The victim:
My print server; 1.3GHz Celeron-tualatin @ 1.5, Dual P3 board, etc.
The project:
Eliminate the only remaining major (relatively speaking) source of noise, the AMD retail HSF on the CPU with a Zalman FanMate @ near minimum speed.
I picked up an Aerocool DP-101 "Deep Impact" heatsink from Fry's today, since it was only ~$2 more than Newegg, and I wouldn't have to wait for it.
I was going to move a capacitor on the board to allow me to mount this thing, but that kind of fell flat on it's face, so I just took the heatspreader off the P3 to get some more slack in the clipping mechanism.
It's now mounted, fanless, running F@H, and @ 120*F and climbing very slowly, like 2*F/minute. However, it appears it may have stabilized @ 120; I'll have to wait a few minutes and see.
Passive cooling on a 1.5GHz Celeron. :D
