Been there, done that. PC was adaquately cooled but a bit noisy.

I get the fan point, but why is she squeezing her boob?

Might as well keep it in the office's 3atm clean room while you are at it.
And still see if you can find a HEPA filter to match it.

Heh I do this

Also, as a bonus, put a cheap 4-inch AC filter on that box fan.

Now you have:

• Zero dust in your PC

• Noise dampening

• A high CFM air purifier, right in your room.

I had to do this with a PC once. I upgraded the GPU in an old HP, and then it would overheat playing Modern Warfare 2. Finally just took off the side of the case and pointed a box fan at it. Never overheated again.

But people actually do do this, if for some reason a PC is overheating or the built-in fans are making too much noise. A big fan running slowly moves more air more quietly than a bunch of little fans. I even wired an external DC fan into the PC's power supply once so that I wouldn't have to plug them in separately.

It can and has been done, but this doesn't work as well as people think in most cases. You need high static pressure fans for some of the good, dense fin heat sinks. There used to be some decent large, more open heat sinks that this worked well with.

I did that once in one build.

It was a shitty PC that I kept upgrading, but for some reason kept the case. so when it kept overheating,I just put a box fan just like that

Hook an industrial chiller to that mf

I did this before discovering one could change the CPU’s thermal paste.

For $700, that little fan better be able to blow, if you know what I mean...

And then there's me with a 9800x3d with a low profile cooler in a fractal ridge. It only throttles under synthetic tests so I just say fuck it and let it run at whatever temp it wants to run at.

I'll stick with my $700 pc fan, thanks.

This doesnt work with dense fin stacks though, because there is not enough pressure to push the air in between the fins. This would only work with very low power systems or heatsinks specifically designed for this kind of fan.

I can't say I haven't ever used a desk fan blowing into an open case, but it was during a heatwave and I was being overly cautious with the internal temperatures. It would probably have been fine without it. Probably.

As a bonus I was able to get some of the blowback from the case, which wasn't too warm and meant that I didn't completely sacrifice my own cooling.

Yeah I did this in university.

Or better yet: ducts.

I have zero case fans in my PC.

I have done this. Heat in Australian summer and high end games requires more cooling then the stock Intel fan.
