(1) Recommended Placement for the HD160XT Plus
(2) Management of the System’s Internal Cables
The internal airflow of the system has a significant impact on the cooling of the
computer components. Even though the design of the enclosure itself is very important,
organized management of internal cables is the best method for optimizing internal
airflow. Pay special attention to make sure that the air vents and intake/exhaust fans
are not blocked by the cables.
Placement of this system on a well-ventilated area (good intake of cold air and
release of hot air) allows efficient cooling of computer components even in low RPM
mode, for ultra quiet operation. The noise level of the power supply (main factor of
noise emission) will also significantly decrease due to better cooling efficiency.
There must be good front to back airflow when placing the HD160XT Plus in cabinets.
When the Top Panel’s vent is opened, placement of other devices above the
HD160XT Plus can hinder CPU cooling performance.
Manage cables with the enclosed Clamps, and fix
them onto the Bottom panel.
