Zane Victor Kaminski Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I noticed in my 9150 that significant amounts of air were not being pushed through the radiator that sits between the fan and the exhaust outlet, and instead were coming out of the small gap between the fan and the radiator. I taped some aluminum foil over this gap to try and combat the problem. I would post temps, but I sadly wasn't too systematic. Anyone else do anything similar? And is there a chance of the tape melting? It seems fine, but I'm a little weary. Here's a picture if anyone's interested: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people do what you did with aluminum tape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newtsy Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Neat little hack. I just received my P150EM and am quite interested in anything I can do to keep temps lower.Is there a thread listing simple hard hacks and tips like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
