Crossflo-X TPU Edition....

MKmods · Mar 9, 2008

Ok so it looks like we will be going SFF on this mod.
I think Air will be the way to go with some Carbonfiber thrown in for fun.

For hardware I will be using my Biostar TForce 590, X2 6400 and a pair of ECS 8800GTs with the Accelero coolers. I have my PC Power & Cooling 510 with the external rail adjusters as well.

I could use a bit of advice form you OCers.. I need a CPU cooler that stands no more than 6" that is better than the Freezer. Any ideas
(the TR Ultra 120 is like 6.3")

panchoman · Mar 9, 2008

i see you're a tforce fan.. Tforce FTW!

um try the xigmatek s1283.. looking at its dimensions right now

will · Mar 9, 2008

Sounds good, the thermalright ultima 90i is a good cooler and smaller than the u-120, its better than the freezer pro (some reviews have it within a few degrees of the TR U120E)...

imperialreign · Mar 9, 2008

the Zalman 9700 stands about 5.5" - and it still considered amoung the best CPU coolers

MKmods · Mar 9, 2008

do you think this will be enough airflow, lol

No. need 14 more of those fans. lol.

MKmods · Mar 9, 2008

I will mod each one like this

I am just trying to figure a color..

you could use a gemini II and run it passive in there

only 2 probs, 1- Im not a CM fan (except for the Centurion5) and 2-I really want airflow to go from right to left.
The Acceleros are really nice that way.

Also I am using a pair of Thermalright HR 09s on the mosfets and i want to be able to see the Ballistix tracers.

I have had really good luck with them. for the $ I think they are unbeatable.
Also a couple weeks ago I emailed biostar asking for a I/O plate for the 570 so I could do the Rosewill mod, in 3 days it was at my door no charge.

imperialreign · Mar 9, 2008

not big enough.

mod your case around these bad boys:

If I read the dimensions correctly, I believe this will fit the bill. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233001

wow.. that was really cool for biostar to do.. i've got a tforce 550 and i LOVE it! i see people with gigabyte 590's with bioses that have like 1/3 of the stuff in my bios and im like :wtf:

DanishDevil · Mar 9, 2008

Make sure you turn that northbridge heatsink 90 degrees so its fins match the airflow.

Looks like a sweet project so far! 7 users viewing right now!

how do you think that compares to the AC Freezer?

LOL, when I first started I thought about that..

DanishDevil · Mar 9, 2008

Better than the freezer. The main difference is that the freezer uses this format from the bottom up for heat transfer:

Copper base
Copper heatpipe
Aluminum fins

While the Xigmatek uses this:

Copper heatpipe
Aluminum fins

That way, heat is wicked away from the CPU way before it could travel through a few mm of copper and hit the heatpipes. It's called DHT, or Direct Heatpipe Touch. If I hadn't dropped $50 on this Thermaltake V-1, I would have gotten one of those for sure.

well . . . 12v DC can be easily driven by the PSU

. . . if the PSU can handle the amperage draw of initial spin-up :laugh:

just throw a couple of steppers inline, and you'll be alright :roll:

mk.. if i could make a mod suggestion... you need to mod your car to turn it into a system! like so: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=518

the ultimate mod, modding an insane comp into your car using HUD (heads up display) and reflecting the monitor onto your windshield.

(hard to focus on the road though, lol)

panchoman · Mar 9, 2008

DO IT!!!!! :respect:

meh . . . not much more distracting than the onslaught of LCD gauge clusters, audio head units with DVD screens, the in-dash navigation system, compass in the rearview, on-dash satellite radio controls, cell phone holder with charging dock, ipod player, and 4 friends chillin in the back seat

JrRacinFan · Mar 10, 2008

Hiya MK, I would like to make the suggestion of the Scythe Katana 2.

Fitseries3 · Mar 10, 2008

noctua makes a good CPU cooler and they also make a matching NB/SB cooler. i've used them and they work pretty well. almost as good as the TRUE.
