PCA Forums

i was just curious as to what everyone else is doing via the way of cooling

name your hsf on your proc
name every fan you got in your system
if you water cool, name where the water flows through

dont neglect the fans on your gpu or chipsets.

Even passive cooling is ok (ie ram heatsinks)

===============================
my main rig:
Volcano 7 with 80mm on my proc
little blue orb on my vid card
2 120mm case fans
1 pci exhast fan (roughly 80mm)
chipset is cooled by the stock hs that came with the board

Second rig:
hsf is some big Alpha Pal series one with 2 60mm fans (on a slot pent3)
4 80mm fans

main rig:

slk 800 Cooled with a 80mm 82cfm deal. I have it on a Thermaltake dip switch thing. almost Always on LOW
3 trilight antec intake fans
I afro engineered a b led fan between the pci cards and my agp card, it is siptied to a back plate thing
large passive cooling on north bridge
enermax quiet 431w ps dual fan
attached to my 4 port bay switch
2 panaflow's pulling it out
a third fan on my Power suply
and a final fan blowing on the back of my mboard behind the cpu and north bridge.

Is your case bolted to the floor?

SLK800 w/Antec blue led fan 80mm (rated 34 cfm) on cpu

4 80mm intake fans in front. 2 are the antec blue led fans blowing on my main hard drive
The other 2 are generic 80mm fans rated at around 30cfm

2 antec blue led fans in the rear

1 80mm clear blue fan on the side panel sucking air out

Most fans are 6 port baybus controlled.

vantec iceberg copper cooler on the chipset

Enermax whisper 431 2 fan w/adjustable rear fan

i just pour a cup of water on it every now and then

heh you think that bad you shouldve seen my old box....10 bay server tower black with red accents/red accented drives/red power/reset

Intake:

Front Lower: 2x panaflo h1a 120mm
Side AGP: panaflo h1a 120mm

Exhaust:

Rear top: 2x Panaflo h1a 120mm
Top Center: YSTech 132 cfm 120mm (this one claimed a permanent gouge in my thumb...)

yes 6 120mms all running on a rheobus

CPU HSF was an sk6 with 8krpm delta (that one annoyed me to be sure...)

it was actually bearable with em all on ~7v but it was fun to dial em all up and listen to the roar

I should mention I use to work at an airport so my hearing is pretty much shot...an advantage sometimes heh

hmm....

I have a cooler master hcc-001 with heat pipes and stock fan.

2 80mm side intakes that allways run on low.

1 top exhaust 80mm allways on low

1 rear exhaust 80mm allways on low

1 crystal orb (thatnks nexus) with a fan from a chrome orb on it.

and thats it. stays a nice 95.0 while folding! heat pipes work!

Koolance midtower with a 200S block on my XP2400+ and a Koolance block on the northbridge. One ThermalTake smart fan on the rear for exhauset and the original HSF on the Radeon. Me thinks I'm gonna go eat some worms now. Pugsley
said thanks to nexus for the orb and didn't mention me for the HeatPipe. That heatpipe is a good one too.
