prathapml Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Lets have a measure of what cooling systems are in use on the forum!Also post your temperatures! Vote in the poll!I simply use the stock heatsink/fan combo for the processor.Plus I have a standard fan at the bottom-front of my cabinet to draw cool air inwards & circulate it over the hard-disk, & a fan at the top-rear of the cabinet to expel out hot-air.My temperatures (all in Celsius degrees):MoBo - 29Processor - 32Hard-Disk - 28Whats your stats?As for temperatures (and to find out a lot more about your PC), you can use this app:Everest - Features | download | screenshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 (edited) idle/loadmobo-36/43cpu-27/36 (its prolly off b/c dfi doesnt support opterons)hdd-32/34gfx-34/58chipset-39/42i have a pretty sweet air setupi have the antec p180 case with 3 panaflos in iti also have the scythe ninka heatsinkas you can see from the pics, the air comes in from the right, through the heatsink, and out of the back. i have soo much air coming out of the back of this case, it cools like crazy.big imagebig image Edited December 20, 2005 by ripken204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfm Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 (edited) Looks great ripkenRight now:CPU at 2.80Ghz 1.68volts B) 26C idle and 37C full loadAt stock speeds 1.8Ghz + 1.36volts 23C idle and 26C loadIHS is off, cpu's core lapped + heatsink lappedMobo 28C idle, ~38C when running PrimeHdd 38C, too much. Normally 28C in a case cooled by 2x80mm fans in frontHere's mine:^^ There's a 151cfm 120mm fan on Big Typhoon, somehow loud It's not anymore in a case because I'm waiting to put this baby under DryIce, my container hopefullly will be ready this weekend, made from aluminium 10" tall and 3" wide. DryIce has ~-79.5'C Temp. Hopefully my Opteron 146 comes from RMA soon, if not, then I'll have to torture poor Venice Edited December 16, 2005 by Kamil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Nice pics, guys. I might rearrange things in my case...Inside My CaseIs there any disadvantage to placing a harddrive sideways inside a case?Cooling System? The case itself and a stock heatsink which I will upgrade to a Zalman sometime in the future. Don't know about watercooling...

LLXX Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have a lot of air cooling.2x 80mm rear case fans2x PSU fan2x 80mm front intake fans2x 80mm HDD fan (one for each HDD)1x 60mm fan on the GPU2x 120mm fans on CPU----------------------------11 fans total.The heatsink of the CPU was made from scrap aluminum heatsink material cut to fit. It covers the entire top half of the mobo. The two fans are mounted side-by-side and take up most of the space on the heatsink. It looks sort of like the dual-fan LeadTek video cards.CPU is P4 3.6HT overclocked to 4.17GHz. Runs at ~25°C idle and ~40°C full load.Don't know about the GPU temp or the HDD temp but both feel cold to the touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Using a XP120 with an Akasa amber,Processor idle: 28 degrees load: 45 with prime, S&M and PI running.Chipset: 44 degrees, load goes up to about 50/55Cant read drives as they are in a array, unless I were to use an actual thermonitor.Also since that picture, also have a Zalman VF700-cu installed - fantastic product and very efficient. Old GPU temp was 53 degrees idle, and it dropped to 36. Load never goes over 65 with a warm ambient temp due to central heating being on.Lian-Li PC7SE, two 120mm fans, front intake and rear exhaust.

Tomcat76 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) I voted "other". I got additional fans but they aren't all running at full speed.Fan controller: Zalman ZM-MFC1CPU fan: Zalman CNPS7000B-CuFront case fans: 2x SilenX SX-080-14T (8cm)Back case fan: Antec Pro (12cm)MB chipset fan: default on MSI K8N SLI Platinum (DFI quality)GPU fan: Zalman VF700-AlCu on 5V resistor (not controlled)Athlon64 X2 4200+ @2375Mhz (250x9.5); HT 1000Mhz (4x250); MEM FSB 208.The CPU fan is spinning at 1900rpm and the MB fan is tamed down slightly to 4000rpm. The back case fan is controlled as well; it's inaudible when sitting in front of the computer but I don't know the actual speed of it. The two SilenX's (cooling 5 hard drives) are given maximum power (whatever "maximum" means for the Zalman controller).Current CPU temp (normal use): 27°CCurrent MB temp (normal use): 24°C Edited December 23, 2005 by Tomcat76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
