Found HUGE heatsink

Yuriman · Jun 26, 2003

I was looking through skycraft, and in the very back corner I found a buncha heatsinks. Some were for computers, some were unknown. In the unknown section, i found a huge alu heatsink, somewhere around 20cm/14cm, and at least 10cm high. Anybody have any overkill ideas?

think about what you're saying before it comes out of your mouth

I like the hood ornament idea. Seriously though, How about the top of a hard drive? I just don't know where you would mount the drive.

Oh, yeah!!!

Anybody have any overkill ideas?

I might have a few:

PS

the top two 120's are now removed: they did almost nil for temps
the side 2x 120 and front 1x 120 are all on very low speeds cuz, well, other wise I'll get cold and deaf sitting next to it!

N8

I'll betcha I could find a way to make it fit on a CPU. May not be worth it due to thickness of base of such a large HS, though

I really don't know HOW, but if you run two disks in a raid 0, it might be a good option for some cooling solution.

passive cpu cooling!

Its half as big as my case! Hmm.. anyone thinking southbridge cooler?

Neo Demi · Jun 26, 2003

if you have room put a couple of your harddrives on th bottom of your case, and sit it on top. then they are surrounded by metal to sink teh heat away, the metal bottom, and the hs. maybe even make a fan bracket to suspend a fan above it.

or you could hack it to bits and make lotsa smaller heatsinks. plus it give you an excuse to use some power tools

that is large...

i like the forehead idea... need to keep your own head cool as well as ur pc ya know... for those frustrating windows experiences...

I say take a picture first, then let us decide.

MassiveOverkill · Jun 26, 2003

Just overkill, or a Massive Overkill?

Mr.Guvernment · Jun 26, 2003
