[Gllug] 1U Cases

[Richard Pounder]

All athlons in 1u cases I have seen don't have a fan on the heatsink they
have a fan that sucks are from it and blows it to the outside world
(normal more then one). I have a 1.4ghz athlon (in a midi tower case) runs
at 50 degrees. As long as there is plenty of air movement through the
heatsink you will be ok (but make sure it faces the right way I have know
1u pcs crash because the air hits the heatsink from the flat side).

Also if you take the case of my pc it runs hotter because the air flow
isn't so good. Always make sure the fans more are through the case never
make them cancel each other out.
