I riced out my PC yesterday..

[JeffM]

I needed to add another case fan to lower the temps just a bit.. I got a 120mm case fan that flows like 65CFM. While I was at it, I got a green neon light, and a piece of plexiglass. I was dremeling it all ###### day, and finally got it.. Looks pretty hot, better in person though! It looks a little dirty in the pics.

The top two pics are how it looked this morning, the bottom three are it now.





Anyways, I manged to lower my temp 5°c or so, which is good.

My system specs if anyone cares:

P4 2.4ghz overclocked to 3.2ghz
Asus P4PE motherboard
512mb PC2700
ATI 9600XT 128mb vid card
CD/R
DVD/R
100gb HD

That's great. I went to Micro Center looking for RD ram the other day and they had a boat load of cases with neon lights and plexigalss covers. My daughter wanted one but the case with PS was $200. Wow! That's a set of sub frame connectors.

Is the fan blowing in our out?

The power supply blows out. Additional fans should blow in so they arent fighting eachother.

[JeffM]

The 120mm side case fan blows air inside the case. I also have a front fan blowing air in, and a rear fan blowing air out. So, two in, one out, and one of the ones in is huge.

I am thinking of making the front fan blow out also, and just the big side one going in.. Or maybe just get another exhaust fan in the back. Not sure..

lol - You need to seek professional help! I think winter is taking it's toll on the need for mods. Looks cool though. I wonder if I would get into trouble for hacking my computer apart at work?

[TruckMuddr]

No, these people need to seek some help.





Water and electric shouldn't be together. I don't care how good it cools. it has antifreeze in it so it doesn't freeze, which I heard it will get that cold.

[JeffM]

ya know, liquid cooling is my next step if I can't get the temps down a lot with air.. Though, I heard you need a really really REALLY good liquid kit ($$$$) to get the temp down really low. I hear a good aircooling kit is just as good and less expensive.

We'll see. ..

Ok, so you worked on it all day and spent some $$s on appearance mods and in the end it was 5° cooler. Yes, I'd say it's a typical ricer type mod ...

Do you have any filters on it to prevent the dust and whatever else to go in?

[JeffM]

haha, 5°c = ~11°F!

That's some more MHZ baby!

hahaa

Black97 - yeah, dust filters on each intake fan. You can see it a bit in the bottom pic on that huge fan.

Evidently I'm not the only Computer Geek here.

NERDS!!!!!!!!

Anyone got a liquid nitrogen filled processor cooler?

Hey if you could succeed in getting your processor and mainboard down to absolute zero (-460 F) you might come close to the UCSD supercomputer at 1.7 THz (1.7 trillion instructions per second)!
