Well...this D820 was screwed up to start with, it wouldn't spin up the CPU fan, despite the fan being replaced 3 times. While I do miss the D820, the E6400 I replaced it with is so much better (as well as the battery life, the weight, and the speed).
![]() Note: the background crap is from this being taken in a hotel room, I had brought the laptop in parts and was keeping it cool with some blue ice packs. It was ghetto laptop or Dell Mini 10...Ghetto laptop it was. This one here isn't so much, but I did have to make an extender so that fan wire reached the CD power. I always wanted a back lit G5, and this was the closest I ever got.

![]() ![]() Sorry for the bad pictures, and i can report no temperature changes still idle at 39c Think because the fan is so up against the heatsink it isn't actually moving any air, when i get round to it ill put it on some motherboard stand-offs edit: cookie if you can gues what is underneath the white box in the second picture (box the card is lying on)

This is another image I found that I did a while back, this old FX5200 was getting way too hot, to the point of burning your fingers as it was just a heatsink, no fan.

![]() umm put some space below the fan so you gonna have better airflow ![]() and why you still use stock fan? it would block some air from the bigger fan

the green is the higher airflow and the purple is lower airflow, the smaller fan i think it would give little cooling since one big fan is enough, if you use small fan on that, it would block some hot air that could escape from heatsink

How are you so sure? I had a p3 for a decade and I got it used. Especially since in I think I might upgrade in 2014-2015. Then it will be retired to whatever use I have for it. I am keeping this thing forever. Its the cpu I put in the first computer I actually built.
