I got a new fan from old dual 486DX and decided to stuff it into my comp for better cooling. It's Canon high-precision fan (was from government computer), motor is quiet but the airflow isn't.

It's about 1.5 inches tall and maybe 5 inches blade diameter. Here's how it looks like:





Largest fan ever!

My Zalman CPU fan is bigger than that!

I just wish i had some cpu goo so I can install it

$0.00

I installed drivers for some fuck and he gave me the whole shitbox, I pulled out the components. I will post the pics.

When does it grow wings?

After bootup:



After 1 hour in Quake:

Do you have "before" screenshots of the temperature rise?

[|DRC| Wartex]

"After bootup" means when computer was turned on. I don't have a thermometer to measure the temp when computer is off.

[Guest]

my cpu temp usually goes up to around 64 C and mobo around 40 C... is that too hot?

[|DRC| Zyprexa]

I meant before you installed the new fan

[|DRC| Wartex]

53°C CPU, 36°C Mobo... This case is going to Poo. Because I got a new one and now is doing surgeries on it too.

[Rarek]

Hmm, my zalman fan equipped CPU reaches about 28 °C idle and maybe goes up 5 degrees after an hour of usage. My room is air conditioned though, that could be a factor. My 5900 is also equipped witha a zalman. I hated it when I had to wear ear plugs when I went to sleep if my computer was running overnight.

Guess what you're getting as a birthday present....

Japanese fetus kabob covered in shit? VME7 = Classic.

j/k. Is it Lan Evo 7?

[Rarek]

Can't it be both?

Taped to the steering wheel?

[Rarek]

As tires.

The skull will bang on the alphalt and I will get a ticket for damaging the pavement. Can I get a studded fetus? Lol, this thread is going to spam, lets stop it


PS: Different CPU's have different sensors. Best zalman's fan/heatsink dissipates 10% at worst and 18% at best (proven by multiple tests) more heat in comparison to stock intel fans/heatsinks. So if we are talking 53 - 29 = 22 degree difference, or 45% precent difference, I think our tests were under different conditions. And no matter what you say, a huge fan like that that pumps in a few dozen cubic feet of 20°C air into the case constantly beats at least four 12 cm fans.
