ok guys heres the dealio my old 233 is getting warm no or days so here is what i have planned i have 3 fans and one has a round end to hook the tubing into and i will have another fan to push the air in and down and out to the fan on the case which in turn will blow right onto the HSF and cool it off. Yes this project is almost done im getting the tubing (actually its dryer ducting but it all works either way )tomorrow as well as my web cam.

i scanned the idea on paper and what i have so far

FYI

That should keep it a couple degrees cooler! Sounds similar to what Dell uses. I thought about doing something like that with clear tubing, but never got around to it. Now that summer's coming up, my temps are getting higher, so maybe it's time to revisit the idea!

Keep us posted!

i sure will this is one mod that going to get done and to others just don't pop in and out plz give me some feed back guys comeone i can take it!!!

and i can give rep points once the PR server allows me too so just keep that in mind
hint hint

So basically it's a Duct mod?

I'm surprised the Pentium 1 is overheating..I thought they didn't make a lot of heat!

What are your temps at now?

Most p233s can run passive

Yeah, but you have to put a heatsink on them.

You got a heatsink on that mother?

Is this bringin air in form outdoors? If so, remember to put a filter on that bad boy.

edit: If you really want to see a difference I'd put a 120 with an 80mm adapter on the outside. Since it's outside, look into a good high-flow fan. I'd probably also consider putting a second fan on the inside end of the duct, to ensure good aiflow and pressure. How long is the duct gonna be?

So your plan is to have it work something like this, right? (though I dunno how you have your other fans set up)



I took that pic from SVC, where they sell the above kit (link) to do just what you're describing. Anyway, seems like the ducting wouldn't be that hard to set up on your own, as long as you found a good way to attach the ends. From your description, it sounds like you'll have two 80mm fans, one at each end, plus one 80mm fan-to-duct adapter?

Incidentally, that duct-kit manufacturer's claimed 15C improvement must've been measured in a really badly ventilated case (lined with wool blankets, maybe?). Tim at Overclockers' Club measured a more-realistic 5C improvement under load with his duct mod. And I remember a mod in our own galleries where someone used a drinking glass as a duct (link). That guy claimed 15C, but that's with a new HSF, too.

yeh i have a passive 233 somwer.....errrr....ahh here:




its rather chunky, but its not made or copper or aluminium - that odd multicloured metal stuff

heh thats not even close my plan is to have the air from outside come in on the side of the case and blow right directly onto the passive HSF

yeah i have a athlon hsf unit on it right now using the 3 pin connection (but the fan sensor on the board doesn't work) but as long as it spins i could care less.

ok heres just an update so far on whats been going on with it. hmm maybe i should name this project,, any ideas?

after looking at my fans and modding a few im relucant do to this but i will give it a shot

heh and if i get my web cam then i'll be able to take pics of the setup today once it is completed

NoTe: Necro This cold weather during the morning here is going to rock for cooling this rig right down

Ohhhh, OUTSIDE outside....

Maybe you should call the project O₂, the symbol for oxygen gas (goes along with the fresh air thing), or maybe just short for OUTSIDE outside

Might condensation, or just plain old humidity in the morning air, pose a bit of a dilemma?

due to some turn of events this project will have to wait untill the 27th or so i happened to run into getting cable from the neighboors so after all the other stuff was done i kinda came up empty handed does anyone have any dryer ducting that that would be will to part with?

I've got some, but shipping would cost more than going over to Home Depot and picking it up...it's really cheap - only a coupla buX

ok well thanks any way it just means that i have to wait untill the end of the month heh its not that far away
