How to turn an everyday PC into a BBQ, although almost completely silent? This is how I did it:
Take this case:
take out / turn off all the case fans
add this PSU:
take a P3-700, OC it to 966 MHz
add this heatsink:
add this fan to that heatsink, and run it at lowest speed with fanmate which comes with the CPU HSF kit:
Add this video card:
replace the HSF on the videocard with this one:
take this HDD:
put it in this HDD suspension:
add this noise-insulation kit (btw. NO audible difference, thus completly useless to me):
- Price of all components:
a few kidneys (who needs them anyway?) and a liver (alcohol makes it worthless for your body if I don't sell it)
- Start up CPUburn and watching the CPU temp climb to 71 degrees C, causing a BSOD:
priceless
So.....
I need to add some exhaust fan, since my HDD, Videocard and CPU turn into gourmet equipment right now if I stress the PC a lot.
I'll add a 8cm Zalman fan at 5v to the back soon, and see what happens to the temps
Edit: some pictures of the PC in action:
