Soo I was bored and it was a bit breezy outside soo I decided to do this... enjoy.
uhm this da basic airflow:
exhaust:
several fans strapped using gardening ties, lol:
Here are my temps @ 3.5GHz:
After that point I was still not satisfied sooo I went back to placing moar fans...
^ extra intake
borrowed the fan my mum was using to dry her laundry to get extra ventilation
aand i thought id place a cold drink nearby
at this point i was able to reach 4GHz on all 3 cores at around 37C - 39C: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=744793
I know I could've pushed further but somehow my motherboard wouldn't let me get past 4GHz I currently have an M3A78-CM motherboard and I might try this extreme air cooling project again (with moar fans) once i get a new motherboard with a proper chipset, possibly the MSI 790FX-GD70 board.
Thanks for looking!
PS: For those interested in knowing how extremely loud it was while I did this session: [link]
