My Case, the pictures speak for themselves...

Matt555 · 12-07-2005, 09:15 PM

my case has dropped like 15*C in total since i have done a few mondifications to it, new hdd cooler, 2 coolermaster case fans, new ezcool case, new artic freezer 4 cpu cooler, new alaska northbridge cooler (nb tems arent any lower bt damn is the fan quieter!) cpu idles at about 30-33*C but has dropped as low as 26*C!!! dont play games so it never really maxes out, highest it has been for a long time is like 42*C

zRoCkIsAdDiCtInG · 12-07-2005, 09:33 PM

haha nice man

wow 26? mine starts at 29 and keeps climbing until 37 where it idles haha

but then again, not that bad, since it loads at the same temps

Matt555 · 12-07-2005, 09:35 PM

dude check out the pictures http://www.hardwareforums.com/showth...?t=6119&page=4 (this thread) i like the new cooler, as enormous as it may be its gr8, and was cheap

zRoCkIsAdDiCtInG · 12-07-2005, 09:41 PM

arctic cooling huh? ex is gonna love you, how much was it?

Matt555 · 12-07-2005, 09:44 PM

£15.22 gr8 value, i am thinking of adding 2 controllers on the front, the coolermaster musketeer (silver with blue dials - i like the idea of the fan control AND the sound card output) and maybe the Vantec Nexus NXP-205-SL Multi Fan Controller - Silver that would mean more controll over more fans and a reading of my soundcard (which would be nice as its quite good, not amazing but quite good)
As you can see, i like silver and blue, i think they go great together and am sticking with this theme thruoughout my computer

zRoCkIsAdDiCtInG · 12-07-2005, 09:50 PM

I envy you, im upgrading christmas,
I just don't know what to pick

Digital Camera
INtuos 3
Hard Drive (for backups)

ahhh

Matt555 · 12-07-2005, 09:51 PM

what sort of cooling kit?

zRoCkIsAdDiCtInG · 12-07-2005, 10:28 PM

no just different fans for case to replace, and install new ones in places i didn even know my case can hold fans, dont worry, air current is still planned out and gonna be good.

Did I heard Arctic Cooling? Yes! That's the only way to go dude

max12590 · 13-07-2005, 02:36 AM

No!! Thermaltake Tower 112 is waaaaay better. But Prometia is really the only way to go. I'm looking at building my own phase change cooler.

Exfoliate · 13-07-2005, 02:40 AM

Can't one of the Prometia models give you like -60 C temps?!

max12590 · 13-07-2005, 02:45 AM

Yes, yes it can. But I might build a phase changer capable of much, much more.

Exfoliate · 13-07-2005, 02:49 AM

Much much more! How much lower would you need it? That would be amazing. How much does a good Prometia model cost anyway?

max12590 · 13-07-2005, 02:50 AM

around $850 for the cooler, another 80 for the AMD adapter.

Matt555 · 13-07-2005, 08:19 PM

thats insane, i mean MINUS temperatures, blimey, so ex u like arctic cooling then? lol this hsf is awesome, big but good, i wondered why my computer was running a little warm today and thought that my new cooling might not be working...but then it struck me that it is a REALLY hot day and its sucking in hot air to begin with so it wont be exactly cool.
When it gets to a more average air temperature outside the case then i'll post some pics of the temps. My nb is now 3*C cooler (it was getting up to 55*C the other day and its like 52*C today (on a hot day, shud be a degree or so cooler on average day) But the CPU is currently running at 34*C and Case temp is 37*C a lil bit warm but it is a very hot day
