Yesterday I decided to run my PC w/ no fans on (except the PSU and northbridge fan which i left pluged it)...my comp lasted 10 min before it hit 60 deg and my BIOS shut if down...
LESSONS LEANRED
1. When an ABIT board shuts ur comp down because the temps are too high, the 2 toned siren doesnt stop
2. my PSU is the loudest part of my system|Enlight 420 W
3. my HDD is the 2nd loudest |WD Caviar
4. An all copper heatsink with no fan running for 10 min can burn you (even at only 60deg C)
5. BIOS thermal protection works
