  1. Or use a big fan by mparaz · · Score: 1 · on A Fanless Graphics Card from ASUS
    Or use a big fan like the Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 (Rev 2) (review with pics) with "Direct Heat Exhaust System" (DHES):


    The DHES draws cool air from inside the case and exhausts warm air outwards. This prevents the fan from recycling warm air to cool the GPU, which increases cooling performance. Further the DHES lowers the air temperature inside the case, because the heat of the GPU will be carried out directly.

  8. Pentium M boards and Turion Chipsets by mparaz · · Score: 1 · on AMD Launches Turion Mobile Processor

    Those are boards with chipsets for Pentium M "Dothan."

    Here's a review for the DFI 855GME-MGF

    VIA announced a Turion chipset - for laptops. I'm curious as to what Socket these use (754? 939?) - no mention on the sites I've read.

  9. Peltier and high-end air cooling by mparaz · · Score: 2, Informative · on Asetek's Extreme CPU Cooler Tested

    No one has mentioned Peltier cooling yet? It looks like that works on the same principles.

    For the rest of us with hot CPUs or want silence... there's the Thermalright SI-97 for Socket A (AMD) boards, and Thermalright XP-90 for sockets 478/775 (Intel) and 754/939 (AMD).

    Perhaps they have to switch to cooler processors or make modifications to CPU heatsinks.

    The article is just a simple summary... check out Silent PC Review for really in-depth coverage.

    Some hardware review sites are dedicated to cooling equipment. One of them is Pimp My Rig.

    Personally, I replaced my Intel stock fan with the Thermalright XP-90 + Panaflo 92mm L1A.
