This is currently how i cool my xbox 360 (not joke), the stock fans stopped working. Xbox currently has no fans plugged in at all, just this big window fan blowing on it, it works better than the origonal fan ever did!

i'm pretty sure that little heatsink does it job with decent airflow.

Have a look at my 4850... It actually works pretty well, the VRMs are surely quite comfortable with all that cooling, and the're happily giving the GPU 1.35v which are good for 800/1150. With 1.38v it goes up to 830/1150 stable.. Enjoy! Card was bought nearly a month after it got released.. Still going strong with those volts.

Temps during summer with the fan at 12v:
Idle: 38-40°
Load: 55-60°

During winter, 12v:
Idle: 28-30°
Load: 48-52° IIRC

Furmark usually loads at about 5° higher.. Ghetto, but I found a good use for the stock C2D fan with copper core, a NB HS from a pentium II board and an old K6-2 HS XD

My wireless G USB dongle. Came from my P5K-E wifi edition. Overvolted from 3.3V to 5V, with an additional heatsink with MX-2 thermal compound

The use of overvolting a Wireless card? Better transieve power?

I doubt it. The reason for the overvoltage is that I didn't have/want to add a thingy that would change voltage from 5V to 3.3V. The heatsink works well cooling the Realtek chip

Does yours connect directly to the motherboard? Why not USB?

Yep directly, don't have any USB on back io free :D

Endurance and lifetime of massively overvolted (1.7V more!) chip will decrease A LOT (few ten times less, i think)

I used to recover an old notebook HDD which was from a lawyer. She was about to go down with a company that charged her over 1500 euro's for a usual data recovery.

With just a wine-cooler and big ass icecubes from my parents wonderfull fridge, i managed to recover the HDD perfectly.

Made 200 euro's out of 2 hours of work. (For those not knowing why freezing a HDD works often, it actually works often!) Sealed and connected with a USB controller.

i did this on my company's HDD that had 7 years of data ,it worked fine with dry ice as well :up:

I was glad the disk made it using normal ice. Dry ice should be wayyyy better for any HDD.
