CLICK FOR MORE INFO AND TESTS! This is a video of how I have my air cooled PC set up. Normally, the 6400BE runs pretty hot as it is, and to get any sort of overclock on this 90nm chip, you need to pump tons of voltage into it, which of course results in more heat. With this setup, not only does my cpu stay cooler than some watercooled setups, but all other components inside my computer stay cool as well. For example, my video cards stay 15-20 degrees cooler than they did with my previous setup. I went from a 70C average load temp to a 50C average load temp. That's pretty significant. (PS Near the end of the video, I say, "When I set it to stock cooling, it runs 20C idle and 30C load." What I MEANT to say was, "When I set it to stock SETTINGS". Sorry. But I didn-t feel like re shooting the entire video just to change that.)

And this is AMD's top dual core chip, so you can imagine how much heat it generates! But this setup cools it perfectly. I have been able to reach the overclock limits of my cpu, and still have another 10C of temperature to play with before it hits the danger zone of 60C!

Nov 17, 2008 - no the low pressure thing is what I'm talking about, if you have a gpu with a fan that blows air out the gpu has to fight for more air to cool down, your setup is fine just you need one more intake fan to create positive pressure and give your gpu fan a break. :) (but i didn't see your gpu so I'm just saying for now) XP
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 17, 2008 - That makes no logical sense what so ever. The GPU fan's don't "fight for air". In fact, being low powered fans, and being exhaust fans, they would actually be pulling in FRESH air over their heatsinks, and warm air out the back. That's the entire premise of a low pressure case. You pull in fresh air from every opening that isn't an exhaust. This means more cool air circulates through a negative pressure case than a positive pressure case.
gainpro Escribio:
Nov 17, 2008 - the part where the paper was sticking to the side vent shows that there is too much air being pulled out showing your intake can't bring in enough air and limits how much can be moved out too, so sense gpu's also pushes air out it has less available air to use for itself... but this doesn't matter if your not gonna overclock your gpu. btw even Rodney from 3dgamerman knows this.
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 17, 2008 - Again, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The goal of a low pressure case is to pull in fresh, cold air from EVERY opening, not just fan intakes. This is why low pressure will cause the paper to stick to the vent. Now, imagine cold, fresh air moving into the case from EVERY little crack. If it was a high pressure case, you'd have warm, internal air move past all those cracks. That is why negative pressure cools better than positive pressure. Even Rodney knows that.
gainpro Escribio:
Nov 17, 2008 - again "I" "am" talking about gpu cooling... your cooling is only your cpu etc... and yes i know that negative pressure actually makes air cool but in your case not very... and again just that your vid says "best air cooling" but you leave out the gpu cooling... i know it may not be necessary for you but the best cooling is to cool all your parts very well... positive pressure... this is for the common gamer who should go with a faster hotter gpu and not an insanely expensive and/or hot cpu.
gainpro Escribio:
Nov 17, 2008 - oh btw the slight warmth caused by +pressure can be fixed with... =O an air conditioner in the room... wow prob fixed oh my! in order for it too be too warm is when your comp is inside a large piston...
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 18, 2008 - Again, that simply isn't true. And I'm going to prove it to you. I'm going to reconfigure my fans in order to create a high pressure case. I will take idle and load temps of my GPU's with a low pressure, and a high pressure flow, and I will post a video of the results in a few days.
gainpro Escribio:
Nov 18, 2008 - hahaha i wasn't born yesterday dude... i know what faking is. i wasn't arguing with you btw, thats just too below me to argue with a stubborn, arrogant, antisocial ass. you can't even prove this cause your comp "wait wait what is it again?" "oooh yaaa! SUUUCKS!" remember what i say "your cooling is good for your setup! but keep the fuck in mind that your comp is shit and obviously not current, up to date hardware!your fucking talking like you own shit loads of high tech shit! btw im done so stfu
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 18, 2008 - Whoooa whoa! Where did that come from? We're talking about computers, and now you're personally attacking me? What is that about? Listen man, I've been working with computers for over 10 years. I run a side business building and repairing computers. I assure you, I know what I'm talking about. If you can provide proof of concept to support your theory, god ahead. But regardless, I'll be posting a video myself to see which of us is right.

