Need advice for new cooler

[Jose]

Thanks all for the suggestions.
  :-D
Those chipset coolers are cool but way more thatn what a 040/40 needs (I think), and too big. Watercooling yeah right..  :-D Maybe I could connect my amiga to my fridge instead:-?
It's so easy to get a 486 cooler but when  presented with thousands of new coolers on the net  I started thinking wich one would be better specialy since I like silent computers like the classic Amigas.
I'm gonna give it a try at one of those chipset coolers, maybe from the same brand of the one Kurt refered ...

Well I´ve to suggest a cooler of a peecee GFX card, IMO is the more adecuated solution for you and it´s no more than 3/4 euro here in Spain.

Butta if you wanna a totally quiet computer you can add a Peltier Cell to the 040.

It works at +12u, so you can power it by the PSU, and if you still using a external PSU with the 1200, it doesn´t get much amperage (twice or 3 times a little 12u GFX fan).

You can add this to the Switching transistor coolers on the PSU, if you are using the 1200 in a power with standart PSU of course, this way you could quit the fan on the PSU (a lot less noise).

Personally, I always make a thermostate that makes start the PSU fan when it´s really needed. STarts at full speed and when low temperature is in the coolers of the PSU, it slowdowns the fan rpms to the 50 per cent for 5 minutes.

Then it shutsdown itself and start the process again

The only way to get a quietter HD is to get it in a ultraquiet HD box :|

Have Fun!
