Cables of course. Fans second. I prefer the Scythe KAZE 3000rpm 133cfm 120mm fan. Apart from the Delta 200cfm fan, which I cannot find, it's the most powerful fan out there. - Luke. ID: 978513 ·

One of the guys I worked with could not keep the inside of his computer cool because of a prototype video card. The solution was to pop the case open and aim a desk fan into it at a range of 2 inches... BOINC WIKI ID: 978517 ·

I'm not sure of the exact physics of this, but would propping an identical fan on the opposite side of a heatsink decrease temperatures? - Luke. ID: 978538 ·

One in, one out........ I run that config on my 920.... Two fans, not opposing. Conveniently enough, the Scythe Ninja 2 HSF in my PC ia directly in-line with the rear fan (120mm Nexus).....nett result, when running S@H at 2.66GHz on a 2.33GHz CPU, it runs at 38ÂºC. There is also a Nexus at the front of the PC, pulling in air. I only really order bits and pieces, for complete rebuilds, although the next one, will only involve moving to an Intel Quad and a better graphics card - the rest is fine for a while yet.
