Default Don't you wish you had this?
Since I live in the area where the winter gets as cold as -40*C, I got an idea where I can use this cold weather to my advantage:






So I went to our hardware store and picked up some 20ft long flexible ventilation tubes. I have 2 Ultrahigh-flow-Panaflo (120cfm) fans at one end of the tube pushing the frigid cold air into the tube and at the other end, is 2 of the same fans pushing the air into my radiator. The result is a really really cold CPU. Right now its still pretty warm here (thank god!), but when it gets cold, I will post a pic of my core temp for you guys.

Cheers~

I'm thinking about doing this in ~2 months once it gets down to about 0 around here.

I'm going to stop worrying about load temps and start worrying about voltages and stability.
