Fanless Server Cooling Under 100 Bucks - sort of.

mirdux
yeah so i run two out of my basement for gaming stuff, and well thats where i sleep so i thought there had to be a better way... so i was rambling, as i like to do while im thinking, and i literally tripped over a pile of car radiators and intercoolers in my garage..... the 2 servers are already watercooled but the HS and fans on it are quite noisy... so i, being the innovator thought of just taking some 1 1/2" rubber tubing i had and basically adapting that size to the resivour of the cooling system. I got worked up about it, and living about 10ft from a creek, just tossed the radiator into it with hosing attached, and dug a shallow line for the tubing to run under the dirt, and up through my basement window, down to the computer... i have both the lines set up going both ways, but when i was finishing up i realized i should hit myself in the head, because i assumed my pump for the stock water system i assumed was enough to move a combined 7 gallons of water 5 feet up gradient back to the radiator. So at this point, i have an actual water pump for a car, but am trying to find an electric motor to adapt into the pulley on it. So yeah, just thought id mention the concept, maybe get some of ya'll into doing some innovating of your own.

Don't forget to add anti-freeze in the water and insulate everything, hoses, waterblocks, cpu/gpu/nb/... because condensation will occur.
Look around on vrzone and xtremesystems on how to insulate your hardware.

radiator hoses have thier own insulation to begin with. Buy anyhow im using a 50/50 blend of AF and water. some insulation for the inner case tubing may be a plan however..... One thing thats beginning to surprise me is how much water this system will move.

  2. Better Cooling AMD 64 3400+

    Well, I am by no means a hardware wiz, I have assembled computers before, but never replaced the
    cooling, so I have little idea what to do or how to do it. First of all, I have an AMD 64 3400+
    with the standard AMD cooler, my mother board is an MSI K8N Neo Platinum, I think that's all
    yall need to know. The biggest issue is that my room is not a cool room, so the CPU on the warmer
    days runs at 60°C - which I feel is far too hot. I also think my case is not aiding the cooling.
    It's a case with a windtunnel thing in it, but the placement of the tunnel is actua....
  3. Liquid Cooling Systems

    I was thinking of buying a liquid cooling system for my PC sometime soon. I've heard that these
    are really good cooling systems, but are difficult to install if you don't know exactly what you
    are doing. I was wondering if it would be a worthy investment, how much i should spend on one, and
    what brands would be ideal.....

    I'm looking at getting a new heatsink+fan for my 9800 pro 256. I've heard that they generate
    gobs of heat, because the bulk of memory is on the top of the board. I don't know if this is
    true, so that would be my first question. My second question would be, If it does generate a lot of
    heat, what is a good heatsink+fan? I've been looking at some of the zalman heatsinks, but I know
    there are others that are probally just as good. Any suggestions?....
  5. Cooling the Processor
    (17)
    The last thread i had posted was about the underclocking the processor, as said by Cloak it can be
    done. So I assume it makes the computer run slow, as well as also prevents it from getting heated
    up (except when the load is Full). But there are still many ways to cool the processor without
    using the HARDWARE cooling devices.. most of them are like, programs which claim can cool the
    processor. What do you think, do they really work? Can they screw up something ? Some say that
    those are not recommended? I have heard of Waterfall. It is also a small program which can co....
