I was thinking about case cooling the other day. I'm trying to lower my interior temperatures to get my cpu temperatures down. However, I loathe putting extra fans on my case. Extra fans = extra power consumption & extra noise. I want a silent solution so... Ever touch the top of your case? Its warm! What if instead of a normal plate on top of the case I put an array of heat sinks. That would help the heat get out of the case. Someone help me brainstorm. How would you get the most out of this configuration without comprimising the low noise quality? I'm thinking bout getting a bunch of short copper tubing and drilling matching holes in the top. Then insert the tubes into the holes and epoxy them in place. The hollow tubes increase the surface area exposed to the hotzone, and conducts heat out the top into the room. I could pinch the tubing closed at the top. OR Could I fill the tubes with a volatile liquid and make a heat pipe type of configuration? Both ends would be sealed. Help me out here guys.
