Old School Cooling

[Wil1948]

I remember my first computer operating job. Working in the tape library at the Johnson Space Center in Houston Texas. The machine room had 3 machines in it Univac's and 1 IBM360. All setting on an elevated floor for cooling. Machines at that time were mostly cooled from the floor air conditioning. I worked in the computer facility being promoted several times do to other people leaving the job. Later on I worked in the avionics lab, the computers I was testing where the shuttle onboard GPC, all 5 of them.
At this time I would like to say that I hope the moderators do not mined that I post my thoughts on Intel Processor cooling. With that being said, have you see the new Thermaltake Xpressar, very nice but the price. For point of processor cooling this has to be the best. Even then room temp still plays a factor. Humidity must be controlled, so whats good for the processor is also good for you to set in and process.
I have worked with these simple rules for years and have found that with common since, you can cool your processor and overclock till your heart desires. Set your alarm settings, your room temp and humidity and off you go. Although there are other things you can do on the inside of your machine to help.
You dont need harddrive ,video card and power supply heat to help heat your processor. Think about it. Simple ducting can help alot. Non conducting ducting. Other rules also apply, like an ES or unlocked CPU , a full tower or server case.
Later when I continue I will show you what I have done. Iam working on slient CFM, think about pulling air not pushing.

I'm afraid you'll forgive me if I don't understand the physics diffrence between pulling and pushing air. To pull air from somewhere you have to push it somewhere. Newtons first law.

Are you saying it's more efficent to have the fan pull air through the heat sync rather than have the fan blow (push) it through?

dont know about air cooling but with water cooling pulling is quiter and gets better temps becuase if you push you have a big huge dead spot on the fan rotor, pulling helps this a bit

Wow, that was a massive tangent from what you started the post at!

I think you should try and use paragraphs more to break up what you are saying so it's easier to read and comprehend.

But you are welcome to share your thoughts on whatever you want (within acceptable reason), so you don't need to worry about mods having a problem with what you want to share.

This is the peltier Iam using. http://www.virtualvillage.com/Items/001 ... er%20Plate

It has a cap of 400Watts. Cost 19.99
Controlling the peltier was done with a fan controller. You have to off load your watt draw. Or use a Rheostat. Like a dimmer switch. Remember I said old school.

This and the V8 Iam using. http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product ... ct_id=2869

Together I never have a heat problem when overclocking. The heatsink fan takes heat from the heatsink, Not pushing the air down and out the sides, heating your motherboard. The V8 draws the heat up and out the radiators. So If you have a side panel fan that pulls air out of your case. You will be able to exhaust all of you CPU heat.

Also you can put a peltier near the bottom of your motherboard, using the case as a heatsink. Mounting is easy. Using a round foam cone ring for the space between the motherboad and the peltier.

Remember 68 is a good room temp, and 45% RH. If your like me you like your room temp at 65, thats even better.

So for $40.00 plus shipping you can overclock with your stock fan or a fan upgrade. WOW I could of had a V8.

good luck finding a fan controller that can handle 400 watts
