@Trash80toG4, can it be done so either the vertical or horizontal video card on the CRT neck will not get in the way of the cross-flow fan?
Ah, yeah, I just saw that. I was just wondering if, with tinkering, it can clear a vertical neck video board?Check the pics that'll be added to keep them all aligned in that one post. Mine has a horizontal neck board.
Much more useful information would sampled by attaching that probe to the closed, front side of the flyback heat shield/radiator cage. @alxlab could use that config to test the OEM fan cage part to his two improved versions. That should prove quite interesting.
Hey @alxlab! How is it going with the updated design? Earlier, I asked where my Noctua would fit between the two parts of the bracket?
Cheers!
What machine's flyback is that, no cage apparent? The fact that temp readings are lower on flyback in comparison to CPU temp doesn't matter. Now you're sampling a point more closely aligned with machine cooling state that's unaffected by processor activity. Readings are much nearer to point of exit and should prove to be more relevant to the problem at hand I think?View attachment 6505
just to know…..did place the sensor on the coil. It went up from 24C to 45C in about two hours. Dont think this is crazy hot or so.
