Liquid Cooling for an Enclosed Cabinet

lol . . . Yes, there is a toe-kick (well, not really a toe kick but molding below the cabinet interior base) and that's an option I had not thought of. When we built the place we tried very hard to avoid putting air handling ports in any of the cabinetry. In one place our hand was forced...

Liquid Cooling for an Enclosed Cabinet

Hehe - not so easy in my case. About 4" of "mud" , a substance more like concrete that serves as a base for the tile floor that, yes, does extend under the cabinetry. The cabinetry is L-shaped, and the cabinet in question is in the corner, so it borders on two walls. One is an outside wall...

Liquid Cooling for an Enclosed Cabinet

Thanks for the quick comments, folks. From them I gather its physically possible with commercially available parts, and it might work if I can provide enough air flow in the cabinet to deal with the remaining heat. I've operated one PC in that cabinet with the doors closed - one or another of...

Liquid Cooling for an Enclosed Cabinet

Years ago I installed built-in cabinets to house my two PCs so they could co-exist in the living area of our home. But the increased heat generation and case size required by video cards and internal cooling systems on newer models has gradually forced me to take them out of the enclosed...

My system is fairly beefy, why does an old game like WoW

That's the whole point - the low frame rate is mostly a cpu issue, not a gpu issue.

question about temperatures on the E8400

Don't know where and when you see the multiplier of 6, but that's what it will drop to under no load to save power. To test, run CPUID and then put a load on the system - you should see the multiplier jump from 6 to 9 immediately. My understanding is temperature reading on these chips...

My system is fairly beefy, why does an old game like WoW

Clearly, MMORPG's can be more challenging to your PC. Why? Because Crysis (eg) does NOT display the player's character - just the weapon(s). Easy. Because an MMORPG can have 50 or 100 uniquely dressed, randomly moving characters, all in the field of vision (maybe). Characters that can also...

My system is fairly beefy, why does an old game like WoW

I was asking the same questions as the OP . . . I run a QX6700 OC'd to 3.2GHz, and twin 8800GTX's . . . 768MB lol . . . and I had low frame rate and stuttering in towns (lots of players around) or in raids (with the eye candy turned on). The following approach helped me in EQ2, and will probably...
