MDD Dual 1.42 Cooling


i've noticed seems lot of folks pile fans mdds.

has been opinion stock mdd cooling design efficient, main(big) case fan positioned right next cpu heatsink , having direct front-to-back path airflow.

dual 1.42 bought had been afflicted "fanitis" , had bunch of fans piled in it. think these hindered airflow, weren't secured laying around in case(two stacked in secondary ata bay). made 1 heck of racket-much more reputably loud stock mdd.

using computer last night , got fed it, pulled fans , took down stock cooling. granted, i'm not running overly hot gpu, still have hottest-running factory cpu(and corresponding copper heatsink).

spent while last night in leopard both cores pegged near 100% of time. cpu card never went on 120ºf, me plenty cool-especially given it's more in need of repaste. ran cooler did fans piled in there. after shut down, checked heatsink , cool touch.

sits, computer has wd 500gb ata hdd, , had older ibm deskstar("deathstar") in there experimental purposes. it's running stock radeon 9000 , has usb card. there 2 optical drives.

if wanted push limits, fans might serve purpose. know-for example-that necessity many cpu upgrades such infamous dual 1.8 have in quicksilver.

otherwise, though, i'm content how computer runs stock cooling. i'll re-evaluate after install x800, don't expect huge change.
 

when had mine (mdd dual 1.42) years ago replaced them damn noisy fans after market higher flow quieter fans worked me. lowered temperatures little bit real bonus no more vacuum cleaner sound on fan ramp when starting or under load.
