alright, I have my project, nicknamed "Compulsive" which I am building inside a Lian-Li PC-V300B that I have to use as a SFF gaming machine, and to sub as my main rig until summer when I'll be doing a new main rig
check out my project thread over at XS if you'd like to see what I've done so far: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=121391
alright... I had plans to originally use my P-D 920 Presler in the SFF, changed the plans to an E4300 Allendale, and now am considering using an Xeon 3060 in it due to the new Abit F-I90HD mATX board which will soon be available
I had planned to use a Thermalright XP-120 in there, which fits just fine, but if I put something like a Xeon 3060 Conroe in there (and OC it for sure), I'm not exactly sure that the XP-120 can handle the heatload that it would put out
I'm looking to see what heatsinks people have used in their PC-V300's so far, and any suggestions towards which one would be my best bet.
I recently found this heatsink: http://www.jab-tech.com/product.php?productid=3722
its low profile like the XP-120, but will be much closer to the PSU than the xp-120 is with the fan on it... I thought about getting that heatsink and then putting the fan to suck air through the heatsink from the underside (so fan is between HSF base and fins... would be very easy to do with some zipties)
Help me! I'm a cooling junkie and refuse to cut corners on cooling even in a SFF build
Thanks,
Justin