Nov 18, 2008 - the amd cpu u have uses more than 400 watts why not get a new generation cpu cuz heat is a problem anyway great vid and gainpro STFU
ganymedeIV4 Escribio:
Nov 18, 2008 - lemme just come in here and lay out the truth. A.) both you guys are missing out on one of the biggest heat producers inside a computer. Your mainboard. b.) you guys are missing your north bridge south bridge c.) Negative pressure inside a computer case is better although extremely hard to achive. if your fan is able to suck a piece of paper against it then that just means its a bad ass fan not a negative pressure inside the computer case.
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 18, 2008 - *shakes his head* Have you ever actually BUILT a computer? Achieving a low pressure case is extremely easy. All you need is to have more air being sucked out than being blown in. So, if you have more fans which blow air out than in, you will have a negative pressure case. It's extremely elementary science.
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 18, 2008 - Actually, the 6400BE uses 89 watts. However, my entire computer on a whole probably uses 400 to 500 watts, so I guess that's what you meant. Now, I would get a next gen CPU, but I have no need for one yet. I have not yet found a game or program which doesn't run to my satisfaction on this system. When I do build a new computer, it will be a quad core with Vista 64. But for now, I am happy playing Oblivion and Warhammer Online on my current PC.
CRAKIZGOOD Escribio:
Nov 18, 2008 - the i7 i coming soon a 920 costs about 320 dollars and very easy to overclock to 4ghz and just change the mounting plates of ur true + which amd cpu was using about 300+ watts i forgot
CRAKIZGOOD Escribio:
Nov 18, 2008 - the nb ? how many watts my nb is about on my 780i 37 c the gpu is the biggest heat producer
ganymedeIV4 Escribio:
Nov 18, 2008 - North bridge 37C is the tempature of the north bridge itself. but everything and the entire board itself puts out heat. just place your hand on the back of the board after it's been playing day of defeat after a hour. quite hot. with poor cooling you can actually cause the chips and others to "creep" off of the board then when it cools it'll loose its connection. A-la what happens when you turn your computer off and it never turns back on.

Nov 18, 2008 - fuck you man, that computer is awesome.
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 19, 2008 - Yeah, boards these days are getting crazy eh? I mean, 5 years ago, the idea of water cooling the NB would be ludicrous. But now it's almost a necessity! I'm using the Asus Crosshair, which has some fancy looking heat sinks/pipes around the caps and bridges. So far with this setup, I haven't had to tinker with the board voltages to get a stable OC. I DID tinker with them initially, but eventually concluded I didn't need to for stability. A bump to the vcore worked fine.
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 19, 2008 - Heh heh, hells yeah man! I like it! Sure, it may a year old. But so what, right? I mean, if I decide my computer isn't powerful enough, I'll buy a new one. But there's no sense upgrading until then, right?
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 19, 2008 - The GPU produces the highest TEMPERATURES, but the CPU's generally put out more thermal energy. However, in recent years, things have reversed! Now, we have incredibly tiny process CPU's, and very little heat produced. Since we have essentially "perfected" our CPU's, now the market is finally, FINALLY turning their ears to the gaming community. And THAT'S why we can once again hook multiple GPU's together, just like we could in the old VoodooII days.

Nov 19, 2008 - newer core 2 quads us between 100 and 200 watts dtx 280 and the 4870's use between 300 and 400 watt the 4870x2 uses between 400 and 500 watts a pc without and gpu can run with almost 300 watts..... + the gpu gives out more heat and im sure of that
CRAKIZGOOD Escribio:
Nov 19, 2008 - but a pc with a quad and a embedded gpu only need about 300 watts and thats not alot
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 19, 2008 - That's true. In fact, the majority of computer users out there have a power supply which is totally overkill. For example, I have a 700 watt power supply, but my system probably only uses about 450-500 watts. So, why did I even BUY a 700 watt power supply? Well, I bought it because I got a really good deal on it. *laughs*
sucklava Escribio:
Nov 20, 2008 - yeah man, no matter how old, that setup is awesome
brokenjohnny Escribio:
Nov 17, 2008 - Actually, my GPU temps dropped 15C after I set the fans up this way. Right now, with all my fans on low, my GPU's are idling at 50C. When I had the standard front to back flowing case, it idled in the mid 60'S.
