[V12|V12]

For passive cooling I just use a bunch of old SUN/HP server Heatsinks I chopped up to fit the Vregs, MOSFETS, and Caps if I ever notice they are hot. As for gluing, I use a mixture of AS-3 and some mild strength epoxy, depending on the ratio of epoxy to HS-compound. I did 1:2 and it was strong enough to hold firm, but is still removable if stressed hard. But nothing has come off, even with a purposeful bump to it. Water cooling all of those subcomponents, while innovative, seems like a waste, since a nice passive HS does WORLDs difference and since those components safe temp is WELLL WELL above what it would be w/o the HS, bleh, just add one glue, forget about them. What I have found to be the LOUDEST fan component in my comp is my PSU! I removed the noising and restrictive 80mm from it and now it's just a lone 92mm, which for some reason, while not running FULL RPM, it's still noisy. Much more so that the other 92s I have... I thought about maybe adding a thermistor so the fan will them run crazy loud ONLY when needed, but since it's the most vital part of my system, I can't be taking any chances with the PSU, cause if it has probs, it can destroy other components... Maybe I'll hook up the fan to a fanbus and manually control the temps based on the exhaust temps I get... Okay it's friday, too many posts, drinking time! WOOT
