    I hate to see one of those cardboard cases go water cooled and develop a leak. Hey maybe it's a great idea after all, if you start leaking your parts automatically eject!

    A PC I knocked up to fit into an arcade machine I was building, it had limited space down the side of the screen so I had to hack an old case to bits.

    My roomate bought a HP that is overheating big time,He first has this desk fan blowing on his computer as if it was a Car on a dyno w/ its hood open. That got old, so he took my old XPS_720 fans (120mm and 80mm) and duck taped them into the front of his computer, and has them running at 100%. These fans move alot of air, and at 100% in a tiny case like his, there are literally hurricane force winds in the inside of his computer. there is no airflow at all through the front so there is a huge vacum force generated at the front of the computer. It sounds like a 747 is taking off when he turns on his computer.

    Starting from the practical stuff... To get HDD's more silent


    Tried just for curiosity, got about 4-6 degrees off from NB temp. Notice the matching colors!

    Action:


    Then to the cooler part... Palit has the 3 slot version of 4870x2... but I have a 4 slot version of 4850

    I'll flip that cover so the wire will go from behind... just for looks


    You can see the grey wire going behind the thumb screws. In the end of that lead, is a BIOS clearing switch. No way in hell the jumper can be accessed anymore!

    And you can see the southbridge cooler, a Zalman northbridge heatsink... I did have a fan on it but that is just useless. Maybe I could hook it up.

    Now all my fan controller channels are in use. Rear exhaust, top exhaust, 2x front intake, PWM fan, GPU fan... I admit it. I am a control freak!

    Needed some cooling on my v-regs. Salvaged the heatsync from an old Asus P5N32 590 board and used a glue + AS5 to attach. Very strong (not permanent) and cooled very well. Purchased the Swiftech syncs and use them now but I dont think they work as well as these did .
