How about a ducting review? I'd like to see a serious ducting review.

If you do not replace your current pump with a quiet one, then the best way to stop the vibration is to put up some mass onto the pump, for instance, you can use a sand bag, and put the sand bag on the pump, or you can fix a steel block on the pump, this is the common way to deal with vibration, it ...

The only way to further quiet your pc and keep the temp. low is to do ducting. the duct can provide fresh air to cpu in the meanwhile you can eliminate the front fan, on the other hand, a good duct can cover up the cpu, HS and cpu fan, this will further reduce the already low speed/noise cpu fan's s...

I use rubber band to tie my case fan(I use a $17 evercool 120mm@5v,it is aluminum housing fan from Compusa) to the case, you must tie it tightly, it works well, I spend 3 bucks bought a bunch of rubber bands that girls use to their hair. :lol: There is only one cpu fan, it is a H1A panaflo 80mm at 7...

CUT IT! DON'T HESITATE!

My ducting reduced cpu temp from 41C to 32C. I will put up a few pics later to show you what I did. I am using AMD Anthlon 2000+. My temp. info. is as following: Room:20C CPU: 32C Idle/38C load Case: 28C Hard Drive: 28C AMD Anthlon 2000+ My mod procedure: My original CPU idle temp is 45C, after I re...

I am asking if anyone used it, I know this has been posted before, but I'd like to know what is the experiences if someone has used it, thanks.

Anyone has tried out of this? looks pretty cool!

A couple of helicopter blades will do it! dude,lol, I guess it is mm, not m.

I am a smart AmeriKKKan,lol

1" is thick, if you can fit it into your case then it's good, of you can not fit it into your case, I have to say NA! lol

What is the best material for ducting? cardboard is cheap and easy to mod but it is ugly to put it in a system. any other material is good for ducting yet do not require a lot of workshop equipment and efforts?

Thanks for any suggestions.

people spent money and time to buy and construct interior insulation to quiet their pc, I don't think obsorbing noise is a effection way, instead I belive isolate noise is much more effective and cheaper to do. I am working in car industry and other NVH sensitive applications, enclosure is one way t...

The biggest difference compare other fridge cooling to mine is that I use fridge to cool my resevior, the other ways use cooling coils or other expensive and complex methods which require a professional workshop to construct. my way is very effecive. put it this way, I cool large amont water in the ...

The thickness of that 2 sponges are much larger than the gaps between the hard drive and case, therefore this creats sort of interference fit, the hard drive is pressed firmly by that 2 sponges, the middle section of the hard drive is cooled by the bottom 80mm fan as you can see from the picture, th...

no, originally I suspend HD using elastic cord, but I found sponge can do better damping job to silent the HD, also the upper fan feeding fresh air to cpu fan and blow at cpu heat sink too, I think this is why my temp drops.

I have 2 front 80mm fans, I moved one of them (top one) up so that it is at the same height of the rear 120 mm exhaust fan, it also blow fresh air at the cpu heat sink as I mount the fan inside a 3.5" cage and enclosed the cage to use the cage as a duct. see the picture you will see what I mean, aft...

Thanks a lot for all your suggestion!

I am gonna think twice before I pursue dell cases.

Yes, I found a green plastic duct that cover the cpu with heat think and cpu fan, in mnay case the duct only cover the cpu with heat sink no fan at all, of course the duct will cover the rear low speed fan too. beside the duct, the dell case includes many plates as you fold it open, those plates div...

I agreed with you guys, because as I removed 2 front fans, the temp actually drops, this seems negtive pressure inside the case is the way to go. I got a rear 120mm exhause fan@5v, 2 80mm intake fans@5v. I am thinking to remove the 2 front fans, and add a 80mm@5v at the rear, how do you think of thi...

could you please let me know what is the reason that you dislike the DEll cases?

Thanks

Plucky, there are theoriws based in science, and theories you pull out of your ass. College level scienyists pdefer thnat teh thwories taught be based in sccience, ID is not based in sicence, and theref.

Positive Case Pressure VS Negtive Case Pressure, which one is better? How do you achieve it? how do you arrage exhaust fan capacity VS intake fan capacity? Any thoughts welcome, let's have a nice discussion, also can you guys post your case pressure - negtive or positive and the way that you use to ...

Don't do it, it won't work,dude. it will increase noise level and temp too. the only thing decreases is the weight of the case which won't make any sense to me.

There are fundamental differences between those over clock fridge cooling methods and my fridge cooling. In my case I only drill a hole on the fridge then put the reservoir and pump inside the fridge, that’s it, because my target is not over clocking instead my purpose is to silent my PC, therefore,...

Also, keep in mind as I repeatedly stressed I only have the water cool to 10C, and all fridges are designed to cool below sub zero, so I have not noticed any long period compressor running since I cool my pc using the fridge. this also served well to prevent consendation, however, you do need find a...

Na, The fridge compressor will NOT run for a long time, because the power used to cool PC to 10C and maintain that requires much less energy than the energy loses as you open the door of the fridge when you put things in and out. do yourself a favor before you buy an expensive yet low efficiency rad...

If you have a loud fridge, then you have it, my setup won't effect much of the operation of an ordinary fridge. Since the wattage of a PC needs is much less than a fridge needs. My target is to cool and silent my PC effectively; this has nothing to do with the location of your fridge or the quietnes...

The beauty of this method is that you can get cold water its temp is much lower than a radiator can provide, radiator can only provide room temp water at the most, and every home has a fridger, so you don't need buy any extra equiment, it is even cheaper than buy a radiator. this way also save a lot...
