  • Extra cooling for Mac Pro

    Posted by Louis Anajjar on August 15, 2008 at 2:40 pm

    Hey everyone,

    Does anyone know how I can get some extra cool air circulating through my 2008 Mac Pro? I am running 16GB, 4 Harddrives, and two 512 graphics cards (8800GT & a 3870 HD)- and the graphics cards are smoking hot, even with their inbuilt fans.

    Thanks,
    Louis

    I live in a very worm place so normally I have to work with air-con anf a fan pointing to the HDs.
    When is a bit could or I have could because the air-con, I put a fan in front of the CPU.
    I tried some of those applications that monitor the temperature on the Mac and I saw that a fan forcing the air to the front, is the faster way to cool it. Your CPU will catch much more dust too.
