Old School Cooling
Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2009 3:54 pm
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.
