How about trying it with your existing case and radiator, to start with? Take the fans off the radiator and use case exhaust fans to suck air through the radiator into the case. Or you could turn the fans round: positive pressure would give similar water temperatures with cooler in-case air temperat...

Ah, yes, that's plausible. Heatpipes are going to have nonlinear behaviour in terms of power carried as a function of temperature difference... and absolute temperature is going to matter too. So for a given heatsink if you were to draw a graph of the temperature of the processor as a function of po...

It strikes me as very odd that the rankings can change when you change nothing but the heat power input, as you do when going from stock i7 processor to overclocked. I'm having trouble believing it's real. Either there's something odd about the physics that I've failed to consider, or the apparent c...

You could consider a length of that soft 10mm-diameter copper piping for household plumbing, squashed against the sides of the drive enough to flatten it a bit, with some thermal paste. The idea of sealing it up and watercooling it seems sensible to me. Somewhere on here a while back I read of someo...

"Just one folder" shouldn't really be a limitation. You can use RAID or Logical Volume Management to combine several discs or partitions into something the filesystem will treat as one, or you can use symbolic links ("shortcuts" in Windows) so that the slimserver software will see an extra folder as...

Thank you!
I had seen it was the cheapest PCI-E card that dabs.co.uk sell (£32 own-brand or £35 Sapphire) but X300SE isn't mentioned on http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/radeon.4.html
and on searching for a little while I didn't find anything telling me it would work.
Do you happen to know it does?

Low-end PCI-E DVI for Linux (xfree86 4.3) - suggestions?
Building a new Linux box, I feel it makes sense to go for a PCI-E motherboard rather than AGP. The graphics card needs good resolution (1600x1200 or better) but 3D performance needn't be anything special. (DVI isn't an immediate requirement but would be nice: I'm keeping an eye on the price and qual...

I would rather have ten pulses per revolution anyway. Why throw away some of the detail by only reporting every tenth pulse? If necessary this can be done at a later stage by whatever software or circuit is making use of the data. The ten pulses could be particularly useful if you're wanting to make...

Has anyone seen any evidence of Water Wetter giving improved performance? I haven't. Perhaps it does, but I'm not going to assume so. Anyway, I'd recommend just using some anti-corrosion additives in distilled or deionised water: either the "life extender" stuff for adding to the water/antifreeze mi...

DrJ, I agree about adding a pH buffer. I think a redox buffer would be important too, or at least a reducing agent to mop up the oxygen that's bound to seep in slowly, through little gaps or perhaps diffusing through the walls of the tubing. What are your thoughts on what to use? A phosphate buffer ...

However, if metal salts are less soluble in the solution than in water, that just means the corrosion products will en...

I'm very sceptical about that "Fluid XP" stuff, especially since finding some details (on the manufacturer's site, I think it was) and learning that it's mostly water.

All sound measurements at overclockers.com are taken at 8", so it's consistent and easy and not too affected by background noise. Not unreasonable at all. As for the block, I don't know what it's like but here is the inside of a slightly cheaper block from the same company: http://www.1a-cooling.de/...

Looks smart. Suggestions: 1. Extend the tubes downwards almost to the bottom of the fins. 2. Extend the tubes upwards as high as possible (perhaps to a foot below the ceiling) and you might find you no longer need fans. If you do this, it would also help to make the tubes wider in the section above ...

Are you including any "blower" or "water wheel" style fans? They can be used in small spaces where otherwise a 60mm or smaller fan would be needed, and I think they usually have higher pressure than axial fans (good for radiators). Some of them have impressive specifications from the manufacturer, e...
