Pc Enthusiasts... look at this.. ROFLOL
Been getting into my Doom 3, Half life 2 and Quake 4 lately, and the old 3.2Ghz P4 is getting a tad warm at times, so i thought id buy a couple of gig of extra corsair 2-2-2.5 TwinX Ram and a better than stock P4 cooler... chose one from Scan and it just arrived...
Fook Me!! It looked small on teh pics!!
And its"Fitting kit"
How the fook are you supposed to find room for this twat?

That'll be fine on the side of your mobo mate. I have a massive coolermaster one on my amd 64bit. No word of a lie it takes up most of my case and thats just the heatsink. I'll try and get a picture of it at some point and stick it up.

I would think the mountings would be alright. They get pretty well crushed into the motherboard, (enough that i always worry about cracking the core when i fit one) so I think itd be fine.

How about this for a different take on PC cooling... Ditch the fans, ditch the air! Go for total imersion liquid cooling!.
Mad stuff!! LOL!

I have their old flower cooler and graphics card heat sink. The manufacturing and the instructions were top notch.

keep it clean! stu gonna have to come on and but kick u Watch out for static electricity when you put anything near the inside of your pc. including a hoover.. only thing you should use is an air blower to blow all the dust out. Static is one big killer of mobo's and gpu's..

"Hmm.. 5:30pm, think Il nip home, shove this extra gig of ram in, screw the fan down and be testing Doom 3 by 6:30 before i go to teh gym at 7.. perfect..."
You know the mindset.. simple job, crack on....
Well.... as you can im sure imagine, that isnt how it turns out
The aforementioned support bracket goes on teh back of the motherboard, well i was quietly sure the rear of my motherboard was open to acccess... it wasnt, so i had to take it out, which of course, is a TOTAL stripdown!!
Fit this bugger to teh back:
And this to teh front around teh CPU...
Shove teh board back in teh case and add the sexy new fan.
Job done:
Oh look, the fan lights up too...
But most importantly, during a 3d mark test, teh processor used to hit 55deg C, now it only makes 44, so a major improvement thankfully!!
