Project: Stocker Part II

 

This is the final installment to my most recent cooling experiment, where we took a stock supplied AMD cooler/fan (with copper slug/insert) and altered @ first the fans, then supplimented different thermal conductives... the previous thread can be found [here]

 

 

System for testing

AMD 2500+ (@stock)

Nf7-s version 2.0

Gigabyte 9600XT 128M

Corsair XMS 3200 256M DDR x 2

Coolermaster 'Centurion Case' + 450W

80G Seagate Barracuda SATA HDD

 

Case fans

Intake - CoolerMaster 80mm SL 12v .12A/1.5w

Exhaust - Sunon 80mm SL 37cfm @ 2700rpm 12v 2.3w

Y.S. Tech 40 CFM @ 6800rpm

 

 

Heating things up

For the final testing the room ambient was @ 17c (stable), MBM 5.3.3.0 was again used as our measuring software, while readings were taken after 30 mins of running Folding@Home version 4.0.

 

Well here was the original temps (stock AMD issue)

While this is the end result of lapping the stocker, applying Artic Silver 5 & mounting the Y.S. Tech's 6800rpm (screamer :P)

What were the overclocked temps I here you ask? well we are an OC'ing enthusiast site after all... would you believe @ 2.015Ghz the temps didn't flinch a whisker from those @ 1.83Ghz :O

 

 

Pro's

 

- Relatively cheap cooling solution

- Parts are easily sourced

- All experience in culmanitive

 

Con's

 

- It wont look as Uber as your mates Jet 7/sp-97 etc.

- 6800rpm's of noise, sounds like a VCR on permanent rewind :lol:

Thanks guys :D now all I've gotta' do is find a HsF I'll be happy with for a while...

 

6800 rpm is... TOO MUCH! :blink::P

 

 

nice taz

 

and i think we call them ghetto mods over here

 

Ooh I though the definition of a ghetto mod was something I did to a system case with an angle grinder (rough as guts) ;):lol:
