CPU cooling experiment

[Sabbathian]

Hello there !

This is my first post on these forums, so hello to you all !

My CPU vent died two days ago.... and I was furious..... so I decieded to
build something I had in my head for some time, and it is this :

"Air tunnel" that directs cold air from 80mm vents on the back of the case
straight to copper CPU heatsink. I used DragonOrbs copper base as the
heatsink and two 80mm vents for cooling. One of them is very quiet
Papst (12dB), and second is much louder and stronger Titan. Papst is
connected onto MoBo, and Titan is connected with molex and has his own
switch on the back of the case.

What did I get with this ? Silence........ 🙂

I know, on their 2xCPU workstations.... seen it, that is where the idea came from originaly......

I've been visiting a psychiatrist for some time now. He plays
mind games. He asks things like 'do you masturbate'? and I say
'do you breathe?

no, all the latest desktop systems i have seen have it. its in all the dumb black cases that open like a briefcase. its not that substantial of an increase in cooling.
