Thread: Forget the shuttle, check out its heatsink

bigger is better. so is more CFM.... get a delta, not a whining little 60mm, i'm talking a 80 mm. I have an 80 mm delta 7000 rpm @ 100 cfm on an alpha pal8045 heatsink. for an intake i have a 92 mm Delta which does 112 cfm. those run at about 58 decibels. i cant hear whats going on because the computer is on the riught side of my desk and so is the door. it works like a noise sheild, i cant sleep without the damn thing on anymore. love the hum. oh yeah, 2 cheesy 80 mm exaust fans, and the fan in the PSU (thats my home system).

car only has a 60 mm fan and then the exaust from the keypower (pretty loud, in the back of my 4runner, i put the cargo "sheild" (for lack of a better word for it) over and can here it with engine off, turn it on and no more noise.

yeah I modified my CPU fan in my home system...... removed the 7200rpm fan, replaced it with a BIG 80mm fan (like the ones in PSU's) and purchased an adaptor for the existing heatsink... since the 80mm only spins at 25000rpm it means alot less noise but moves the same amount of air.... = quiter system fan...


I do like that heatsink tho Gutter, would love to get one... good find.

i just installed a delta fan in my home system last week. dropped my cpu temps down from 137 to 120's. or 105 when the case is open (amd 1.4 @ 1.45 t-bird). and man is that delta loud! i may change it back due to the loudness.

Yeah, I have two 120mm Sunon fans in my tower that put out 45db a piece. They're the reason I always wear headphones while at the computer.

WHAT? WHATS THAT YOU SAY? I CANT HEAR YOU OVER YOUR COMPUTER, YOU MUST SPEAK UP

and I couldn't take the whine of the 60mm delta, i finally got a pal8045 with a low speed fan. and when all the fans and motors are humming it harmony it doesnt bother me, but if one is out of kilter and goes in and out of phase with the rest of the din, it drives me competely insane (ive disassembled machines over it, trying to find the noise source).

i've got a rattle that i've been trying to find for about a year now but other than that and On topic, the "heatsink" (heat pipe) that you mention is very similar to whats in laptops, just not as big.
