I am trying to get a fanless setup for an Athlon T-Bred B and was wondering what voltage and MHz I can safely run without worry about crashes and destruction of my cpu?

Thanks!

I guess you have to test it yourself. Systems vary from each other too much for anyone to give you a conclusive answer to this.

Get a Zalman Flower like This

Says it'll do up to 2600+ Tbred. Only testing and studying your temps will tell, too many factors to just guess it on a forum.

This guy wanted to make a Home Theater system that was as quiet as possible. He ran into a few problems but should work.

You might want to find the quietest Papst fan and 7V or even 5V it if it will start @ 5V. A little airflow will go a long way.

you would have to have some sord of fan i would think
unless you go down to like 500mhz and if you'r mobo will let you go down to less then 1v or so

at that point maybe just get a via?

SLK800 + 18cfm/18dba NMB 80mm fan. I guarantee you the hard drives will be louder, and you probably wouldn't have to underclock :)

Very true... even the quietest hard drives aren't as quiet as the quietest fans.

*EDIT* You could try a hard drive for a laptop... they're probably the quietest, coolest drives you can find short of going solid state.

Well, in the end the only reason this thing has a hard drive is to boot the OS. I plan to use it for streaming TiVo files off my TiVo with a modified version of mplayer
