spring cleaning
hey it is a complete year number 2. Had the cover off after a 16 foot snowfalling record breaking winter (loving the spring time power surges right now). figured I would get it back to spotless and I modified the duct work base to cpu to be all aluminum instead of the plastic base (redundant piece, ...

update Nov 19, 2007
Lo and behold I racked up 19241 hours on the hard drive. speed fan still claims well below max temps and fitness is 90%. the temp average was 31 C. (87 degrees F). Claims 708 stop/starts, and it coincides with a few several day runs I let it have.I found several errors software related as I lazilly ...

Zalman with 56 ohm resistor
I couldn't find a review in search so I'll list my year with it and comparisons to other silent attempts. I have learned towers gain an atmosphere and rather than go geek in what I still can't put into words, this fan was tested as the front fan below the hard drive in my slk2600amb antec. The total...

Your setup will work. :o I have a 2.8e HT 1mb cache frying all day long with a nexus 80mm silent fan with max rpm 1600 on the xp90 I am using duct work and custom plate of aluminum on top of the heatsink with the fan at the back of the pc sucking out. To be normal, yours will work. I only have one f...

160*F as a load temperature of a Pentium 4 is fine. I agree. Been close to that as a max for a year. 160 was my personal line drawn. after replacing the 1700 rpm for the 2400 and re-encoding again. I have proven to myself it really needs it. The silenX fan in first post link is what I am pursuing n...

Quiet 2400 rpm fan?
This is my yearly pursuit for an answer. I have in another thread my antec 2600 and cooled by just 3 fans.. the fastest was 1800 rpm (psu) with an xp90 on my hot tamale 2.8e ht cpu. All was well until I re-encoded a movie for the web recently. Originally was 1080p High Definition (3 minutes long 235...

Another update... It is going on a year, I humored to take the cover off to check on things in September. Still running , dare I say, Perfect (my best ever since I began in 98) The box as stubborn as an antec is, is helping things along as a better heatsink than where it began. The cpu fan is down t...

I read 2.5 pages of threads and.... I don't quite understand. :? The goal worked for materials given. That is all that mattered. the numbers would be different, if there is no actual CFM of air flow. To make them up like the builder did was ridiculous however. Big heatsink - little fan. Decent natur...

Case After 7 months (photo)
I thought to take cover off for fall cleaning- been 7 months. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7490/case7mozv8.jpg photo is 7 months untouched- just cover taken off. It has been running every day, sometimes for several days. Temps/volts are great. All I did was blow dust off of outside of case and c...

the ductwork is excellent if you tune it in like you are doing with heatsink. The best luck I have had yet. Good luck on your setup, I bet it goes well. check out my thread here it is same ideas.

6 month update
Still going silently since my first post of mar1 2006. I haven't had to clean dust out yet for the first 6 months so far- it is still quite clean! I have not had to reinstall or had overheats. The loudest thing in my office is me smacking the keyboard with my fingers. I have to check the power light...

still going great
My area to live is in warm spring now, and outside lines for power are ragin again... Found my old post , the custom cooling is working great. The volts for everything have become precise, the CPU thermistor is giving a false reading, so, by the back of my hand and knowing the pc, it is trusted. Thi...

Again, I ran into 135-140F CPU temp (nasa worldWind for 30 minutes+). So here is cure if anyone is interested (what a precise chore this has become!!): the cpu was a coolermaster ultra silent @1400rpm (regulated 300 important rpm). Now upgraded CPU fan to a nexus silent @ 1500 rpm (regulates the sam...

"Woops" Warning!
Upon a strange event with temperatures and no volt regulation, I went back to core cell software this board utilizes. It is a good thing I did! (Even tho the overclock options aren't for me) Speed Fan now uninstalled. Volt regulation immediately took place, a very slow curve barely hits 120F cpu ful...

The Temps
Certainly: Upon testing (the 2.8e is tricky due to the 2 cores) The highest temperature reached for cpu was 132 F(never went to that again yet, 127 to 123 seems to be gaming temp, I could assume it was the initial burn-in). The same attempt with copper cool heatsink by Intel ,was impossible (started...

VRM overheats?
I saw warning on this site's home page (or close to it). Did this heatsink propose a problem with this? I am certain volts dropped on mobos that have this type of heat regulation. I would love the passive heatsink until i heard of the capacitor overheat possibility. I am currently using duct work an...
