![]() - First Water cooled workstation in 2004 - These page is about my efforts to make my own 'HomeBuilt' PC-Computers as quiet as possible. I also make som misstakes and other 'discoveries' along the way. Used parts / equipment ====================== Arctic Cooling Silentium T1 Miditower Cabinett Silver/Black With standard 350W Powersupply WaterChill CPU Cooling kit Entry Kit KT03-L20/220v Motherboard : ASUS CPU : AMD AthlonXP 3200+ @2200Mhz Memory : Kingston ValueRAM PC3200 512Mb NoECC HardDisk : Maxtor 6Y080P0 (80,0GB) Grafic : MSI NVIDA GeForce FX5200 128Mb Measured temperatures ====================== CPU Temp : 37dgrC normal 41dgrC max HDD Temp : 34dgrC normal 39dgrC max Motherboard : 29dgrC normal 33dgrC max Measured voltage data ====================== Vcore : 1.70V -12V : -16.97V +3,3V : 3.30V -5V : -8.78V +5V : 4.95V +12V : +12.10V Measured noice ====================== 12-16 dB MaxAbout the PC-Cabinet The 'Arctic Cooling Silentium T1' is a 'medium' quality PC-Cabinet, it is equiped with a NON-Standard powersupply with 350Watt maximum output power. I think this is on the low-end if as in my case used with AMD HI-Power consuming processors. Maby it would be a better idea to use this PC-Case with Intel based setup's. However, i like the AMD Processor because it's a good payback when it comes to performance for the money i spend. Conclusion Shure! The computer is werry quiet but this way is mutch to expensive! You get almost the same result with the low-noice powersupply and a good cupper based CPU-heatsink, or maby a with a heatpipe CPU-Heatsink. ![]() The complete installation, side view 1 ![]() The complete installation, side view 2 ![]() Rear side, 'BackIce' Pro 1x120 - Radiator Also read about my Updated Water cooled PC in 2005 And my Water cooled PC-Server @ home Details of my water cooled ATX Powersupply <-- Go Back! ![]() ©1999/2000/2001/2002 SM2YER Goran |
