ScORTED Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 After envying Stu's setup I realised I posted pics of my system, but never after I did the cable management. beforehttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/escortstreetracer/comp/DSCF2303.jpg afterhttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/escortstreetracer/comp/DSCF2011.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/escortstreetracer/comp/DSCF2012.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/escortstreetracer/comp/DSCF2013.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/escortstreetracer/comp/DSCF2014.jpg and my desk setup: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/escortstreetracer/comp/DSCF2016.jpghttp://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e105/escortstreetracer/comp/DSCF2015.jpg still need to upgrade from the OEM cooler and my cheap non modular PSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithyandco Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 For CPU cooling, I can't recommend these enough! http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?...=8-7276700249-4 I've got an Intel Core2Duo sat here, slightly overclocked (~2.33Ghz clocked to ~2.50Ghz) which never goes more than 1-2c over the case temp. They support anything from a P4/Celeron (775) to I7's (even modern AMD setups). On PWM they barely audible. On full they sound like a quiet 120mm fan... Nice looking setup by the way... Might have to upload a few shots of my "now outdated" builds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I was going to get a titan fenrir as they were the cooler of the moment when i built my pc but they seem to have died out. are thos freezer 7s that good though? they seem very cheapI did fit one to a customers pc once at his request but i didn't think anything good or bad about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caled Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 What is it with you lot all of a sudden with your PCs?! By the looks of it, the PCs you lot are using to view these forums are worth more than most user's cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 think that says more about the cars... that said the money I spent would buy a half decent car. I work in IT and do an engineering degree so it pays to have a decent pc (this is total overkill though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to upload a few shots of my "now outdated" builds... Ive just fitted one of those to my dual core Pentium, and using the fan speed controller on the Speedfan program you can make it near inaudible and it was still idling at 33c, great cooling at low speeds and its cheap as chips, a world away from my previous Cooler Master unit in terms of noise.

smithyandco Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ive just fitted one of those to my dual core Pentium, and using the fan speed controller on the Speedfan program you can make it near inaudible and it was still idling at 33c, great cooling at low speeds and its cheap as chips, a world away from my previous Cooler Master unit in terms of noise.I originally bought it for a Pentium D 930 (dual core/die ~3.0Ghz) which sat at 65-70c idle on a correctly fitted, stock 775 Intel cooler... with the Freezer 7 Pro it sat at 35-40c idle on PWM (CPU/Board controlled fan speed). It only whispers at full wack also... That Pentium D is now in my media centre and the Freezer 7 Pro didn't fit the case (full height HTPC case... 2-3cm thinner than a normal full-ATX case) so I've slapped a Coolermaster Vortex Plus on it...http://www.2dayblog.com/images/2010/april/vortexplus_1.jpg It currently idles around 45c... and the Cooler master was £10 more than the Artic Cooling... Looking at replacing that Cooler Master with a Artic Cooling HTPC solution as the reviews on the Freezer 7 LP (HTPC version of the Pro) seem to suggest its better than the Vortex which will help keep it controlled under load.

scottg17 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Im not keen on that flat OEM style coolers, they exhaust all of the dissipated heat back into the case where as the like of the freezer 7 you could have an exhaust fan.. Cable management looks tidy though! I think one of my future upgrades will be a case with better cable management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 its mostly down to the case, I've done some fairly neat things with cheap cases for customers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
