Cooling Dynamo Cabinet
(1/3) > >>
brained:
Hello Guys... I need a little advice, I have a Dynamo cabinet 25" and I'm currently having heating issues. I have a Pentium D @3.2ghz and its cooled by a Zalman CNPS7000C-ALCU 2 Ball CPU Cooler. I opened my coin box and notice a substancial amount of heat coming of from there. I think heat damaged my previous two motherboards in the cab.

I would like some advice on cooling my cabinet or am I freaking out of nothing?

Fan at the bottom, fan at the top? That's how my cab is and runs cool.

I have a dynamo cab and to be a bit more specific on how I cool it:
Fan at the bottom pulling cool air in (with a dust filter) and fan at the top blowing out.

+1 on this and working with the tendency of hot air to rise.

Fan on the bottom blowing cool air in.

Fan on the top blowing hot air out.

Make sure that there is enough vertical separation between the fans so that the hot air exiting from the top isn't pulled in by the lower fan.

EDIT: To reduce the amount of dust drawn in, use a dust filter like Kevin mentioned and place the lower fan ~6-8 inches above floor level.
