Want a quite PC do what i did, i Zalmanised my PC, 7000A-Cu cpu
cooler, Northbridge heatsink and a Heatpipe cooler for my VID card
One 120mm fan at font 7 volts and adding on to the side,top and rear
when i get my new case as the case i have can't fit a 120mm at the
back, only two 80mm but thats fine all at 7 volts and 12volts at a
turn of a knob on my Vantec Fan controler,
, not totaly Zalmanised i
guess.
Hope this helps.
