Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

That's not what I said.

I said, the dust that's built up in the fins of his cooler will dramatically decrease the efficiency of the cooler.

Open air or not, clogged fins on the CPU cooler will raise temps.

Same as stopping the fan...

Gotch misread you

Still that and the open-ness will cancel it out

catch my drift?
 
By your logic, having an open case eliminates the need for fans?

The heatsink needs air to flow over the fins to effectively remove heat.

Even a passive heatsink will overheat a CPU if it gets clogged, on a totally open air case.

No, as you said and I agree, the heatsinks and components still need air circulating across them. But, even a totally solid heatsink will still disipate heat as long as there is airflow across it. There does not need to be fins/gaps to cool a chip. Its just that it is much more effective with fins.

So, basically we are both right :D

Draw:eek:

Edit: Anyways lets stop spamming the pic thread

That's simply not true.

CPU coolers need as much surface area as possible to optimize it's radiative effects.

Look at the swirly dusties on the Thermaltake.

I imagine your airflow is dramatically decreased because of it.

Btw, your sig says "push/pull". Where's your other fan?

It broke :( I suppose I should change my sig.

Just ordered a new Pioneer 22x sata drive (black) for cable management. Removes the Molex need totally so I can push it through the back like the PCIE Power for my gpu. Takes out the IDE Cable and generally cleans up the cables :)

I'll order another fan one day along with some compressed air for cleaning. :P

Oh.... and the case actually has no front door, It got loose and broke away lol.

I'll keep it like as is right now.

I've sprayed the interior black, taken out the HDD Cage, dremelled out the back 80 + added guard, dremeled out the front 120 and havent added a guard.

Dremeled out a 120 hole at the top and added a fan + added guard

LOL, I knew that pic would get a laugh. ;)

This is in the corner of my walkout basement, and to the left is the door to the backyard. The shotgun and spotlight are actually unrelated. There has been a fox after my chickens, already killed two, so I am ready for him. Had him in my sights once, but he is quick. The spotlight is just to see if I can spot what sets off the security light.
And yes, I need a new desk! :o I am currently looking for a black corner desk.
