Duct Modding for Vocano's

[Propain]

Hey guys/gals

I purchased this duct mod yesterday and I figured I should give my review cause its pretty nice looking and works great. After playing Battlefield 1942 after like 3 hours I check my temps and Im running 1 degree lower than usual idle speed temp. http://www.thermaltake.com/products/heatsink/ductingMod.htm


cheers

1 degree lower eh? Is it any more "silent" or what?

You mean the active temp w/ the duct was 1 degree cooler than the idle temp without the duct? Do you have a more direct comparison?

If ya follow the link it shows ya what the duct does. I just went into the bios that day and was pretty impressed with the temp. I usually run around 48-50 and it was at 46 or 47.



edit-I had just finished playing Morrowind for about4 hours and its graphicly demanding also and my tem was 46 c 114 f. It actually bounced to 45 c while I was checking.

So how much did you pay for this?

I saw one on sale at www.adamant.com for over $9.00.

Would be nice if you could get it with a volcano series as part of a package deal.

I paid 10$ Canadian for it, so thats like 7$ US. And yes it would be cool as a package but they make more cash this way. Whats cool aboot it is that it brings your fan out about 1.5 " and I have a side fan on the panel that shoots air straight into it.

cool im gonna take a look into that as my computer is running 5-10C hotter than it should be.. so if that is able to drop 3 C i would be really happy for $10

thats only for 80mm fans right..

Right, Spyda. :)

[edit]: So, is it quieter?

[Propain]

cant really tell my fan controller is busted and when I turn it down it just shuts off and ya see my temps fly right up there! lol Ill fix it this weekend (going shopping for a 2500+) and do a decibel test .
