But I am thinking about improving the fans efficiency to help them work better with the air scoops.
I've read topics both suggesting and advising against inverting fans polarity and I am a bit confused.
I would need the fans to move air from the inner side of the radiator to the outside but I am not so sure just inverting the polarity would work well given the fans conformation.
Thanks.

overheating rc51? how about a fix? must read.

i posted this a while back...i can see nobody listens...as usual ...the info is their for a cheap fix...the scoops only work if your moving...doesnt do much good in the real world when traffic comes to a stop. and yes rc51's will over heat on a hot day!..hope this helps
