CPU cooling experiment

[Sabbathian]

Hello there !

My CPU vent died two days ago.... and I was furious..... so I decieded to
build something I had in my had for some time, and it is this :

"Air tunnel" that directs cold air from 80mm vents on the back of the case
straight to copper CPU heatsink. I used DragonOrbs copper base as the
heatsink and two 80mm vents for cooling. One of them is very quiet
Papst (12dB), and second is much louder and stronger Titan. Papst is
connected onto MoBo, and Titan is connected with molex and has his own
switch on the back of the case.

What did I get with this ? Silence........

Nice work. Does it work well cooling or just for quiet?

Pic 4 explains alot... maybe too much

at idle, cpu is at 42-43°C, and when working alot.... max is 54°C. And that are values when only Papst works, with Titan on, they are about 10° lower.....

I am satisfied with it

I forgot, it is Athlon 1700@1900
