My Case, the pictures speak for themselves...

Yea, good idea. Or you caould take a crayon and write !!EXFOLIATE!! on the side in really big letters.

 

Well, I just finished some ducting work on my computer. Amazingly, there was something wrong with my cooling. After my computer was on for about 5 hours, 2 of which were idle, the others working in MS Publisher, it was running at the incredible temperature of 34 celsius, after a restart. This is obviously unacceptable with that monster cooler, so I moved some fans and put in some ducting. I'll test it in the morning when the 30 some decibals are acceptable.

EDIT: Oh yea, that was overclocked 100 MHz.

 

mines 37-43 on idle and full load haha, is that better than 46 on load and 30 on idle? after all, everythings stock except for the cpu fan

 

Pretty good job, must be a good flowing case.

 

everythings stock, im hoping to upgrade christmas

whole new cooling in case
ide drive for backups
hopefully a intuos3 4x5 even, its amazing

 

What is it? The intuos?

 

its a drawing-tablet thing, I'm obsessed with corel painter, would be amazing to get it

 

Haha, you need that 3DLabs card for your Corel Painter :good:

 

i wish I had it, but then again, when it comes to balancing out gaming, and designing, id rather pick what I have now haha

 

Whew, I tried using that dryer exhaust tubing as ducting for my computer. That was a trip. It would have worked really well but it was too big. I got the idea from that Sunbeam Overclockers kit, but it only accepts 80 mm fans. So Now I continue on my search for a better cooling solution. Peltier anyone?

 

my case has dropped like 15*C in total since i have done a few mondifications to it, new hdd cooler, 2 coolermaster case fans, new ezcool case, new artic freezer 4 cpu cooler, new alaska northbridge cooler (nb tems arent any lower bt damn is the fan quieter!) cpu idles at about 30-33*C but has dropped as low as 26*C!!! dont play games so it never really maxes out, highest it has been for a long time is like 42*C

 

haha nice man

wow 26? mine starts at 29 and keeps climbing until 37 where it idles haha

but then again, not that bad, since it loads at the same temps

 

dude check out the pictures http://www.hardwareforums.com/showthread.php?t=6119&page=4 (this thread) i like the new cooler, as enormous as it may be its gr8, and was cheap

 

arctic cooling huh? ex is gonna love you, how much was it?

 

£15.22 gr8 value, i am thinking of adding 2 controllers on the front, the coolermaster musketeer (silver with blue dials - i like the idea of the fan control AND the sound card output) and maybe the Vantec Nexus NXP-205-SL Multi Fan Controller - Silver that would mean more controll over more fans and a reading of my soundcard (which would be nice as its quite good, not amazing but quite good)
As you can see, i like silver and blue, i think they go great together and am sticking with this theme thruoughout my computer

 

I envy you, im upgrading christmas,
I just don't know what to pick

Cooling kit
Digital Camera
INtuos 3
Hard Drive (for backups)

ahhh

 

what sort of cooling kit?

 

no just different fans for case to replace, and install new ones in places i didn even know my case can hold fans, dont worry, air current is still planned out and gonna be good.

 

Did I heard Arctic Cooling? Yes! That's the only way to go dude

 

No!! Thermaltake Tower 112 is waaaaay better. But Prometia is really the only way to go. I'm looking at building my own phase change cooler.
