it sucks in a case, dont run it in a case

unless the case has a big fan on the side

Thanks for the tip and links philip, that was really useful. To be honest with you this entire hunt for best airflow design came about when I realized that this beast will suck when enclosed in a typical case. I also believe no case exist that might hold 6 of these comfortably with enough spacing to help with airflow.

And so I wanted to build a custom case with these beasts in mind and wanted to identify the best possible placement of fans to help with heat dissipation.

Regarding the radiator fans, are they good enough to run 24/7? To be honest, I never had experience with them so I don't have much info on them.

Added Later:
I found this link about fans life time, hope this helps

well the 10 inch will use 80 watts which means a splice into a molex and the molex allows 3 power choices been a while since I did that but I think the correct wiring to a molex will yield 9 volts which should still let that fan pull tons of air.

I think I will take this one on and try to build one. I have cards I have mobos I have the case. so why not
