how hot does it get

Attached: guts.jpg (1632x1224, 250K)

There is a fan in the middle of the heatsink (similar to your pic in a way)

It's an annoying size, 80 mm but thinner than normal so very difficult to find, so of course it's making a rattling noise

checked

that's a pain in the ass, if all else fails you could zip tie a normal fan to it

This is a Dell 450 MHz Pentium 2 board with matching PSU since they swap around a couple wires on the power connector so using a standard PSU will fry it. I put in

Aliexpress actually seems to have a bunch of them, mostly from Delta
I'll just need to measure it first and I just cannot be arsed to take the cooler out

Oh also 512 MB RAM because Win98 starts to have problems with more than that, and because I found a pair of 256 MB DIMMs that work in it before reading in the manual that its max is 3 sticks of 128 making 384 MB.

Nice little 1997 build.

The drive is dead and I can't be arsed to remove it. The machine is running off the CF adapter at the rear of the case which the floppy power connector is going to.

Do I spy, with my little eye, a VooDoo 5500? Classy.

You spy correctly. Found it in an Athlon rig that was going to get scrapped.

Those "Passive" CPU heatsinks were designed with ATX 1.0 PSUs in mind, which had a fan pointing downwards with reversed airflow compared to modern PSUs.
I hope you're not running that CPU passively, because it's going to cook itself without such a PSU.

It's runs stable at a substantial undervolt. It doesn't even get hot enough to be painful if you touch it under load.
I considered attaching a fan but it just doesn't get toasty enough to justify it.

I have that case, still original with the original P2 233MHz inside. There's only one thing I dislike about PCs that age: the headache-inducing sound of 5600rpm HDDs.

SATA is nearly 20 years old, greenman.

The one with chubby plastic side panels? Thing has no flat surfaces. No reset button either which irks me. I want to add one, on the ledge inside when you remove the cover to reveal the 2 normal 5.25" bays.

I hate how much the HDD noise resonates inside it. It's a 7200 RPM drive and it makes enough rumble. The way the front bezel fits on seems to make it worse. If I press on that it gets quieter.

PCIe too. What are you making with SATA and PCIe that isn't just a modern PC but slower?

The same could be said of using x86 chips. It's the same shit, just slower

Cheaper baby version of 750D rolling through.

When you get back to the 80s to mid 90s, you run into compatibility issues. Games that run way too fast on a newer CPU, things that need Voodoo or more exotic video cards, OPL3 sound or Roland if you like wavetable MIDI in DOS... You can do a lot of this with DOSBox but it still doesn't work with some games, and requires fiddling to fix glitches like cracking audio in others.

>vertical mounted CPU cooler
Wtf, man

The Cooler Master Hyper only mounts that way on the AM3+ socket, but it's a fantastic cooler, great performance and you don't have to use that backplate that's a pain in the ass.

As much as I dislike modern cases, the vertical GPU thing is cool because your card won't do this.

>using the GPU display slot that puts the intake for it right up against the window

Use a support. The vertical mount chokes the fans.

took out the window so its not blocking the intake

>running your case open
Kek

What case is that?

It's actually a 4U rackmount server case with some rubber feet.
I used to have the exact manufacturer name and model written down but I can't find it anymore, sorry, google "black 4u case door" and you'll find similar cases.

That's a G5 alrite, with a G4 next to it, sadly I don't have it anymore.

What a cute box

I added some fans yesterday. Of course it's just a temporary setup, to check if everything fits.

Nice rads, now you can cool a 9900K at stock.

And it's cooling this.

pretty cool

Depends. It's only an 4790k, delidded and bare die, and an RX480, so there's not a whole lot of heat.
I could only run two fans yesterday, don't want to blow my fan header out. Waiting for a powered fan splitter to arrive.
So with about 300 watts being dumped into the loop the water temp was about 2C above room temp. CPU got about 20-25C over that. GPU got up to about 8-10 degrees over water temp. So basically, 45 on the CPU, 30 on the GPU. It's way overkill, but I still need to see how well it works after I can run all four fans and seal the gaps between rads and fans.

W-Why did you do that?! That's ridiculous cooling for those parts!
I guess future proofing the cooling is a good idea though, specially if you want to stick to Intel kek.

What amperage are the fans? Modern fans like Noctuas are like 0.10A, you could literally have 10 of them on one fan header, since motherboard headers are usually rated for 1A.

Very nice temps though, you could get some nice OC with that if you win the silicon lottery also.

It's a hobby. Also like you said, future proofing. Just having a nice little cabinet on wheels that can cool whatever parts I throw at it, quietly. I've previously spent ridiculous amounts on "traditional" third party CPU and GPU heatsinks as well. Fans too. Probably got like 40-50 fans I don't even use besides testing them and writing a short review. So why not give watercooling a go...
>OC
The CPU is bench stable at 5GHz with like 1.4V, and daily stable at 4.9GHz, at the same voltage. GPU I haven't really tortured with the new cooling yet, but I've logged some runs at 1560MHz. It's just that coil whine at those clocks becomes unbearable. Temps still stay fine and don't break 60.
>fans
They're AP181 fans. I like having a bit of headroom. 0.54a per fan, as they're large fans, and go up to 1200RPM.

what sorts of goodies are you storing away?

>the hard drive is obviously not plugged in

You might be too young to know this; computers used to be able to boot without harddrives.

Dolphin porn, lots of it.

unironically good taste

well... they still can
plus the CompactFlash card adapter is obviously visible

>computers used to be able to boot without harddrives
I'm older than you, and the pic shows it booted from C:

Lasted 6 years of pretty heavy use with traveling, gaming, lanparties and the ocational walk outside. And probably dropped 50 times to the floor.

Yeah Z77 was the newest to look like that, 32nm and 22nm Ultra durable and Asus CPU mobos had the best aesthetic.
