Alright, I'm gonna add a window to my Antec 300, and doing this is gonna get rid of a 120mm side fan, and this gives me an extra fan.. Any ideas on what i should use it for?
Got any other Fan location available? Put it there.
Otherwise I see two other options.
1. Save it until you upgrade your case, a fan dies and needs replacing, give it to a friend
2. Sacrifice it to science.
I'd go for option 1 though
Step 1. Collect fan
Step 2. ????????
Step 3. PROFIT.
All my fans slots are full, and none of my friends are into computer gaming so looks like im keeping it.. I think i might actually trade it out for the stock hyper 212+ fan so I have two cougar fans on it, and then store that hyper 212+ fan until i upgrade, unless anyone has any mod suggestions i could try? I got the bug hahaha
EDIT: I stopped my gpu fan from running just to see what temps would be like when i put the case in, and the load temp for gpu dropped and the cpu fan raised.. I thought for sure gpu temps would raise
Get some extra long screws and try place it on top of another fan that is installed for 'extra' airflow preferably exhaust.
Keep it as a spare or use the motor for an arduino project.
