I have a Antec TPQ-850W power supply that I removed the 80mm exhaust and changed it to a 120mm front intake. I haven't actually tested this out yet (just bought a new case and sold my old one). I was surfing the net and found this: http://www.silentmods.com/section2/item287/part1
this seems pretty promising. So I was thinking around and got this idea:
Materials:
source of heatpipes: Zalman HDD heatpipes: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInf ... ctID=11699
radiators: Arctic cooling accelero and one/two 1U - 3U CPU coolers.
top of PSU:
I can put the Accelero on the bottom heatsink or link the two heatsinks with a piece of aluminum and put the accelero so it takes heat in from both heatsinks
back of PSU: (sorry about quality)
Add three heat pipes, one to the left box, and two to the right box (left and right of that sink. and put the 1U -3U CPU cooler on it coming out of the PSU.
suggestions? impressions?
). 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 linking heatsinks: if one of them is live while the other grounded (quite a common situation), you have a good chance of frying your power supply.
