From noisy fan to silent water-cooling?
Has anyone experience with changing the internal fan from a amplifier to a more silent watercooling?
In computers it is rather common to do this. There DIY sets fore sale.
Which one to use? What size? Is it more silent than a fan?
The amplifier I am thinking of adding this is the tiny Linn Classic Movie Di. It is an AB-mosfet which produces a lot of heat.

Paul

Hi,
still downloading the Zalman pdf and I've seen the filling procedure using an open circulating system, but this comment applies to any and all warm water circulating systems.
Find a way to control Legionalla!!!!!!!!!!
Else you might kill yourself and your family & visitors or just end up in jail for negligence.

I have always added a touch of chorine bleech or swimming pool chorine just for that reason. It works perfectly.

In the PC world you still need a fan (to cool the radiator) but you can reduce the noise by using a large (120mm) low-RPM one.
What size is the existing fan? Simpler fixes are to swap for a quieter model or to under-volt the one you have, but cooling will not be so good - as a general rule, noise goes up with airflow. You can also considerably increase airflow (and often reduce noise) by replacing slotted punched grilles with an open wire one.

Of course the benefit of water cooling is exactly that you can have a huge radiator, much bigger than the size of the largest heatsink it would be practical to mount inside a case. You can even put the radiator outside a window, or submerge it in a river, or otherwise put it somewhere cool.
That depends on how big the radiator is. If it's large enough, then natural convection will be enough to keep it cool = lovely silence!cpemma said:
