oh great idea! why didnt I think of that before.
The other thing I thought of is to use flat copper piping and essentially create my own radiator and attach it to the inside of the case.


hopefully 2 or 3 of these hdd blocks is enough to transfer the heat out.

are you saying that 25kg of steel / fins are not enough to cool a quad core cpu? (ideally I would like to to cool the gpu too) I am doing that right now - Im just looking for options for lower temps. The problem I have with the current heatpipe setup is actually that the cpu block is blazing hot and...

I got hold of a zalman tnn500a (fanless heatpipe) case and while it does work, im not finding the temps really that satisfactory so Im thinking of ways to mod the case. The idea I have is to change over to water cooling but use the case as a giant radiator. So while there are no inputs for water, wo...

I was thinking of running TOTAL passive, I already have the accelero s1 and a 4850. I can run idle passive but not load (crashes after 30mins - 1 hour) Good thing is that sometimes I forget to turn the fan on after load but at least I have 30mins before it crashes. Just wondering if the HR03 would d...

kiind of a thread hijack - but just wondering if the accellero s1 is the best aftermarket cooler for a card like this?

the thermalright cards arent on the recommended list at all??

they have the hr03 as well as the newer t rad^2

I like how the thermalright can be mounted so the heatsink faces up.
