Poll: Does your CPU have a fan on it?

[notfred]

Mine don't

Dual P3 450's w/ big compaq OEM heatsinks. (they're not in a compaq box, though)

 

[Rallispec]

well i guess technically my laptop doesnt.

all my other computers do though

 

[melly]

no!

 

[Lithium381]

i have the delta "screamer" on mine

 

[VirusDub]

The last CPU that I felt comfortable running without a fan was a Pentium 75. The heatsink barely even got hot with that puppy. If only I could do that with my Athlon...

I hate those things, too damn loud.

My box is loud enough w/ the PSU and 3 HDDs.

two powerful 5cm fans on an alpha.

 

[Viper GTS]

Both do.

Dual 1800+'s with retail HS's, fans replaced with 16.1 dba 60 mm Adda's.

I have my 1600+ @ 1900+ with a crappy fan that I paid $15.00 for. It actually came with a tube of thermal paste, and I think that it made all the difference.

 

[CraigRT]

Yep, CoolerMaster HHC-001 heatsink... very effective!

 

[Pennstate]

celeron 800, no fan, generic vantec heatsink

 

[Thegonagle]

A bit OT for the thread, but what can I replace the Golden Orb on my celeron 566 at 850 with that is quiet and still effective?

I've replaced my case fan and my PS fan with some impressively quiet Panaflows, but the noise from that Golden Orb still comes through.

80mm NMB on a tbird 850.

 

[Pennstate]

Garfang, if the GC68 fits in your MB, you can run your 566@850 w/o a fan

 

[PsychoAndy]

active cooling for me...

 

[Thegonagle]

What's a GC68?

Im running this sucker on an Abit "slotket" adapter. My MB is an Abit BH6 (old, I know, but it runs). I think there is plenty of room in front of the slotket/proc for a very "tall" heatsink, but not a "flat" one that would hang over the sides of the processor package.

Thanks a ton.

 

[SWScorch]

Garfang, go look in the Cases and Cooling forum. The SVC GC68 is the current hot topic. Its quiet, effective, and cheap!

 

[yakko]

No, but the heatsink that is on it has a fan.

Thanks, I will do a search and check it out.

 

[toant103]

YES

 

[GooberPHX420]

<< Yes, I know it's possible to run a lower speed Celeron or Tualatin Celeron just with a large heatsink on top. That's what I wanna try, want to assemble a silent box for late at night work and browsing. But where to get that large thing? Any clues/links? >>



Check this bad boy out, Geared

 

[polypterus]

I've got 3 CPU's without fans, an 8088, 386, and p200.

Oh yeah and one Athlon with a noisy-ass fan... which actually I need to replace.
