What do you think? In theory - Background: Our body generates heat; and our skin regulars the body temperature acting like a heatsink. Condition: Standing outside a building or house under calm condition (less than 5 Mph wind) in the shade versus standing inside a building with two windows and two fans directly opposing each other and blowing at the same direction at about 20 mph. Question: Do you feel cooler in the building or outside? |
I think that depends what's the temperature. My guess: If the temperature is the same I think it might be colder inside. |
Same temp condition :) Different wind speed. |
more wind = feel colder |
More wind = Feel colder = heat being removed from the skin = heat being removed from heatsink = higher thermal loss of any thermal generator |
Put your hand in front of the intake fan of your PC; your hand feels "colder" from the draft drawing heat from your hand. Put your hand in front of the exhaust fan; your hand may feel warmer; air blow across the case absorbs the temp from heat generator(s). Just an 80mm fan will provide ~25-35 CFM; 2x80 = ~50 to 70 CFM in a case that is much smaller than a room; I have not figured out the velocity but it will certainly be higher than say inside a room where there is no wind speed to speak of. Otherwise, paper will be flying around. Bottom line; a well vented case is far more efficient than open case. |

Only if you need to test 50 heatsinks in a year:) + upgrading Vcard monthly + removing HDD out for "cleaning" + replacing power supply regularly just for fun :D It serves no other purpose except "looking cool" in front of your peers and endangering yourself and others in the same room. If my kids use open case PC, I would have asked them to move out before the house gets burnt down. |
I recently bought a new case (Thermaltake Soprano) which has 2 120 mm fans and 1 92 mm fan. Still the temperature is 4-5° higher then when it's open. It seems I got to reorganize my cables, I think. |
