CPAP Machine for PC Cooling - Overclock.net

coonsaa · 2 Weeks Ago

I just got a CPAP machine for my sleep apnea. Basicly a machine that blows air for you to breathe in a nose mask type deal.

Then I thought why not plug the hose into my PC through one of the unused water cooling lines!

Now I have 13 cm of air flushing the heat out :P

The results are in Phenom II 940 OC to 3.2 now runs at 29c not 34c
Radion HD 4850 was hitting 70 on the GPU (Full load) now its 63c. Water cooling hole is next to main gpu.

Any thoughts?

How is the noise? Got specs on the machine? Sounds like your case was suffering from not enough air intake in the first place.

Specs are my Sig Rig there. As for noise well its loud to say the least. Not rec for full time use unless you don't mind the noise of a box fan lol. As for not enough air intake all my 120mm fans are intake 1, rear 1, side 1, front. An 80mm intake bottom and a Vent on top witch all the air leaves the case.

I think if I put the intake on the CPAP machine over my AC vent I could get some better temps lol

So a ton of positive pressure and you added more and got more C drop....wierd....someone smarter then me needs to explain that to me...

I was asking for specs on the CPAP machine not your computer lol. AKA the CFM if it even mentions it. Interesting concept but it sounds like the noise is the killer.

The CPAP machine is loud when the air hose is open, not when it is sealed to your face lol. Cpap is a RemStarPro by Resperonics. Not shure what cfm is though m8.
