i removed the shroud, replaced the thermal paste with AS5. now i have a 92mm and 80mm fan. i think i'll use the 80mm as the 92mm has too large an area in the middle that restricts air. anyway, i'm wondering what sort of glue to use to attatch the fan to the heatsink. looks like it will fit nicely wi...

quiet 60mm fan

i want to replace the cpu-fan in my dell optiplex gx1 pc. i think it's 60mm. it's pretty small. certainly smaller than 80mm. looks like about the size i would see on a video card. any suggestions? i've undervolted the current cpu-fan with a zalman fanmate to very good success, but i'd like to replac...

brilliant. i really think this deserves some sort of award for ingenuitive design. personally and practically (aka: boring); i would rather spend $120 on a water cooling setup with homemade blocks for cpu, northbridge, and vid card if necessary; no case fans and a lot of venting; but your system is ...

how doable is it to undervolt on this notebook? any idea? is it more difficult to undervolt on a notebook? is voltage the only thing that is to be considred for heat production? or does cpu speed go into it as well?

mobile barton 2500+ undervolting

i see a lot of talk about oc'ing this cpu, but not about undervolting; which i find strange since this is spcr. i'd like to replace my 1900+ in my fujitsu s2020 with a 2500+, and undervolt it a bit. any idea if this is possible? and how well it would work? good idea? bad idea?
