how do YOU keep comp cool?

[Fitseries3]

lmfao rotfl, i might want to try that, might allow me to hit 5Ghz !

6c below room temp... no normal water setup can do that.

 

[revin]

thanks...what part do you like?

All of it. Youre still old skool with me, and you gotta pretty clean setup, and that cooler rocks!!!
i wanted to get a "down draft" cooler, but, something made me go with the Ninja, and I was supprised to see it run fanless!!!

Might give that a spin thru a bench fanless, but dont wann fry that EE

3 120 fans 1 in front sucking in front od hard drive cage 2 on other side sucking across hard drives 3 on back of case blowing out. one 300 mm on side of case blowing in. A monsoon vigor gaming II tec on cpu with a 120 blowing towards the exust fan. and I turn up the factory cooler on my Evga 8800 gts (g92) whole system sounds like a central a/c unit in July
But Cpu stays at 84-90f Video card at 100-130f and hard drives 100f motherboard 79f case 70f

I use the Koolance Exos2 & a shrouded radiator W/120mm fan from a Galaxy II kit. My own dual loop.Sorry for the plumbers strap holding my D-tek Fuzion waterblock but, I have great success with the stuff. I have a 900mhz overclock on my CPU and load out @ 50C so I am good with that. Antec spot cool on my ram works wonders.

 

[Bytor]

I use air, to kool the liquid...

All one loop:

Swiftech Apogee GT CPU block (D-Tek Fuzion is in the mail)
2 - Swiftech MCW60 GPU blocks
2 - Swiftech MCP350 pumps with OCLabs tops
Black Ice Extreme 240 & 360 rads.
Swiftech Micro res.
5 - 141 CFM Delta fans, w/shrouds on a sunbeam controller

6c below room temp... no normal water setup can do that.

I live in a basements where the ambient room temperature is between 55-60 Fahrenheits, imagine a huge water cooling bong thing. I was thinking about building a inter cooled water system, where there are two loops for water cooling. The inner one will have antifreeze, and it will run through a series of water blocks/radiators that would then run through a outer loop which then runs through the cooling tower. It will be a neat summertime expierment, which i will do this summer.

Really, everybody here has some very nice setups. older and newer systems, and I like all of them.
It's turned into a passion/hobby for me, and have seen and learned alot from here.
And have been made to feel very welcomed also, I apprecaite that from everyone!!!!!

I got some head room,........................................................................................................Butt my ASS is sticking out

thats not as bad as you think - you have somewhere for the hot air to go. its the systems with the exhausts blocked that fail in epic proportions.

update i use air and i got

1x 250mm fan on the front blowing air over hdds and into case

1x 250mm fan on the side of the case blowing over mobo and gfx

1x 120mm fan on back of case sucking air out

cpu im useing a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

psu is a 120mm fan

keeps it nice and cool

 

[ShadowXP]

Thermaltake Kandalf LCS with the original 120mm fans swapped out with four Noctua NF-S12-1200's (three in the front to cool the radiator, one in the back to supply cooling for the case itself.

thanks lol i tried mine fanlesss it ran great for an hour but then it heated up to 69C and i shut it off. now it loads @ 41C and yes the cpu is undervolted .05v

edit up down to 1.4v (.1v off stock)

 

[trog100]

i have one of these.. silver with the side window and blue fans.. not the best looking case but its functional..

http://icute.com.tw/english/0508ULA.html

the turbo fan in the front is fake the real one sits behind it..

one big fan in the font blowing in.. one at the back exhausting out.. one in the side gently blowing in on the grafix card area..

the grafix card cooler is stock and exhausts out the back of the case..

the cpu is cooled by an artic freezer pro..

the fans are controled by the motherboard and run around 800 rpm at idle.. as the cpu heats up the all the fans start to speed up..

it runs quiet at idle and but a little noisier when the cpu heats up under load.. the case temps are very near room ambient..

Im using a cm690, with 2 120mm fans in the top (@7v) one in the front (@7v) a 140mm in the lower side mount (@9v) and a 140mm in the base (@9v), a scythe infinity with stock fan and a standard g80 gts cooler

Much better, in my previous case (pretty standard 120mm front & rear layout) i was getting 38 core (34 with 2 fans on the infinity), 52 gpu and 36 n/b.
I'll probably be going back on water when the new quads are released (and probably a new case too), i was hoping to fit a 2x120mm rad in the roof, as there are already fan holes, but they're spaced for 140's, so it looks too much hassle, id rather just get a stacker or similar and wedge a rad in the drive bays

 

[Nitro-Max]

this is one cool case and i mean litrally!!!

 

[Morgoth]

not cool but noisy
water cooling is colder
Phasechange more colder
Liquad Nitrogen best

Liquiad Nitrogen best

i meant cool as in cold lol you cant water cool a case only its components this is about as cold as it gets when the whole case is made of fans unless you mod a fridge or freezer lol.

 

[grunt_408]

Mine idles at 28 with 5x 120mm and 2x 80mm
IFX-14 cooler.

WOW
Nice to see i'm not the only fan crazy

 

[Nitro-Max]

Craigleberry i like that color purple you used.

jesus christ..i started this thread a year ago...im impressed...i still use water cooling lol and 2 120mm led fans
