[very very OT] noisy power supply

[Joerg Johannes <liste_joerg@gmx.de>]

Hi list

My power supply takes warm air from inside the PC case to cool itself.
As Athlon processors (especially >1000 MHz) tend to produce lots of
heat, the temperature-sensitive power supply fans turn faster and
faster, making lots of noise. (When I start the box, I don't hear it at
all, but 10 minutes later, I wish back to my old one...)
So my idea is: I open the power supply, flip the fan so that it blows
cool air from outside into the case, voila, much less noise. Is this a
good idea or rather stupid?

thanks

joerg

That's nothing!  If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
