okay i'm gonna put um two 120 mil fans on the top of the case here to see if i could cool it down
um i did this a couple days ago before i got the cpu
um cooler to see be cool fixed everything but i did want to put two fans up there prior to
see if that would do anything here's the um motherboard it's a geo byte motherboard
and there's three connectors for um fans there's one on the corner here
one over here by the power and then one all the way on the bottom they're all called like system
fan one system fan two system fan three so there's three that
aren't being used right now um the two fans i bought had molex connectors and they were three
pin um fans so i really couldn't use the three pin you have to these are four pin connectors on
the motherboard you have to get a four pin fan if you're going to go directly into the motherboard
so in my video i'm going to show you in a couple minutes here
i have the two fans that i put on top connected to the molex cable in the back
and that was just to see what kind of temperatures i can get out of this thing
with running two extra fans on top i have already switched the side fans in the back here to um
intake from exhaust and it had no effect on the temperatures i had done a video on that already
um so this video is going to show you basically what the fans look like when we're in this top
portion of the case here and i'm going to give you the results of the temperatures
it's from best buy as well they were thirteen dollars
i'll also point to the um cpu fan connectors there's one over here
in the corner and there's one here by this cable system fan two i think and then there's
one under the video card which you can't see because the video card's there but there is
another one there so there's three connectors on the motherboard if i was going to do this
long term i probably use the connectors on the motherboard there are four pins
um i just put the molex cable because it was quick and easy so i'll show you that portion now
so here's the two fans i put in the top i tried both directions had the no effect on the
temperatures i plugged it into the bottom there um they have a like a totem pole of um molexes and
i just added two more molex connectors for these things um they're cool fans i mean i wouldn't mind
keeping them but um if they don't do anything i don't see a reason to use the power actually
you just take the cover off and you can screw them in they're easy
so on this cyber um power machine i flipped the two side fans like most people say in the forums
and i actually added two large 120 millimeter fans on top as exhaust
and still i'm getting those high temperature readings so the only solution we have is to
replace this cooler on this cpu and that's what i'm going to probably wind up doing
okay i did like the forum set and i reversed the fans that are on the side that come with
the case and i made them from exhaust to intake and i didn't see any temperature changes on a cpu
anyway then i put two 120 mil fans on top and i ran them as exhaust and i also tried
them as intakes and i didn't see any temperature changes i'm going to leave
this the side fans reversed as intakes but i'm not going to bother with the top fan
