- Replies: 4

The operability of a heatpipe oriented upside down depends on it's length (or the length of it's vertical section, i.e. how high does the wick structure have to pump the condensed fluid). 10cm - you doubtly notice any difference, 30cm - your temps go ski-high. They make special pipes for upside-down...

I am the author of the article you are refering to (the translation from Russian was done by some other guy :)). Well, i'd say the best option for you is to reconsider about the PSU model to mod. I, personally, have no idea on how to attach heatpipes to heatsinks like these. And be careful with link...

stmok Never heard of flexible heatpipes but flexible _thermosyphons_ were once mentioned at overclockers.com. I don't know how did they fabricate them. The problem with flexibility is you need very special pipes to achieve it. A pipe has to be soft in order to bend easily and it has to be vacuumed ...

Bluefront The St Louis area murders continue, with no end in sight. IMHO....the only possible answer is swift capital punishment for murder. Nothing else works. This won't either, since it's the same old fighting with the consequence, not the cause. The question is: what makes people think they can...

RaptorZX3 the fan coming with the Ninja is a good replacemrnt fan for the PSU? The first question you have to ask yourself is - does the original fan really need replacement? The fan's flow \ noise ratio in free air doesn't matter much relating to PSU cooling: in this case the fan just has to push ...

I see a potential issue here. In order to make this system really worthy for silent enthusiasts, hardware manufacturers will have to allow fan speeds that, in some cases, may kill the hardware. Will they do it? Doubtly, HP and ASUS are not the guys that would use a "use at your own risk" disclaimer....

Bluefront The sound is amplified, like a little speaker. If there is sound. A 600 RPM fan doesn't make any. Now make a tube out of something with a soft lining........ like the aluminum with a felt covering like I suggested. Sounds through it are muted, compared to a hard-sided tube. But flow imped...

tjoff Only drives thats connected to a SATA controllercard since PATA doesn't support hot-swap and windows freezes if a PATA drive becomes unresponsive.

AFAIK, currently there are three alternatives worth considering (in the order of decreasing soundproofing capabilities): 1. A notebook drive in a mini-Quiet Drive (or a homebrew analog). Dead silent, best choice in terms of noise dampening. Performance suffers, however (RAID?). 2. A 3.5' 7200 RPM FD...
