I just had a Coolmax CP-500T to burn out. I blew the dust out and some |
| 30 |
knot head left a rubber band in it and it got caught up in my fan. We |
| 31 |
all know what happened about 10 minutes later. Thing did run a while |
| 32 |
with 0 cooling tho. I run folding with three hard drives spinning so it |
| 33 |
had a good load on it. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I did like the power supply tho. It had a 120mm fan and was real |
| 36 |
quiet. I couldn't hear it over the other noise in the case. I do have |
| 37 |
several other fans running tho, including the CPU which runs pretty good |
| 38 |
too. |
