In my friends' computer. Packard-Bell mini-tower, with two fans intake/exhaust, with old box AMD HS/F, Gigabyte 7ZX SDRAM mobo. Fan is not spinning, temps are about 65° at full load.

Kul :cool: :D

You can run pretty much any modern processor without a fan if you declock it 200 mhz or so. :p

I have a friend who had his XP 1800+ (at stock :eek: ) and he uses a Volcano 7+ HSF.. well, we turned on his machine, played MOHAA at a LAN for around 3 hrs, then played some JK2 then decided to burn a cd... after all that, he got a BSOD, rebooted, then wouldnt find NTLDR.... he said some bad words :rolleyes: then decided to re-install windows XP.... wouldnt do it.. so he took the side off his cxase.. looked at the Volcano 7+.. went :confused: plugged the fan in, and turned the speed to medium. the fan wasnt plugged into the speed controller.. and he didnt have software monitoring his temps... XP1800+ running with no fan, pure Cu HS and no case fans, except PSU...

Did you guys happen to touch the HSF to see how hot it was before you plugged the fan back in??? Just curious.

That only worked because copper can absorb so much heat. If he left it without the fan long enough, it would eventually toast iteself, because the heat is given off by the processor at a much faster rate than it's released by the fanless heatsink

nah.. didnt touch it, but his motherboard (GA-7VRXP) has the overheating protection enabled at 85°C.. so it wasnt that hot yet...

And who says AMD chips need a fan. :p

Did anyone see that link where they cooked eggs on the cpu?

The next step would be to have the CPU's heat drive a generator so that it could run off its own thermal dissipation, in conjunction with some solar panels. :D :x

I promise to give my thought to this idea of yours ;)

if you ran some really bright lights from your PSU (eg - with an invertor or sumfin) then you could stick the solar pannels in the case and with a window in the side, it would look awesome:x :x

...And use the fan wind to drive an alternate turbine generator!

but if the cooling is driven by heat, when the cooling turns on, it will turn off, because it is cooling what is powering it. :x.

No, no no... the EXHAUST fans to keep it from OVERheating!

Yes, but what about the turbine ? :eek:
