Have you tried the SLK-900U HS? No, I took the Zalman route. But that didnt work because it would keep overheating when I closed the side panal (and i would have to turn on the three case fans to max). Try to undervolt your CPU, it could lower your temps a little. Not an option. You could try the X...

Alas it has come to this?

After trying all passively cooled solutions I find that even in the best case I am unable to close the side of my case during peak usage. If you want to see my specs, pictures, and detailed insanity of trying to cool my beast quietly then look here: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=5...

Well the sega is about to continue. After all of this time I have been doing some tweaking, re-cabeling, and going on a few vacations. Now I have my computer running well with only three fans left. The Zalman CNPS7000-Cu is now on and running at half speed. My CPU temperatures are quite a bit down n...

I respond like this because I have found it usualy makes people actualy read the posts carefuly. If you use the built in quote system people usualy miss something from my experence.

>Well, you could try to make the top PCI slot empty - that will give some more air to your GPU. That is done already. It has one empty space/slot between the AGP card and the next PCI card. It is a rule I have to at least leave one empty slot between a video card and the closest PCI card. >Also, it ...

All right here are the pictures. Forgive the placement of the power cables for I recently redid the wiring when I examined and altered the fans. I have not had time to clean up the power wiring, though granted it is mostly out of the way where the path of air actually travels. Also the wires above t...

Ruprag: If I isolate the PSU I will harm the ability for my computer to remove heat from the case. The True power series actually has two fans that blow heat from the inside of the case to the outside. Since this fan is positioned right above my CPU’s heat sink I would lose even more ability to draw...

I have three system fans (two intake and one outtake) in addition to the two fans of my PSU (it’s a true power) that pull air out of the top of my case. I have to agree that the problem is ventilation but MODing the case is out of the question. Having a “blow hole” while being effective would make t...

What do you guys recommend?

I have a brand new P4 3Ghz, Radeon 9800 PRO, on a passively cooled I865 based motherboard. All of this is enclosed in a Lian Li PC-6070. As you can guess with all of this it is rather hot in there. The stock heatsink and fan constantly gives out a high pitched sound when the case is closed and under...
