:roll: Mom stop frying those potatoes and bring me that damned oil!
Isnt it conductive?

I dont think its a good idea... also it isnt that cooling...
and.. the processor hes using, does not generate many heat either..
ehh I would slap those guys head.. or tap them maybe
I have my own methods of cooling which I WONT SHARE yet.

Aight but this guys are sad to me.. MY Idea of cooling down a system, is for a "life time" and not to overclock like a jerk to see how much does the poor hardware support .....
Sad
(im talking mostly about:

The oil stuff is much too messy.. imagine you have to take the thing apart and change a few components..
To me, it is all about the noise.. and the fun

HAhahaah Freak!! that PSU!!!, Im sure that cooler is not intended for PC usage, right?, where did you get it from?

I cant promise I'll put one of those in mine, because that means a nice big circle at the top of my case! (and already have one), but I might think about it.
About the noisy part, I cant cheer you up in that subject, as you might know, I work a lot close to my PC and its already way noisy with the couple of fans I put it.. and they are not those cheap ones.. (although im getting a couple of aluminium ones, which changes the color depending on the temperature of the airflow

) anyway the less noise, the better to me!.
I will gift you a CO2 big bottle so you can blow that dust away

oh... 240 volts? here we have up to 230v... hmm is that because of a precatution or just because you guys got over-peaks up to 230v at germany?

of course 220v is the common but artifacts supports up to 230v the majority (here..) sup with the 10volts?
220v = god
110v = gay
May I ask if thats an acuarium pump?
(I know from experience that the pump shouldnt be very powerful, but also not too weak, and acuarium ones sometimes are way too powerful, for example.. a pump for 500l/h is nice for this kind of stuff).
That cooler is nice for chopping sausages eh!

230v (ac/dc) is standard in germany (used to be 220 but changed quite some time ago).
The range goes from 207 to 244v ( -10% / +6%)

Now this cant stay like this.. I want 240v as standard for my country now!

If that ever happens.. germany will want 250v.. and so on, till we can hear the electricity coming from the walls, and the artifacts works even if they are unplugged! (that could happen with fuel for example, if you put an engine in a petrol gas chamber, the engine might remain working even if you shut it down, and same happens with electricity, its possible to charge up batteries with out plugging them to the charger - yes its possible - ).

But why im changing the subject?... UP WITH THE BIG COOLERS!! Down with 110v!!

The big fan must have been part of some big machine.. dunno really, boutght it for 5 euros somewhere.
I have another one here, you want it ?
They are disigned for 24V (and make a LOT of noise, but also much wind)
I am runnig it at 3.5V, so no more noise. However, at that voltage, it doesn't start up!
So in the first days, i had to *manually* start the fan after starting the computer

That obviously is too dangerous (imagine you forget that), so it now gets 7V for just a few moments, then 3.5 all the way.
The pump is from a water cooling set. (The base set for the CPU i bought on ebay, the rest i built myself)

Oh I like building myself everything! (and at the end it costs about twice.. but doesnt matter! the joy of doing it yourself is unbeatable!). Well.. the dremel does a big part for me :p .. But If I could cut with my teeth..
