Passive Athlon XP cooling experiences? - Page 2

My via epia runs fine at 90 degrees. My P3-S M usually runs between 70 - 80 degrees. I can't see why an Athlon XP Tbred won't survive 70 - 75 degrees, it's certified to run up to 90.

maybe you can try to remove some fins from the heatsink so there is more are between the fins, that would be better if you'ld work fanless

The heatsink is not my property.

And even if it was, i wouldn't like to ruin it.

Buy that uber zalman case. it weighs a ton, costs a ton, but it's quiet.

You'll need a big heatsink with large and spacious fins that, when mounted, are vertical. A global win heatsink, a CAK** (don't really know anymore) fits the bill. But I wouldn't trust it ...

Innovatec has some passive ratiators (a tower of 50cm high) but you'll still need a pump.

and a pump is not really silent.

I know the solution.. hook your PC up to the fridge, 1 sound-source, problem solved

Can't you mod that heatpipe heatsink for the PIV and put it on your amd?

jmke · 3rd January 2004, 11:36

SP-94 ?

Looks interessting, but I'll think I will wait a few months and then buy a 64bit setup.
