Hello forum!
I've just seen a video from Luke with custom made test bench.
A long time ago I had AMD Sempron with ATI XT1800 or something like that with 2GB of RAM in an older case with no extra fans or whatsoever...
I recently updated my components (bought from friends to save money) to Core 2 Quad Q9550, 4GB RAM and HD7950 Boost from Sapphire. CPU produces a lot of heat since I still use stock cooler from Intel.
I wanted to get rid of the heat in the case, firstly I removed only the top side of case and I realized that I can not put things on top of it (I usually put my phone on my case), but I wasn't satisfied with that,
so secondly I removed side panels. The problem with that was I used to move my legs a lot so here and there I had hit my components .
Now, I don't have a case (teared it apart after some removes) and I have to admit, it feels good!
I weekly clean my CPU and GPU from the dust so I don't have problem with that and the heat goes up in the air directly...
I would like to have a test bench, but I think I'll put my PC under the desk, put some fans on each side to keep the fresh air in there...
I think it's okay if I share my PC with all of you. Components are just laying on the table, nothing special.
If you have some recommendations for me, tell me!
Every friend that came to my place was surprised with my "I don't give a *uck PC".
P.S. Sorry for the dust on the table, around the PC. I'll clean it... Maybe...
