New Cooling Method

[Guest]

Everybody know that by leaving one side of the case open, the CPU and motherboard temperature drop. In my case 9 degrees. Come to think of it, why didn't anybody suggest cooling a CPU by leaving one side open instead of install a black-label Delta? After all, install a Delta may lower CPU temperature by 5 degrees or more when comparing with other fans. And leaving a side open can do the same trick without the noise. Delta is driving me crazy.

That's a good idea. Even a 12 inch fan from Wallyworld puts out 180 cfm.

Well, you could... just wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

Actualy I heard that if you downclock a TB 1.33 Ghz to 1Ghz, you can run it with just an heat sink at the temperature will not rise above 45C ....

howzabout you test that theory for us and let us know if the chip fries.

thats what i do. just take your case outside once a month and use some compressed air to blow out the dust.

I very much doubt this, but it would be cool if it did. I think there is very little difference between an Axia 1Ghz and 1.3Ghz chip, and you cannot run a 1Ghz Athlon without a fan (unless you have a watercooler).

A P-Pro 200 maybe but not a 1Ghz proc.

By doing this you leave your computer vulnerable to interferance from other electronic devices.
