no more guide

Yeti has convinced me that this guide is not worth it...

Go here if you want a cooling guide.

It is definately helpful... read through it again though.

"COPPER is better at absorbing heat than COPPER but it is more expensive and not as formable as aluminum."

Theres a typo on xoxide's site also, lol.

Took my idea, that wasnt very nice, was it?

Some pieces are a little inacurrate and needs to address other areas more in depth/at all.

Bunch of errors that aren't what you meant to say, but just came out. and a noob might not know.

HSF: Heatsink and Fan, this is what cools your CPU. It sits on top of your CPU and absorbs the heat created by it.

The objective is actualy to disapate the heat.

Copper is better at absorbing heat than copper but it is more expensive and not as formable as aluminum.

Uhhh...

Quote:

Thermalright XP-120 ~$50

Zalman 7700(Cu or AlCu) ~$45

Zalman 7000(Cu or AlCu) $30(AlCu)/$38(Cu)

Thermalright SLK-900A $40

Thermalright SP-94(or 97) $50

You're making it seem like zalman and thermaltake make the only good heatsink.

Quote:

Heatsinks also require some kind of conductive paste or pad that lets heat get into the heatsink much faster and making sure that the heatsink makes contact with the CPU.

Just make sure you mention that these TIMS (thermal interface materials), are still much poorer conducters of heat then metal.

Quote:

Heatpipes: These are pipes that contain tiny traces of water that absorb heat and evaporate to a higher place and then condense back down to move more heat.

One of the major advantages of heatpeipes is that they are not affected by gravity. Inside the heatpipe there is a wick or thread of some sort that lets the condensed liquid travel back to the source of heat by capilary action.

Basicly, you have a lot of vaguenesses to fix, misacuracies, and places to get more technichal. Personaly, I think we should just leave the 101's to praetor (meaning when he feels like writing them), he seems to have done a pretty good job on the other ones

Anyone can write a 101, just double check everything and make sure it is complete. Maybe a 101 submission method could be devised, similar to the mod application. As for this one, if you don't like it or don't want to update and make corrections to it just let it fall off the page.

are you saying that he copied this from there?

gamerman4 · 10-26-2005, 03:42 AM

I think he is just saying that xoxide has a typo too because I didn't even see a mention of copper on that xoxide.com link. I don't even see a typo on that link...
