View Full Version : Silent Running
anyone know of a supplier of water cooled power supplies.
300 or 350 watt atx should do it.
i have been searching for quite some time now, and all i can find
is one in a complete kit with case, unfortunatly it only supports a t-bird up to 1000, mine is a 1400, also they wanted the excessive price of $695 plus shipping.
tia
it would be nice to get rid of this last internal fan
I belive most people that want this have to go the DIY route. It's not that hard if you have watercooling experience. I sure someone on the boards could give you more detailed instructions.
i just looked inside the spare psu, 2 large heatsinks
um... er ?
so has anyone know how to water cool a psu

hmm im not 100% sure the big silver things are heatsinks.... well in mine at least they dont appear to be attached to any electronics.....
my silver things are mat black, but that is unimportant
so what i need is water cooled silver things
it would prefer copper colored but silver would be ok
:rolleyes:
do you think that i could use mother board coolers in the psu ?

Seems kind of unnecessary to me. But if you're dead set on it, you could probably therm-epoxy a couple chipset waterblocks to the big silver heatsinks inside the PSU.
yea
i supose that might work, glueing watercooled things to the heatsinks should cool them enough, but what about those hot chips and transformers in the psu, wont they go pop with no fan

Maybe if you took the cover off the PSU and the sides off your case and just let air flow through?

They are heatsinks!
Attached to the regulators!

I don't think there will be enough air circuation
I kinda like the watterblock Idea, But the regulators will
proboably get hotter like that (unless you have a large
waterblock)
Dont forget the main transformer a watter jacket should do.
(Dont want it to melt :cool:!)
