Seriously. I got really sick of the loud @$% fans running in my ear while I was trying to sleep, and when I put it into the CPU cubbie hole, the processor temp would shoot from 115 to 146 degrees. I just didn't like it doing that. especially with the 2 CD burners, 2HD and one 7200RPM HD. I also have 3 PCI slots filled (soon to be 4 when I get my FireWire card). By having it mounted in the hole outside of the case, I can use a single 4" fan and keep everything around 96 degrees.
Now I need to do something else though, with the new upgrade card in it, the processor hovers around 165 degrees. I also need to figure out how to cool down the mobo, it is 60MHz stable, but overheats after about 6min and crashes. (55MHz is perfectly stable, but I like punishment I suppose) I'm also trying to get the chip moved from 300 to 350MHz and move that backside up past 200MHz (3:2 ratio). I know that the backside runs fine at 225MHz, the temptation is just too great. As for the tea, I suppose that can earn you some points. Ever stick an Apple Extended in a dishwasher before..... -Robyn On Sunday, September 22, 2002, at 09:31 PM, Howie S wrote: >> And here I think that I am soooo cool because my S900 mobo is seated >> on >> sliding trays attached to the inside of my computer desk's CPU cubbie >> hole. > > No, serious? > >> First one with a water cooling system wins!!! ha ha:) > > I spilled a glass of iced tea on (in) my keyboard once, does that > count? > =) > > -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
