Hi there l'm in the process of shifting my Semperon 2600+ matx into a desk top case that's only about 130mm tall. Would l be right in thinking that cutting down the Ninja would completely ruin the effectiveness of the heatpipes ? l will buy a decent low profile cooler when funds allow but that may n...

Thanks very much.. l shall indeed buy one...

Hiya

l've got hold of a 2.5" drive which l'd like to try in my machine.. l know that l can buy an adapter but would it be possible to make one ? l've got plenty of 3.5" ribbons and various other cables..

lf someone could point me in the right direction please

l'm pleased that you like my 'overkill' approach. When l made the PSU duct, l used the sort of closed cell foam that they use for camping mats. lt's worked well for the last 4 or 5 months.

I have a virtually identical setup to yours except the cpu is a Sempron 3000. The Ninja is massively overkill for your CPU; I use the stock heatsink with a Yate Loon 80mm @ 5V, the CPU runs 1.6Ghz @ 1.1V, currently idling at 30C. You can alter the CPU Vcore and multiplier in BIOS on the 760GXK8MC. ...

l've done a little testing this evening with my new Ninja. l've not been doing anything apart from browsing the net but here are my temps Room temp is 26C/78F CPU temp is 33C/90F Case temp is 31C/88F Hard Drive temp is 29C/84F and the heat sink temp on my cheap PSU is 37C/99.5F Does these seem sensi...

Absolutely stunning.. Well done

l've been wanting to improve the cooling my my cheap tower for sometime now, here's the mods to date..

That's such a pretty case.. l was tempted to get a Minuet for my mATX system but ...

l hope l can get one here in the UK for a sensible price

Hmmm, not something that l've thought about. l've just increased my fan speed from 5v to 7v and am getting a temp (at idle) of 34 C for an ambient of 25C. l'm happy with that and the noise is very low.. l may muffle it a little but my 4yr old Maxtor is more of a problem at the moment eventhough it's...

l recently posted this thread with the idea that l used..

Hi people l've just completed ducting my small Semperon 2600+ and thought l'd share a few pictures with you. The ducting is made from 9mm closed cell foam, the sort that is used the the mats that people place under sleepings bags.. l've got a cheap thermal readout module attached to one of the sinks...

Crumbs, do you mean to say that my GeForce3 TI200 is a little out of date ?

Well l'm not a gamer and it works perfectly for me

Hi People l'm running an ISO 350 Watt (model iso - 450pp) supply in my Semperon 2600+ system. l've opened up the rear vents and have changed the fan for an Akasa 80mm item that's running at 5 volts.. l have a thermometer probe attached to one of the heatsinks and it's reading 42.5 Celcius at the mo....

Likewise

That looks good to me.. ls the fan sucking or blowing ?

Thankyou very much for the information, l shall certainly look to see what information l can find about my P4.

Best wishes

l certainly like the idea of underclocking, can you reccomend and 'safe' sources of info please.

Drive looks really good Chris, is it managing to stay cool enough ?

Thanks very much for your thoughts. l replaced the broken fan with a chunk of heatsink as mentioned in this thread. http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=22440 Things seem fairly cool and the old fan may have met it's maker a long time ago, l just happened to notice it when l took the car...

Although l've recently replaced the broken fan on my card with a larger heatsink, l was wondering whether there's any advantage to having cooler running. Whilst the original HS was very hot to the touch, l didn't actually have any graphics problems that l was aware of.

l bought my current machine about 3 yrs ago and have been happy with it eversince. A few months l got hit by the 'modding' bug and now find that l want to do something with it's PSU. The one fitted is a JJ-300AP made by Jou Jey (Nope, never heard of them). lt's apparantly got some sort of fan contro...

Just a quick update: Since fitting the heatsink, the card seems to be a lot cooler. l can't measure the exact temp but the base of the HS is now warm to the touch as opposed to burning my finger :) l've also removed the pci blanking plate below it to encourage a little airflow. Many thanks to Seb an...

Hey, that reminds me... The HS that l used came from a Compaq Prolinea DX4/100. Didn't someone once say that we'd never need more than 640k of memory ?

Thanks very much for the information. l found a small HS in my box of bits this afternoon so thought l'd have a play. l kept the blue fan mount, removed the little fins and managed to mount my new HS onto it with some tiny countersunk screws. l also had to cut 2 corners off of the new HS to get it t...

l can't remember whether l've posted my pics before so appologies if you've seen them before. The first picture was my attempt at HD suspension (yes l know they're rubber bands :) ) but l've now changed to the 2nd method where the HD is resting on sponge. l'm still using the same heatsink but, as yo...

Just noticed that the fan on my lnno3D tornado GeForce3 Ti200 has seized. l don't know how long it's been like it and the insulation on the supply wires is rather hard and parched. lt's only a little 40mm thing but l've felt the sink and it's very hot.. Any suggestions ?? The heatsink that's mounted...

l'm considering adding some extra heatsinking to the heatsink that came with my PC. lt's currently fitted with a fairly thin 70mm fan which l'd also like to change for an 80x25 item that l have here. Anyone done anything similar ? l realise that l could go out and buy a larger/better HS but funds ar...

Absolutely fantastic.. lf it were a woman l might be interested in dating Nice idea with the HD, l've done a similar thing but added some home built heatsinks.
