cold air intake

simplyxlost · 03-24-2004, 10:26 PM

ok so i know this has nothing to do with drifting, but it somewhat is connected to automotive. i made a cold air intake for my computer, but the air isnt better. my cpu used to be 104f but when i put the intake in, it goes to 106f. anyone know what's wrong?

Chas · 03-24-2004, 10:27 PM

thats so hot.

turbocharge that sucker and slap a giant intercooler on it

simplyxlost · 03-24-2004, 10:33 PM

hmm, the intercooler part sounds pretty cooll. i dont know bout the turbine cause the processor fan doesnt have enough pressure to make the spinny thing spin. btw, how much would a intercooler or radiator cost at a junk yard?

monkeymagic · 03-24-2004, 10:35 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL KEEP US UPDATE ON UR PROJECT LOL

jung · 03-24-2004, 10:57 PM

HAHAHAH LOL!

Maybe you should try to have something sucking air thorugh the tube and blowing it on the cpu to cool it down? I don't know how you would do it but just my 2 cents.

good luck on it.... lol

simplyxlost · 03-24-2004, 10:59 PM

jung, you wouldnt happen to know jorge "junbug" would you?

Chas · 03-24-2004, 11:04 PM

that is gerorge

jung · 03-24-2004, 11:07 PM

ummm...... no

I got a twin turbo on my compaq and she's running low 10's on the track...I found that the best thing to do to get her drifting is to slap on a LSD, and she will be pulling atleast a G on the corners!!!

Mr.Mecha · 03-25-2004, 11:35 AM

It's hotter with the intake right now probably because some furnace duct is forming a draft that you don't know about that is aimed at the intakes opening. What might work is if you got one of those super high power fans and stuck it to the end of the intake. You could always make a water cooling system too, I was thinking about one for my computer, they have radiators that you can make stick out the front too.

simplyxlost · 03-25-2004, 04:52 PM

Mr. Mecha, i have no idea what you're saying.

03-25-2004, 05:07 PM

throw somw 18's on it lol

Feint · 03-25-2004, 05:15 PM

1.That intake is done all wrong.Look on any car,notice where the intake is located,it is near an area where air can easily be sucked in(near the wheel well in a lot of cases).Your intake points up,it's more like an exhaust than an intake.You should have it go out,then turn right,where you then conveinently place a fan that you crank on high.This will now turn you cold air intake into forced induction,haha.

2.With all that power,you need a good cooling system,look here.

Misthael · 03-25-2004, 06:29 PM

Zalman makes really good quiet PC cooling. You should check them out before Thermaltake cause liquid cooling is spensive and dangerous.

simplyxlost · 03-25-2004, 06:42 PM

wow you guys are really helpful. thermaltake, hmm, i used to have one but i didnt like it cause it was too loud. zalman is nice and quiet but its too damn expensive. i'm trying to do what i can to get better airflow by using DIY parts.

heres another shot of my computer. give me some ideas please.

Misthael · 03-25-2004, 06:53 PM

Zalman is expensive? I wasn't aware. Newegg.com has cheaper prices than most people. Try there. I think Zalman is cheap for what you get. My 2cents

Glenn · 03-26-2004, 03:19 AM

No offence intended, but thats ghey. You just adding alot of air resistance to your inlet tract. And it looks ghetto too.

Soon you will se something similar to an intercooler on the front of my case, im watercooling my rig so ill have a big fat radiator on the front

. I also have a LCD screen on the front too

HasNoTiresLeft · 03-26-2004, 07:46 AM

hahah... *sits and laughs* A heat sink maybe?

Misthael · 03-26-2004, 07:59 AM

From what I can see in your pics you could use some more case fans. Not enough air is escaping your box. Get rid of hte intake and make a bezel for two or three fans. Ebay has 40mm fans for real cheap. Even in bulk. They'd be great for a 5.25" drive bay... I think. Yeah I guess Zalman is a little more spensive, but it's quiet. If you have a window air conditioner in your room you can run that intake to the ac. That will definitely be cool air. My window ac is too far away from my comp.

I say add some case fans and get a better proc fan and heat sink. My comp runs pretty hot too, but all computers do. You could always spray liquid nitrogen into your case in very small increments. That might make it cold.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Xantos · 04-01-2004, 07:14 PM

dont try the liquid nitrogen thing, or CO2; i learned from experience. I got my paintball CO2 tank and sprayed it the case and it made water condense all over the place, frying the comp.
But my comp i have now kicks more *Censored**Censored**Censored* than my old one.

that thing looks awful, you where calling his ghetto??? you got freaking LCD shiz not covered, a hole under your mis-matched color CD drives and you have 2 of the same "powered by Albatron" stickers, wtf?

Glenn you just created the first documented rice computer. why glenn why did you have to do this? also in the process you have created the first rice computer hater. now ricers everywhere will be dressing their computers up in ugly body kits... giant aluminum wings and stickers. every sticker adds 1 MB of hard drive storage. no the horror! the neons are coming, the neons are coming! the utter and complete horror!!

Misthael · 04-02-2004, 01:41 PM

Hey!!! I have neon in my case. My fan card is UV reactive and has blue LEDs in it. Nothing wrong with neon in the case. increases visibility. But I agree that his case aint that good. Not very clean. I wouldn't mind having an LCD or a window, but I'd do a better job of it. Oh well. Maybe I'll post pics of my case.
