Bespoke tailored heatsinks! Well, that's just amazing...

Well, it can get pretty hot in cars in the summer, some say as high as 200F. There was a news story a few weeks ago about someone who bakes cookies on the dashboard of their car. She was quoted as saying that when her husband called her one time to ask her to do some errands, she had to tell him she was baking cookies and couldn't do it right then. She even cooks them at work and passes them around to her co-workers. She says she kind of enjoys having a fresh baked cookie smell in her car.StealthGirl wrote:This is the biggest issue encountered in using passive cooling inside a box ... any box ... you have to keep air moving through it or it will become an oven. (I'll always remember my childhood amazment at my EasyBake oven, heated only by a flashlite bulb!)

Assuming you HAVE a case fan. I don't, I'd have to add one. My current setup is just using 2 fans. A Zalman over the CPU at minimum RPM, and the fan inside the Zalman 300B PSU.StealthGirl wrote:Vincent, since the heatsink Wing assembly sits in front of the rear case fan
That's kind of dark to put in this thread. Anyway, cookies! In your car! How awesome is that!?jmke wrote:I read a horror story of a woman who forgot her baby in the car...Shadowknight wrote:

sweet.Did it work? Yes, the memory got chilly! Did it help with overclocking the memory, sadly, not at all
Have you ever touched your ram? It's cool, in the worst case, only a little warm. There is absolutely no need in cooling. In fact, some of the heatsinks make it worse because they transfer heat from the core to the memory.... Old DDR memory in older package, the same kind that is still used in system memory did get very hot, sometimes almost burning to the touch, but GDDR2/3 stays very cool all the time.cmthomson wrote:Holy cow!

I stand corrected: overclocking the DRAMs is dependent on the GPU cooling, not the DRAM cooling.
Who woulda thunk it? RAMsinks a marketing gimmick? And me having bought not just any old RAMsinks, but the most expensive, most efficient ones? Well, at least I can stick them on my MOSFETs...
we're not talking large numbers here, rather the effect of placing a hot heatsink in an area used for CPU cooling, it will have an effect, but not a large one as you can see.NeilBlanchard wrote:Greetings,
A quick comment on the Mad Shrimps review: he mentions that the use of the passive HS didn't seem to increase the temps on anything else. How could it? .
