haha thats me alright, once a week just shut down an hour for rest.

I run my laptop and desktop 24/7/365. 100% loaded for folding@home. No problem so far.

Folding on laptop 24/7/365?!?
respect respect!
i couldnt even consistently fold on my desktop

you must be using CM notebook cooler to cool your lappie huh

Ya, I did open up the sticker( the hologram sticker), but the center part which is normally rubber or silicon is completed seal. You cannot force it open using a razor.

Koki, did you manage to open it n remove the blades from the housing?

Normally new fan is "self-lubrication", end-user shouldn't do anything to it.

Fan that need lubrication is when it is in the dying age (when it start making noise).

If you in doubts, try to ask your question in "Case Fan" thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/387771

p/s my 2 cents.

hmm?
i never tried to
but as i know by peeling off the non-hologram sticker it straight reveals the bearing
just oil there ok liao
but the circuits part, i dont have the balls to open a case fan coz its expensive and quite rare here

today while i go jalan2, bought another 90cfm blue fan + 4pin 12V extension cable...

decided to change the 'additional' boring 1200rpm fan to 2000rpm instead



rerouting the cables n tis is the best i can do, can't achieve something like nidzamputra did tho, sad....


front view, up and running.



i was hoping my proc's temp will go down but instead my GC drop 1~2'C...

but haven't tested on 100% tho.

now can challenge HAF's series?

cannot, my HAF CPU 45ºC cooled by CCF @ max RPM
GPU running at 37ºC on such a hot weather, yet its a fanless design


Attached thumbnail(s)

but there are several heatsinks, which is cheap, but powerful.

agreed!
CCF for example on the top 5 HSF list from FrostyTech
there's also V8 at the list, but CCF win V8 by performance
looks on the other hand, CCF lose la



Attached thumbnail(s)

BTW, koki what GC are you using?

And regarding the fan, different fan will have different design. Some will directly expose the bearing after peeling off the sticker, but some will not.

hmmm?
i'm using the Sapphire Ultimate HD 3870
http://www1.sapphiretech.com/us/products/p...?gpid=217&grp=3

about the fan, u sure it is not exposed?
because if it is not, how are u gonna oil it?
removing the fins and from the fan itself will void the warranty

Hahaha, I wish I can but no time with work.

it depends on the fan.
for ball and sleeve bearing, pnce you peel off the sticker, you can see the bearing and lubricate it with oil.
some coolermaster fans use rifle bearing. until today, i still have no idea where to lubricate it.

i thought rifle bearing is the one that is flat headed? :hmmm:
ball bearing also i dono what difference
just that i know got few types of bearing
i never actually dared to peel off and see the bearing la

No need laptop cooler. Just run. All computers should be able to do so, unless it's faulty.
