is that 40nm fan loud?

40nm eh? thats probably inaudible for any living creature. But just for reference, you can't hear X-Rays or Gamma Rays

is that 40nm fan loud?

The odd thing is, for the most part the bigger the fans get, the quieter they get.

Usually because they spin slower, what with the bigger blades they no-longer need to spin as fast as smaller fans to do more work.

I got an old PC chips amd cpu fan here winding up at 5900rpm....its kinda noisy but throw air around like shit...ill maybe use it as emergency cooling flip the switch and watch out the temp dropping

what happens when you have a brand new JVC amp+700w Silverstone PSU+cheapo random speakers?
well this doesn't sound half bad for high's and mids
I already blew 1 sub with this setup lol can't wait to get it in my car with my DVC 12" Alpine sub or kenwood (not sure if i want the Alpine of Kenwood)

Gonna do ghetto mod on my southbridge chipset soon. Got no pic for now but i will use a socket 370 cpu heatsink and modify it to replace my SB heatsink. Big ass heatsink and wont need a fan !
Is it better to remove the black paint on the bottom for heat transfer or leave it there ????

just leave it unless you want to spend the time to lap it. IMHO it isn't worth the time.

My PSU modding

Just have cut, shortened and taped wires.

1-I opened the PSU, cut some molex at the source and some sata too.

2-Removed the 120mm fan and shoot lubricant in the engine to stop the noise and make it turn free with almost zero friction. Who says friction says need more energy and more energy means more heat. Fan RPM raise and cycle start back again.

3-Put back the fan and the cover

4-For the remaining wires calculated the good length for proper cable management and cut the wires. Removed the length I needed and put back wires together by twisting it and just used electrical tape. You could also solder it but I'm damn good in wires twisting. (Learned the Russian army technique over the web). Sounds odd but at -45 celcius in the blistering cold you dont have the time to let the soldering heat especially in war time.

5-Put electrical tape on all wires to make sleeves or sleeve it the way you want

Heres the result:

SB too hot-Problem solved

I got this air duct from a broken HP Pavillion P3 700mhz. Cut the hole at the bottom, fix the air duct, plug in the fan and here it is. Maybe should installed some rubber stand to adjust the height of the case and bottom airflow.

SB too hot-Problem solved

^^ did you take the sink off first and check if there is enough thermal paste underneath ?) I've pulled couple SB sink just to find a tiny drop only covering half the chip and one of the motherboards was ASUS. (but they do still get hot )

 

[MohawkAngel]

Board almost new and guys around told me its normal but still i wwanna cool it down.

I would cut some notches in the bottom of that air duct.

With the bottom of the case being solid, and the duct being flat, the fan is starving (pulling directly from the floor) as it sits. Cutting some of the plastic away will allow for the fan to breathe

The fan is sucking from bottom not blowing at the bottom So the notches are not necessary and not wanted because i want fresh air not sucking hot air also from inside the case because ou the notches

 

[sneekypeet]

I corrected while you were quoting

even if the fan isnt pulling from there, it will have better air flow if the air that the fan is pushing has a place to go. How much air flows when you blow into a closed fist? Not saying its mandatory, but it would help to allow flow on both ends of the duct

 

[MohawkAngel]

fan goes at 3500rpm at 1 inch and 1.5 inches at some places from the mobo so it just simply throw air on both nb and sb. and air coming from the front fan also the ram air of the side panel right onto the cpu. Air sucked out by the psu and a back panel 80mm fan.

Good one But it's ghetto modding not Redneck modding

+1 for cell phone pics, sorry.

This is my ghetto mod, a shitty HP 350 watt OEM psu running a 700w blue wave pyles amp, running 2 12" 800w kenwoods.

oh and my JVC radio being used as a mid-range notes and solid bass notes and my el cheapo's by my shitty monitor being used for high pitched solid trebles.

Thanks to p_o_s_pc for instructions!
