Is that heat sink really necessary or did the owner want some peace and quiet?
The CPU is IntelĀ® Core
TM2 Q9550 @ 3.4GHz. The gfxcard is passive GeForce 9500GT. The only fans in the system are in the
Nexus Clodius case. I can easily run the case fans at the lowest setting (1000rpm) and the CPU cores stay at around 42 degrees max at full 4 core load. There no HDD, but SSD SATA2 drive.
I have similar setup for the router/fileserver, except that it has IntelĀ® Core
TM2 E6350 @ 2.8GHz and the cheapest PCI-E gfxcard I could find. In addition SSD SATA2 system drive the router/fileserver has 3TB RAID-5 setup.
I like my systems quiet.
