Hello,
Some of you may have followed my other threads about my epic journey of me trying to make a heatsink. You were also probably wondering exactly what it looked like. Well here are some pictures for the benifiet of those people, but anyone else with questions or comments please chime in...
but before you do, please read these threads because it covers much of the "performace" aspects:
Is this a possibility?
When something works, don't touch it!
Here are a few pictures of it sitting alone. You can see the CD in the background for a size comparison.
Here is a picture of my oversized powersupply fan which I installed which would also blow air across the CPU heatsink. It would turn at low RPMs and still blow enough air because it is so big. I also removed the back fan and the grill from the powersupply for less air resistance.
This is the LED display that displays the (main) fan speed setting that the potentiometer (not visible) controls. It was working, but I think i screwed something up, so now only the controler works, and not the display. It can either do a line (from the bottom up) or just one LED lit to show how fast the fan is spinning.
Thats all for now, but if you have any questions, please ask. I'll be gone for a few days, so I might not be able to respond right away. (depends if i'm near a comp)
Thanks for you intrest!
Will
