However, it is critically important the air flow through them isn't in series. If it is, the second radiator won't do any good at all as the air from the first will already be as warm as it will ever get. Shoot I was wondering about that. Im obsessed with the Silverstone TJ08, hmm maybe i can cut h...

I'm looking into making a compact water cooling set-up, its going to be completely internal. How much trouble would it cause to have two radiators in series, probably on opposite sides of the case. I'm afraid one radiator wouldn't quite cut it, especially because I want to try some mild overclocking...

I'm planning my next build and I kinda want to try out an Acrylic Case. And with this I'll have lots of lights and all so I want to see it, but I'll need to rethink my silence strategy. My main question though, will I lose any benefits with acrylic? Does it transfer sound better than aluminum? Will ...

I got:
3000+, 939, DH8-E6, 55°C, 38.2W

*editing my rambles.*

Core Solo is a halved Dou. They make only one variety... which is unfortunate because it's not a low power part, well it is but not a lower power Core.

I'm really liking the looks of the future of Storage. We'll have super charged perpendicular hard drives, hybrid hard drives combining flash and regular techniques, full fkash hard drives, and if IRam and its siblings can take off then I;m happy. I like variety.

Justblair that room is much to clean. And let me get this right skanders you want the parts out in the open? The case is a nice sound insulator and I would keep it as long as you aren't running passive. You could do like me I took all my harddrives and Disc drives and stuck them into External enclos...

I hit 65° C on my X850XT yesterday and there were no problems with image. Returning it would probably be the best idea because I'm very sure that x800s have more thermal range than what yours started freaking out on. I haven't had mine crash through heat yet except when the ATI Automated Overclockin...

Found this while poking around today.

Its about using spirals to make fans, impellers, heat sinks, and other things. They are looking into the computer world. If their claims of decreased noise are true I might have to "re-silence" my computer.

I'm worried about the future of HDTVs, the transmission standard HDMI requires encryption for HDTV content, and we'll probably get the shaft when manafacturers choose shoddy decoders and loud cooling systems.

My dad's Dell XPS is just a little bit louder than my half finised silencing project, but every now and then whe it gets this one wierd crash playing games, you are forced to turn it off. At which point the fan ramps up think a big two foot fan right next to your ear except higher pitch.

So how would this play in the case of an external radiator for a water cooling system. If I have the fins of the radiator vertical, would the temperature difference of the outside air have a considerable effect?

My computers are right next to the window, they heat up the cold Montana air before it enters. Last Night My 3000 Venice hit 28C on full load.

Unfortunately Via is still behind, they release their first double PCEX solution while Nvidia and ATI already have dual 16x coming out.

Ok so I have a 120mm Nexus and a 120mm Aluminum CoolMaster. I'm looking to mod my Zalman 7700. Now I have very limited tools, well actually all I have is a screwdriver so I need an easy solution. I am liking the idea of swapping my coolmaster in, I can get access to a nice drill at my school, and I ...

Oh darn you! You probably got the Geode NX from sponsors... how am I supposed to buy one of them.

I need to get me some of this stuff, great way to ruin someones chrome finish, aluminum and chrome are pretty in the same situation with these things. Also seems like a easy way of making a hole in your case for that new fan.

If I remember right someone did a test and found toothpaste trumps all thermal pastes until it drys out.

They were talking about that on the board linked to above, apprently the additives in the motor oil would cause a problem.

Maybe you have a particularly loud backlight. Dont most LCDs use cold cathodes? They use AC current and it bothers some people when they see them blink, never heard of people hearing the buzz though.

So how sealed are hard drives? If it is just the pressure hole couldn't you cover it with something like a little peice of flexible material, like a really small balloon. Though you gotta make sure the balloon can stand mineral oil(or whatever you are using) because I know latex can't.

I have a Soltek board for my A64 and the duct lines up with my processor thanks to the behemoth Zalman 7700. Though its not the best fit, I'm looking into making it fit around the Zalman better.

I have a SLK3000B,with two ASPIRE CF12S 120mm and a Zalman 7700 making all the noise in my computer. I'm looking to upgrade to some new fans. A nexus for the Zalman, but the case fans I don't know about. Would I benefit from getting an aluminum fan? Is two fans a big improvement, or would one fan in...

I have been using this for the past 3 years. Reaching a point now where I'm goign to have to replace it when I can see the entire picture on my screen.

Very cool I get to post my find without making a new topic.

Just an hour ago I searched for Nexus 120 on google and the first page brought up Nexus' product page, and their "new fan"



Heres the page:

I just installed my VF700 last night, and I used the little peice of plastic from the ram heat sinks to spread the paste. It was pretty much covered except for some thin patches but probably don't exist anymore. Have fun setting it up hopefully you wont have to clip a heatsink to fit with your nailc...

Ok so NX is socket A? Is there a possibility of doing this:

You know so I could have a Dual Fanless system for multitasking in my living room?
