Yeah, in general only Alpha heatsinks perform better by having the fan sucking air off the heatsink. Apparently its due to the flange around the top of the HS.

They possibly meant feel the heat of the HS itself rather than the air being blown by the fan.

Time to start saving for that LCD flatscreen then

My CRT buzzes too, its very annoying - mines an ADI.

Mines running fine on a 300W Q-Tech too:

1.8 @ 2.4 - 1.55V
2x256 Samsung DDR
40Gb Cuda IV
Live Plat.
4 papsts at 5 or 7V
geforce 256 DDR (sans fan too)
CDRW

It'll be fine, my voltages are all about 10% over as well.

Hi Jolt, i was just looking round and i saw a link for papst fans if you live in sweden - have you tried here: http://www.elfa.se/se/ ? Not panaflo i know, but maybe you could try papst?

Ive been thinking about sound deadening/proofing materials for a while now, and i think ive come up with a good cheap solution which should work really well. Being into car audio too, ive got some sound deadening in my car already. Instead of expensive smelly dynamat i found out on a car audio forum...

What about using a copper shim for the bit that goes around the core? They're only about £3 and would be absolutely perfect for this.

Yeah, tell me about it! I cant believe you can get panaflos for 3$, panaflos are about £12 and papst about £15 in the UK.

Hi there. You know, the suggestion from SlowMo is not a half-baked idea. Why not get one of those Koolatron solid-state coolers, rip apart the Koolatron for the solid-state Peltier cell and fan (or use a better panaflo), use the Koolatron PSU to drive the solid-state Peltier cell (and fan) and buil...

Anyone seen this yet?
