Alt: CFM calculator to get rid of HEAT (TDP or WATTS)
Most interesting part so far, and most interesting website so far:
http://www.aavidthermalloy.com/techn...rs/64bit.shtml It mentions CFD analysis. Why calculate one little simple fokking formula if you can simulate the whole system ! LOL. What hopefully CFD analysis software ! =D CFD: Csomething Fluid Dynamics LOL. Bye, Skyflow. |

This one looks cool:

This one also seems kinda cool but a bit old, but that could be an
adventage, since I am on a PIII 450 mhz and best of all it's free, alas only for MAC OS and Linux: http://tetruss.larc.nasa.gov/ Could still be interesting though. Bye, Skybuck. |

Yeah,
I heared about these motherfokkers too: http://www.ansys.com/Products/Simula...mics/ANSYS+CFD They've been around for a long time... maybe old maybe not old maybe good maybe not good... So far it's a bit vague... Butt the pirates have it too ! =D Bye, Skybuttpirate ! LOL. |

You might want to read up on this stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actual_...eet_per_minute "real cfm" For now after a quick glance I am thinking my atmosperic calculations might actually be closer to the truth Time will tell ! =D Bye, Skybuck. wrote in message ... Skybuck Flying wrote: Alternative thread in case original thread don't produce no results or some miss it ! =D Important topic ! =D Hello, I'm curious if it's possible to build a powerfull PC/iCore/GPU/Cuda PC without getting into heat problems ! For example CPU has about 30 TDP (which is close to watts, otherwise find watts listing) and GPU could have as much as 200 to 300 TDP (watts) (top model for maximum bandwidth). Additional watts for memory( 20 watt ? just guessing ) /motherboard (10 watt ?)/4 harddisk (60 watt*4=240) Let's say 800 watts. How much CFM would be needed to get rid of all that heat ?!? A CFM heat (PC) calculator would be most handy... maybe somebody can make/program it. What would be good formula's to use ?!? Bye, Skybuck =D CFM = 3.16 * Watts / Delta_T_degrees_F Say room temperature is 72F, case air temperature target is 90F, computer watts is 200 watts. CFM = 3.16 * 200 / (90 - 72) = 35CFM You can get around three times that airflow rating from a fan like this, but you don't want to be sitting next to this. The fan draws 12V @ 1A and should not be connected to the motherboard header. You can run this off a Molex drive connector. http://www.circuittest.com/cfa121203...l-bearing.html DDR3 memory DIMMs are around 2W. Hard drives are less than 12W. Your 800W number needs to be reworked. Paul Paul's calculation is correct. He knows what he is talking about. That's the only equation I know of, off hand. I'm not a thermal engineer, and cribbed that off a web page that detailed how to put a computer into an enclosure, and ensure it got enough cooling air. I expect there is some room for using pressure curves for the fan, but I don't know the first thing about that. I had an engineer at work, who used to do that part for us. When you work in a big company, you're generally "stuck in a silo". Paul I know what you mean Paul. I do have windows here, but they have bars on them! ) It's easy to get hung-up about system cooling, especially with heat being the biggest killer of hardware. I just configure things so that hard drives have airflow over them, stay below 40C and that everything else (particularly CPU and GPU) stays within spec'd temps when pushed hard. Unless it's an overclocked system, that normally just means a standard 120mm fan drawing air in at the front and same extracting at the back, with perhaps an extra fan directing air across the HDs if they are poorly positioned within the case (as they often are.) Because PSUs generally also have fans, I'd assume this leads to a slight negative air pressure but that's not something that seems to have any measureable effect in my experience (eg I tried 3 intake fans as an experiment a few years ago when I was overclocking those P4 Prescott roasting devices!) Cooling has become much less of an issue with modern hardware - even high-end GPUs dissipate much less power these days. -- Rob |
