Of own heatsink , I have not purchased separately

[ehume]

Recent purchase? Or old timer?

I ask because when I bought two pairs of 38mm Megahalems clips, one pair was conventional (flat, mounting over the top and under the bottom) and one pair was sidewinder like yours. The extra 25mm clips I bought were both flat. I like the look of your sidewinders.

Ah. So we will expect no more, then. Guard yours. They are now precious items.

I still have a Venomous X, one of the few that offer great performance with a quieter fan. With my fan (single Delta EFB1212LE), it's only 2-3c higher at 50% than full speed.

The speakers aren't! Some nice black Pioneer bookshelves can go there with a black Pyle amp

Testing San Ace H4011 for CPU cooler. Pitch and RPM are higher than trusty Delta AFB1212LE and temperatures are about the same. Delta was put on as top exhaust fan. Probably switch them back later, the San Ace works better as a case fan at low RPM, Delta has a choppier sound.

Those San Ace Silents are sweet. The Medium speed models are nicer IMO (-M401, -M4011). Might I recommend you take an ED500 Data Vac (it's actually a blower) and dust off that heatsink? ;-)

Most of what you see on heatsink is just stuck to the fins, I blow it out regularly. I think it needs to be brushed off. I did change back to the 38mm thick Delta, the noise is much smoother and it has more static pressure. Without direct venting, the chopping noise isn't heard. San Ace fans are just great as case fans, you can easily run them at 5v and still get plenty of airflow.

Cleaned the Venomous X today with a cheap toothbrush, what a difference. I think it shaved 2-4c off my load temperature.

I had to buy a new PSU as my old Tagan BZ-1100 died, and decided to take new pictures. With the new cables being much thinner I was able to install an extra fan into my ancient Antec P182. Please excuse the crappy phone camera:






Its too empty in there though, I really want to add one of these, but dont need to go SLI just yet:




Also my idle CPU temps are awesome for an air cooler:

[sandslash]

Just regged to this site, and scrolling through a few pages I feel like such a casual with my inaudible i5 3570K build and unpretty sleeving. I'll post pictures once I get my pretty Gainward GTX 580 Phantom in the mail. Awesome stuff right here! :3

Such a nice bench, where do you get them?

Lian Li Pitstop T60 ...cute little thing, I have a weakness for black anodized aluminum Lian Li.
This project has a long history and previously looked like this:

Finally we have reached the penultimate update of the silent Lian Li! I got my Arctic Cooling S1 Plus heatsink at last and installed it a few nights ago. I thought their G1 thermal adhesive was going to be hard to work with as after I applied pressure and let go, the VRM sinks slid around, but luckily after curing for a few hours they didn't fall off and I was able to mount the actual VGA sink. First off, it's BIG, but not ginormously so, thus most cases will be able to swallow it. Secondly you really do have to check the heights of any capacitors on the board itself, as it JUST clears the tops of the capacitors on my MSI 7770:





View from the front intakes, relatively unimpeded, straight to the two passive sinks. I may build a duct for the bottom fan to channel air directly to the GPU and out the exhaust, but temps look fine at the moment, we'll see.



I used MSI's Kombustor to stress the GPU for an hour, and as you can see the max temps reported by Afterburner (and Hardware Monitor) was around 75C (it plateaued there and wouldn't go higher, and in fact started to drop).



View from bottom intake.



View from top intake.













I had some braided wire left over from suspending my Ninja and used it to brace the GPU sink as well. Instead of drooping down, it hangs perfectly parallel.







Close!
