 How can they seriously say that...That's why THG aren't my favourite reviewers any more (since very very long). I understand that a simple reviewers tries to explain the sound of the fan but THG is a big and well known site. Don't tell me they can't afford a dB-meter, they have enough "sponsors". | |

| Thanks! I can't see it very well on the pictures but do you have any idea if it's possible to mount or mod the crossflow fan so it sucks? I have a very small case with not much airflow and I don't like the idea of a fan blowing hot air on my mobo. That's why I don't like the Acceloro either |

 | it has to "blow" otherwise the HSF on the vidcard won't get cooled down.

| But why does it have to blow? If it possible to let the crossflow fan suck, doesn't it suck air through the heatsink then? |

| you'd be surprised how much air will escape without proper venting, performance will degrade a lot; anyway, I don't see any easy to reverse the crossflow airflow
