what do you think of these fans?

spud107 · May 20, 2007

aquired them from a small power supply, think using them cooling cpu is out of the question , maybe be good to stick em on my mosfet heatsinks.

spud107 · May 20, 2007

heres the fans,

spud107 · May 20, 2007

also experimenting with the airflow using thin metal sheet, 1 bit to direct air to gfx card,
another to stop hot air from cpu heating psu

It might do something.. They don't push a lot of air, but on small heatsinks they might do some good. Do you have something you can use to read the temps and actually see any differecne?

spud107 · May 20, 2007

only the touch test lol, after a few hours use they do get a bit toasty, these fans are perfect size for em, even though there the tiniest iv ever seen,

gonna bodge em on

Frick · May 20, 2007

Go for it and feel what happens.

Some small fans are very loud though..

spud107 · May 20, 2007

b4,

and after,

now for a session on cnc3 to heat everything up

dont really hear them above the other fans and hdd's, then the 1950pro fires up and drowns everything else out anyway

yeah i seen your mod when you posted it with the zalman mod, think i postet a pic of it in your other thread, thanks again for the idea lol, that p3 was doin nothing anyway, as for performance i think it makes a bit of difference, and those wee fans may be helping, was able to do superpi at 2.4ghz yesterday,
the case? well i was planning to do whole thing black, the front panel looks good, (all black) but the spraycans started to not work right wen doin the inside so tried to improvise, its now white n black speckled (crappy) effect, but it looks better than in the pics,
this is what happens when you work nightshift, have nights off and boredom sets in,
