CPU cooling
Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2010 10:48 pm
After I woke up this morning to find that my CPU fan was hanging from one of its hooks on the heatsink retention bracket because one of the plastic "hooks" had snapped off it I was pretty pissed to find that the bracket which costs £5 is only available from Hong Kong and even then they cant guarantee delivery within 14 days - or even at all! Failing miserably in my quest to find a replacement a bit closer to home I then thought about alternatives and came up with this:
Above: side profile of Coolermaster 600 case showing the CoolIT liquid CPU cooling system built in.
Above: liquid cooled heatsink attached to CPU
Above: CPU temp with several applications running!
All in all I have to say that I'm very impressed. Its a very quiet system and the cooling system fan is exceptionally quiet on the first two settings. It is certainly noticeable on its top speed however!
