BTX and AM64

[juin]

Worst case scenario

2 HDD
2 or 3 optical drive
PSU
100 watt CPU
100 watt VPU
75 watt motherboard NB SB and rest of the stuff
PCI card or PCIe
4 stick of PC 3200 with 2.7 volt

In percantage the cpu will acount for 10 to 30 % of the total amounts.So either you go with a P4E 3.6 ghz or a low voltage PM that wont change much.Keep in mind that is regard to Case temp.

well i still dont see a system putting out 500+W of heat.

i agree that cooling is always an issuem, but what im trying to say is you dont need btx in order to improve it. case deseingers could make changes that could help the problem just as much.

Yes, but could you still hook up to your built in vacuum system like you can with BTX, and need with a P4e?

BTX is about heat distribution and central air flow.

You can compare that to SATA cable and PATA ribon cable.Sata cacble still do a better job and are much longer that ribon cable.At lease does that i have see were very small.

i need to change useur name.

a big 500 watt PSU can easely dissipate 100 watt.Just for the PSU there two fan with direct connection to the outside world

i need to change useur name.
