    The best cooling

    What cooling solutions work best for your PCs? I have a fan in the front and 3 exhaust fans in the back, and I'm wondering if this is abnormal to need such cooling equipment.

    Here's a link to a post I made a few days ago with links to pics of an Oak case I made, the case alone has 3-90mm and 2-120mm fans. When I put everything in, it will also have the PSU, Slot A Athlon Golden Orb, another 90mm blowing on the gorb, and a socket7 heatsink/fan on the video card

    Thanks Barney It's been a long day!

    nunyadam...is that all? 15 assorted fans here. Seriously there are alot of arguments for intake vs exaust ect. Best you can do is find out what works best for you. I wouldnt call 4 fans abnormal.

    Oops 16 forgot the chipset fan

    Compared to some of the hardcore overclockers, nothing we can do is abnormal. On www.overclockers.com , it's not uncommon to see some of them coating the processor with copper, putting multiple peltiers on a processor, putting the computer in a freezer, using liquid nitrogen, submerging the computer in mineral oil, etc. Air cooling is kind of tame compared to what I've read on there.
