When I’m running computer intensive tasks, I want the fans to cool my processor. When I’m not, I want the fans to be quiet. While I could use a manual rheostat to control the fans, I want to learn more about HVAC and control systems. So, I want to make a fan controller that senses...
Summary
Im trying to see how cool I can get my PC using air cooling. The ideal configuration so far has been replacing the stock heat sink with a Hyper 212 and using the rear case fan only. I am in the process of testing a duct idea. I am considering ways to cool the air before it enters...
There is a lot of speculation as to what the voltage threshold is, beyond which, you are seriously diminishing the life of your CPU.
One method I was thinking about was looking for trends in failure data for the 32 nm Nehalem chips and trying to extrapolate to how the Sandy Bridge...
One thing I have been curious about is how voltage, temperature, and clock interact as well as the impact of each on chip longevity. This my understanding based on some googling.
Is this accurate? I would also appreciate it if you would fill in the rates where I leave them ambiguous (e.g., I...

I will be playing FPS's. I am particularly interested in l4d2, mw2, and me2.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$1000 excluding tax and shipping...
