Or you could make one fanless.

Zalman's fanless video heatsink is great. It cools my geforce4 Ti 4400 just fine.

SHOCKING My xp1600 just survived a reported 96 C! I forgot :oops: to plug the cpu fan back in after tinkering... and I didnt notice until it started going BUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I'm not sure if it was some mobo alarm or what, so I opened up ASUSprobe and it said 96C. Ouch. I turned it off and s...

Methinks I have the slowest xp in the forum! YES!


xp1600+ @ 1400mhz.
Ambient: Really cold basement brr (I love Canada)
Idle: 38 C
Load: 48 C

Mobo: 21 C

w/ too loud Vantec Aeroflow. Will re-post soon with zalman 7000/fanless heatpipe video

Well, it looks like I'll be pulling an all-nighter with my homework... I normally don't drink caffeine, but tonight it looks like I will.

Let's see how I can tolerate the computer fan at 5am!

20 000 hz made me jump out of me seat (my speakers were on high volume and this was my first test, so I wasn't expecting it )

22000 hz I thought I could hear, but my speakers' max is 22000hz, so I dunno.

16 hz was my lower limit. Any lower I could feel (sub) but not necessarily hear.

I have NEVER suffered from a headache in my 17 years of life

I really don't know where I fit in here. My computer is not really what you'd call loud; my friend's computers are a lot louder. However, When I am using it in an otherwise silent environment, it really bugs me. I have actually found the spot to put my head where the reverberation cancels out the mo...

I've been reading about the Athlon 64 3200+, and its ability to lower its clock speeds when it is not being extensively used. I've also been reading about the Zalman CNPS7000Cu, and its variable fan speeds. Is it possible to have the fan shut of entirely at low speeds, or would this cause the temper...

The idle temps must be very low

Thats gotta suck for Antec, eh

What happens when you light a fire in the fireplace?

Hey thanks hsdhman, I didn't know if you could really test it or not. Could you try it at 1024x768 at 32bit? Just wondering as that's how I play it. It won't put out as many fps as that current pic, but it should still be impressive. I'm just curious. LOL I wish i was the one taking those screens! ...

Initially impressive, but inconclusive without more data. 12v fan on CPU--not terribly quiet Open case --convection helping Mobo flat--convection helping No mention of ambient temp Which way is the air moving from that 120mm fan in the second pic? Does this contribute to cooling? Forum link states ...

There's your quake.

Let's see... 3dmark top scores website.... oh, a p4 overclocked to 4.1ghz with a $1000 cooling setup, thats nice. 24500 3dmarks is impressive... Hullo, whats this an Athlon 64... 2.38ghz... 39 degrees ...cooled by a Zalman CNPS-7000cu. 25000 3dmarks! Looks awesome... http://www.tbreak.com/forums/att...

What ever happened to these fancy new TMD fans? Did they just turn out to be very inefficient, or hard to use, or louder than the hype was advertising? I remember the Vantec Aeroflow being advertized with this style of fan, but did anyone use them as case/ psu etc fans as well? I know these things c...

a friend of mine is very lucky........ he is deaf to high frequency noises such as those, but can hear perfectly everything else!

Dont get my desk.. it emits a loud rumbling noise when my comp is beside this desk, but i found a spot to put my foot that stops the rumbling if i do it just right....

(dont worry its custom build, you won't find it in any store, thankfully)

I realize now that im pretty lucky the house didnt burn down.... that fleece blanket could have lit up really quick....

Arent there laws against stuff like putting big loud fans out where they bother everyone? That should be illegal.

My comp is quite loud, and sometimes very annoying. This morning, without my knowledge, my sister tried to make it quieter... She took a thick fleece blanket and smothered it! Luckily, I discovered it in time. It was nice and quiet, but the cpu temp was more than 70 degrees celcius (161* F) and the ...

today i got some very good news, and some rather bad news. I plugged my gf4 into a p4 1.8ghz with some rdram, and it scored well over 10 000 3dmarks. It even ran smoothly with 4xAA and 8xAF @ 1024*768. (thats the good news). We couldnt get it working in the xp2700 though - it was a shuttle mini pc w...

could be my mobo.. i got a crappy asus a7a266. We'll see on saturday, when i plug the gf4 into a faster machine.

I tried to use the asus support site, but it was no help whatsoever. All the forums have been "temporarily offline" for the last few months, and I can find no way to actually ask anyone about it. I cannot find anyone to determine that it is actually defective. Would the proper installation of the th...

Hey everyone thanks for all the help so far I tried nvidia drivers 44.03, and saw a SCREAMING 100 3DMARK INCREASE from 6550 to 6650! wow....... However, now my comp freezes after five minutes of BF1942 or war3, and within 2 minutes of playing generals. I see no benifit from this. Back to 41.09 for m...

ya thats my 4400 in the tomshardware article... though you'd never know from the speeds im getting! They overclocked theirs to 325/685... mine cant even get to 300/600! Im already using AS3 under my ramsinks and gpu cooler. Im pretty sure i didnt go overboard on the amount of it or anything. As far ...

I have the altec lansing 641 (4.1) and the sub is cool after 2 hours of heavy work... im not sure but the 621 (2.1) might be similar.

Hello Ive had an Asus geforce 4 ti 4400 for about 10 months, and I noticed it gets VERY hot. The memory gets too hot to touch, and the back of the stock aluminum cooler gets painfully hot while playing games. I was also only getting about 6000 3dmarks, and about 60% of the frame rates of my friend w...
