cooling

I've been thinking about developing a device that would completely silence fans by turning them off when the computer is idle. This would allow the components to be cooled actively when they are under load and passively while idle, and would be useful mostly in larger systems around 7 L in...

Hello all! I would like to ask about thermal pad aging- how do I know if a thermal pad is old enough to be useless? Also, if my thermal pad is flaky (such as the one stuck to the back of the 13MP camera on my (backside opened) Xperia X), will it still be effective as a thermal pad? Thanks! -el01

UPDATE: Renders of the current version (45% finished): List of changes: - Size: This is now a 17.3 inch machine! So the width got reduced by 30 mm and depth by 20 mm which means less volume. To make this possible the inner layout had to be changed (pictures will follow when model is...

Hey all, currently planning to build an HTPC in my retired Xbox One. Thing is, what I noticed is that while the top panel has a vent for airflow, it's located towards the front half of the chassis and only appears small enough in diameter for the 112mm cooler that came with the Xbone. Assuming...

Hi, posted this elsewhere as well but wanted a broad opinion range. In the past, I bought an AXP-100 Muscle and used it. It's a damn awkward cooler, but it cooled an overclocked (4.5) G3258 well for a side spare build and worked just fine for what it was, temps were good too, nothing to be...
