A Christmas Present For Abu

The floor fan is the first step in the direction I was hoping to go cooling-wise.
Unfortunately, the ATX power connector ( and, to a smaller extent, the IDE cables) are making my planned part very difficult to properly configure.
In fact, it may be more trouble than it's worth.
So right now that fan is mainly assisting in establishing a vertical airflow pattern in my case.
Even though the main roofvents don't have fans in them there is a very noticable and vigorous flow of warm air exiting through them.
This arrangement ( which is now over 5 days old) has yielded the best results to date.
After 24 hrs of continuous 100% CPU usage (ProteinFolding) my CPU temp is 33degC and case ambient ( as measured directly over the HSF) is 25.5C.

yes, very interesting. but i can't c the pics. wtf? i'm not using a pop up blocker thing either. wt's up?

u could water cool for less noise and effort than all that lol

This arrangement is really not all that noisy.
All the fans are wired to 5v so they aren't spinning up too much.

Watercooling is the next step anyway.
That's what the big vents in the roof are for.

Edit: Abu are you getting the dreaded "little red X" syndrom?
Can you right click and bring up a URL in Properties?
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Clocker, where are you located?

It&#39;s just that my brother is coming over in that direction in the next few days, and I&#39;d hate to have him caught up in the vortex.
