I recently noticed that the area around my graphics card was getting pretty hot, so I thought about how to fix this problem. Well I came up with the idea of putting one of my old 92mm Logisys fans in the back of my computer where the card slots are. To explain this further so everyone gets the picture, I took the fan and put it OUTSIDE of my computer. I then ran the cords from the fan through one of the openings at the back of my computer where a fan used to be. I took off some of the card slot covers that were not being used so the hot air is sucked out of the computer. I then connected the cables, and secured the fan with some zip ties to some cables above the fan outside of my computer.
**- My main concern is, is this safe, and will this do any harm to my computer I am unaware of? Everything looks very safe and secure to me, the only danger is that if you were to stick your finger between the fan and the computer.
- By the way, the fan makes a very significant temperature change where the hot area was, and it also keeps my entire computer cooler as well.
Here is a picture of the fan and the area around it:
