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!
