So I just ordered the vantec tornado the other day, 80mm with a 84CFM rating and all that good stuff. I checked my computer temperature before I shut it down to install the fan to see how much of a difference I could get. I replace the rear intake with the new tornado (yes I know most people have rear exhaust) so anyway I had a cpu temp of 57C (yeah that sucks regardless I know this too) and after I install the fan and put the fan that WAS there in the front....my temperatures rose 2 degress celcius.....Now I'm no expert in aerodynamics, but USUALLY when you have more airflow than before shouldn't it cool shit down not heat up two more degrees to now sit at 59C cpu temp? For one I believe I need to get rid of the grill at the rear of the case, because the little metal grills that are there when the case is built is just restricting too much airflow. Ontop of that I need to do a little rearranging, but still it boggles my mind how a 2x more powerful fan RAISES my temperatures........any ideas
