hello... i always wanted to lower down the disturbing noise of the processor fan.
so please suggest any ways to remove the processor fan, i plan to use a longer, wider and bigger heatsink for my CPU.

i heard there is some electronic stuff that can transfer heat in one direction...
wonder what is it. need help here...

btw my processor is a Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 wolfdale OC to 2.8Ghz
planing to use a Core 2 Quad heatsink, but without the active fan.

u could use the heatsnk full copper ... i think its for only server sue .. you can try though its heatsiink for 1u server

u can used thermaltake sonic silent tower v2.. u can used fan or not but make sure ur casing got good air flow..

thansk for your advice, any other "low cost" suggestion??

avoid copper if you're aiming for low air flow. Copper does indeed absorb heat very efficiently, however, they need a good amount of CFM to dissipate them. Go for combo like copper base/ alu fins. Alu works very well with low airflow.

@TS, if the noise annoys you, its not nescessary to go passive, get a good heatsink and pair it with a low cfm fan and it will work very well, a litle air flow helps ALOT in improving your temperatures. If possible, get coolers that runs 12cm fans, 12cm fans generate the least noise with good cfm rate. You can try TT bigtyphoon, or if ur budget allows, Xigmatek S1283 or Thermalright Ultra 120 or Ultima 90i. HR-01 is a good passive cooler as well.

i'm getting 140mm for my casing...
muahahaa, but my CPU and GPU going passive...

no point, a fan direct to your hsf works better.

i heard there is some electronic stuff that transfer heat from processor to heatsink...
anyone sell such things?

its called peltier, and basically, its a BIG power hog. Not recommended for 24/7 usage bro. And you will need a HSF to work with it too.

thanks for the info...

btw, i dont go for 24/7...
my PC will on 12HR MAX !!!

U can use the peltier to cool the air then blow at ur cpu cooler ... but dun use ur pc PSU to supply power to it... it sucks the power of ur psu...

how, how??
i dont get it...

the peltier is flat and small, how to cool down the air ?

use a heatsink and its fit to spread the coolness
not those heatpipe heatsinks, just attact the normal NB heatsink will do. and place an air to to exhaust air from the heatsink

y not build ur own watercooling??? thats quite low budget...i did it...
how much is low budget neway?

RM150 and below....
that really low...

Artic Cooling Freezer 7 pro.RM100 off compuzone.Non passive but silent.Passive also doable kua.

thanks for the info, btw i already 1 "super big" passive processor heatsink loaded with 4 copper heatpipes.

now need to get my computer some good air ventilation.

My galaxy GeForce 8500GT2-OC needs a new cooler...
the CM VGA Cooler is too loud

I think passive cooling for CPU wouldn't be good enough. If you want something quiet then WC is the best bet.

WC...
with a budget as low as Rm100...
i don't think its enough

since u already have a good cooler... just improve ur casing ventilation...

Good things never come cheap
Maybe you want to increase your budget and upgrade someday.

T-T nooooo..........
not working le, budget of course low la
just finnish my SPM and wanted to GAME kaokao....

hehheee
