Default Ximatek Red Scorpion Push Pull Fan Mod
hey guys here are pics of my red scorpion push pull fan mod. before i did this i resat my cooler by applying new paste. temps before were idle 38-40 now idle temps have improved to 28-30

I used double sided tape first time (idiotic move)




The Aftermath of double sided Tape



Used my brain and got some cable ties



Then Tied the fans and all done!










What you guys think? my temps dropped from 38idle to 28-30 idle!
