What kick-butt cooling system are you using?

[CHiMPBizKiT]

The chimp's curious to know what you guys are using out there. I'm looking to upgrade my system with some cool peltier/water-cooling as soon as I can. Share your fat HSF combo and narly cooling here!

i got a no-name cpu with a big 80mm fan strapped onto it... for my slot-a athlon

this thing gets hot! around 40 C idle!!

maybe the big fan isn't a good idea?

I have a Katmai PIII 450 o/c to 1.13 Ghz on the stock heat sink with the thermal tape. Oh, yeah, and it's submerged in $1000 of Florinert. Just kidding.

Nothing yet, but I got a few 120mm fans; going to cut a hole in the side, and on the top of my Enlight 7237 case. Also built a little blower assembly that goes in a PCI case slot. Neat thing about it - it only cost me $2.
Bought a little blower, and epoxied it's exhaust hole over the hole in an old video card bracket. Nice, cheap little sucker...er, blower.

alpha pal6035 on my tbird 1.1@1.15 (and it's a week 53, how sorry is that? ) w/ a 120mm alum panaflo intake, 92mm exhaust, and 80mm PSU. not much, and stock since the case is brand new but i guess since my chip is barely OC'ed it doesn't take much at all ;P

Zipperhead, kickass setup! I was thinking of the Q500 for quite a while, but after I saw yours, it just looked so pretty that I bought it could you elaborate on what you did? or what you have or anythin? I remember seein a while back that you used antifreeze or something...thanks!

Hey Zipper how much noise does your water pump make? Overall would you say that a watercooling rig is quieter than a HSF rig.

[Zipperhead]

this is what it used to be:

My system:

inwin q500 full tower case
asus cusl2 m.b.
p3 700 overclocked to 1085mhz
mushkin rev2 128mb ram
seagate ultra 160 15,000rpm 18gig h.d.
adaptec 29160 contoller
plextor ultraplexwide 40x cd-rom drive
plextor plexwriter 12/4/32 burner
asus v7700 64meg gts-2 video card
sound blaster live sound card
3com 905b nic
sony e400 19" flat screen monitor

going to be:


either a p3 with an asus cuv266 or an amd t-bird 1000,either way it will be pretty much the same except for m.b.,ram, and cpu

ericd-it is almost silent.i run the 120mm fans at 5volts,can barely here them run.yes it is quieter than a hsf.

InWin A500

80mm blowhole(out) on top-middle, Sunon 92mm intake on front bezel.

I'm going to add 2 92mm or 120mm's on the side above the motherboard, inset in a window I'm also gonna add. (Right now there's also a window on the top, looking at the motherboard. I plan to add neon.)

When I get my A7V in the mail (PostOffice is crap, 4 weeks worth of crap!) I'm slappin' a Swiftech 72W peltier setup on my Duron600. I'll get watercooling going soonafter.

 

[helloedchen]

ALpha hs/f on my chip, 7 total fans in the box.

Sweet setup Zipperhead. I'm glad to see other people routing all the cables behind the MB Tray for a clean look. I love the water setup, but I just don't have the balls for that yet....

I'm selling the water-block w/peltier, if you're interested.
