Cable routing...

I really hope you didn't do that, the E5300 is slower and no cooler than an E6750..Wilhelm-Tell wrote:I think so too, but I will replace it with a E5300, 45nm, should run cooler and faster, at a fair price aswell.danimal wrote:prime95 at 55 degrees at 2ghz, with no fan on the cpu, sounds very functional to me.

No I didn't. Back then I had the Celeron E1200, now replaced by a second hand E6750 (for less than a new E5500)Monkeh16 wrote:I really hope you didn't do that, the E5300 is slower and no cooler than an E6750..Wilhelm-Tell wrote:I think so too, but I will replace it with a E5300, 45nm, should run cooler and faster, at a fair price aswell.danimal wrote:prime95 at 55 degrees at 2ghz, with no fan on the cpu, sounds very functional to me.

That thing looks like it's been stolen out of my G5!

I must say the E6750 runs pretty cool (for an old 65nm chip).
I only have the 20cm top fan connected in low mode too.
My old E1200 was much hotter.

I wish my G5 didn't have an X800 in it. I'd be able to use it with something else. Oh well, price of a Xenon devkit.Wilhelm-Tell wrote:Sure, it's pretty big. Actually had a G5 once myself, great machine.

The Celeron would've been hotter, they lack proper power saving features.

Liking you build very simple, low tdp cpu, big heat sink and a massive slow fan, best way to make a silent pc imo.
I have always had a soft spot for that case, but i got in to water cooling before I got in to silent pcs, so my desktop has a bigger case with a massive radiator, If i was doing a new build for basic desktop use i would definitely consider this case.
Do you hear any noise from the Hard Drive? and have you considered replacing it with an ssd?

Thanks!
Can't say I hear the HD much, it's pretty well damped. The silicon mounts really works better that I thought. Just some faint whining up close.
SSD is great, but not for me yet, I need space. But in the future, definitely...
I will be replacing my Sapphire Radeon HD3870 512MB with a Gigabyte Radeon HD6850 OC 1GB, and if possible reuse the Accelero S1 Rev. 2. The HD3870 has worked great all passive with temps from 37°C (idle) to 70°C (load). From what I have read they both consume about the same power. I'll just have to try and see.

Some pics. It installed very easy. No problems. I even reused some of the thermal compound that was left from the original 6850-sink.
Idle temp up from 37°C (Old HD 3870) Right now I'm reading 41°C. With exactly the same air-flow, fan-speed and cooler (of course...)

Nice work, 80 is perhaps a bit toasty but another fan in the back would lover the temps a bit perhaps?

Sadly I can't fit another fan, the Orochi takes up to much room. I only got 10mm to play with, most fans are 25mm thick.

Re: Antec Mini P180 w/ Passive-Cooled HD6850
You could possibly install the fan on the outside of the case? The power cable could go though one of the water-cooling tube grommets.
Re: Antec Mini P180 w/ Passive-Cooled HD6850
looking at the orochi in the case i'd say a back panel fan would be pretty restricted in its airflow. not optimal at all. if anything i might say grab one of those new thermalright or noctua 140mm fans and slap it on the orochi.

Re: Antec Mini P180 w/ Passive-Cooled HD6850
Great idea. I mounted the supplied 140mm Orochi-fan. It runs at 400-500 rpm, not much, but still better than nothing.
