Gateway XTREEEME cooling

loodamaris · 02-November-02, 10:20 PM

Well, earlier today, one of my friends called me up and said he had a nice, brand spanking new 512 meg stick of pc133 ram for my rig (current rig is shytty Gateway). So, of course, I say yes! Good deal - get $70 for free!
So...I open up my Flex ATX case with 90 watt PSU, flip up my CDRW drive, and OHMYGOD! My glorious P3 933 mhz is PASSIVELY COOLED! NO FAN! NOTHIN, except for this BLAZIN HOT black northbridge cooler! I almost have a heart attack - no wonder this thing sucks so much ass..
I am dead serious about this - I will post pics soon, once I actually recover from this and have installed the ram.

What is more amazing than a poorly cooled Gateway?

The fact that you spend 8 hrs a week here, and that is the first time you have had the side off your case!!!!

Come now, mine's worse off. Only 2 fans... PSU and 1 ****ty 120mm temp controlled by mobo... just a HS on both my CPU and my GPU... its insane I tell you.

Well, the thing was it was running fine, so I didn't really have any need to open up the case..parents had a lock on it anyway..one of those padlocks, so I couldn't open it.
Outcast, I have NO CASE FANS. Zilch, nada, zero, nothing.

BA - I tend to have CLMS - chronic lack of money syndrome..Once I get my new rig/case, have no doubt that I will become M0dd3r l33t! Well, maybe not, but I will at least mod the hell out of it..

I've seen mods costing little more than the price of a pizza and saran wrap....
