improve airflow@oem case

[limjialok]

I have done a few of these type of work for customers last time.

Many wanted to change the case, but their mobo won't fit new casings. (See from your pic, i suspect ur mobo is custom made for dell)

Other than that, we can only install more fans. If u wan can take out cd tray cover n install fan there. But ugly.

i was thinking of adding more fan. but my mobo only have 1 3pin and 1 4pin fan slot, which is all used up

how to check if its a standard matx mobo?

Measure it and double-check the position of the mounting holes:

Micro-ATX specifies length to be 9.6 inches with width varying from 6.7 to 9.6 inches, it has three less expansion slots than standard ATX. Maximum number of expansion slots is four (4)

Up to eight (8) mounting holes are available. The two holes circled in green are optional positions for motherboard manufacturers to utilize and holes circled in red are usually eliminated if the board size is small to not require them.

can just connect the fans to the psu power cables mah

gtx560ti is a hot card? will changing to a gtx750ti/gtx950 lower the temperature to 70degree? as i can sell my gtx560ti and get a gtx750ti at SDG $50 more

The 750Ti/950 will certainly be cooler than the 560Ti but I have no idea whether you can go to 70 degrees.

i cant seem to find a suitable cable from my psu to connect to my fans
my psu is this http://www.newegg.com/global/sg/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094

is the gtx560ti known to overheat? as i found countless post where people reported gtx560ti to overheat. but i couldn't find any post saying that gtx750ti overheat.

Well GTX 560ti is build out of old gen tech and with some times of usages on the gpu, the pcb and other component degrade over time on usage. therefore overheating will definitely occurs.

Gtx 750ti is consider a new gen tech and over the years nivida has continue to strive for good performance while having good thermal system.But u must know that with good cooling system from AIB partners, they also work hand-in-hand with nivida to make sure its safe from the user.

Last thing u must know that with after some time of usage and environment of the pc, can also cos overheating.

wrong connector

the fan is female too

need the adaptor to have male pins , 2 or 3

I was looking at gtx750ti and I realised that some gtx 750ti requires the 6pin connector, does using the 6pin induces/makes the gpu runs hotter?
Do u think I should buy gtx750ti with duo fan with 6pin of gtx 750ti not requiring 6pin buy only single fan?
Which will be better for lower temperature?

the motherboard provide 75watt while extra 6pin connector provide another 75watt

It will certainly be cooler because of its lower TDP, the 6pin versions would normally be overclocked versions because they may/may not require additional power.
The problem now is less of the TDP of the card but the general airflow, it will certainly help with lowering temps but your card will still be hotter than normal.
If you leave the side panel off for gaming, would it drop the temperature by a lot?

If I take off the side panel and run OCCT for a few min , the temperature drop a few degree only

how about if you point a desk/floor fan straight into the open case? do the GPU temperature drop significantly? if it doesn't, then the GPU is not dissipating heat properly, you may have to clean HSF of the GPU.

Update: I sold my gtx 560ti and bought a gtx750ti. Now my idle temperature is 35degree and 100load on furmark is 70degree. Guess that the airflow in my oem dell case isn't that bad uh
