2 Machine Fans
Well, when you overclock alot, you need alot of cooling. Conventional fans just didn't do it for me so I decided that I was going to switch over to machine shop fans =] These are straight out of a machine shop. I bought them on eBay for about 4 dollars each. I installed a rehostat from a dead Dremel I had lieing around and now I can control the speed. At full speed they alost hover so I keep them at a quiet yet very effective speed. They are zip tied to some holes in my case. Here's some pictures:

Are you sure you have those fans facing the right direction? Looks like they're blowing towards the front of the case.

Can't say I havn't though about it. I'm only 16 and money is really tight for me. When I see a bargain, like massive fans =], I kind of spontaniously buy them. Then I have tons of cooling devices hangin around and I put them to good use in my case. If I did go water cooling I would go with Thermaltake, but then everyone tells me that they're WC stuff is junk. Anything else is a little bit too pricey soooooooooo. Thus my massive fans =P
And no both fans are blowing to the back of my case. Tom =] Last edited by kamikazi_tom; 07-27-2007 at 11:51 AM. |

Sweet fans tom! If I were you though, I'd spend the day getting those cables arranged. Good fans are worthless if the air just hits a wall of wiring.

But I agree with the others...you should do something about those wires, they're really impeding airflow through the case. Cricket

I love this thread.
Tis by far my favorite...I was just wondering, would it be possible to mount a radiator type thing in a case? Like have a frame with water running down it and then fans pulling air through it to cool the air down or would that be too risky? |

Radiators work the opposite way from that -- the air cools the water going through. And there are similar water-cooling systems available for PCs.

Looks nice! I've always had a soft spot for the alien eyes when done right. Of course, no video or picture does justice, but I bet it looks rockin'.

I thought there was a thread on "show the insides" of your computer, but couldn't find it. No modding here... I just popped in a new PS in my system and figured I'd post a pic of my box's guts. I was going to make it neater, but with all the adapters I had to install, I said heck with it (I need, for example, 3 floppy style power connectors and the new PS had only one.)

Well here is my latest setup... I should say watercooling setup with my old pc next to it. http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e220/spearball/ As you can see the tubing with the swiftech hydrx doesnt glow that much because i only used about 1/3 of the bottle. Some people have their tubing glowing so much cause they put a ton of UV dye but i don't have a hold of any right now and too much hydrx clogged my radiator when i first set it up. Because of that i added the blue/UV smart coils so my tubes are visible. I'd appreciate any suggestion on how i can improve. The radiators were too big for the case with everything in it so i was forced to put them outside. SETUP: Athlon FX 60 3.0 GHZ Overclocked. CPU temp idle: 28-30 Load: 37-40 (Yea seems wired temps go up and down sometimes i get even lower than 28 on idle. OCZ 4GB ram DDR400 Motherboard:A8n32 sli deluxe from asus Video card: Dual Geforce 8800GTS 512Mb in SLI Sound: Soundblaster fatal1ty HDD: Seagate 500GB 7200.11 32mb cache, Western digital 250 gb Power Supply: PC & Power cooling 750 WATT Quad Thermaltake armor case Water cooling setup: APOGEE cpu block, swiftech dual 120 mm radiator/and Hardware Labs Blackice GTX extreme 240, 1/2 inch tubing, smart coils, Swiftech pump MCP655, Swiftech high flow reservoir.

Welll, I thought I'd join the bandwagon. I took these pics last night, and I think they are worthy enough to post.
pic 1 with flash, for internals, pic 2 without, at night. I've done several things to this case, and not one original fan remains. Changed the back 80mm exaust into a 120mm, added 2 80mm's in the front. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...n23/PCCase.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...23/PCCase2.jpg |
