The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

too loud fan: replace by aluminum rips 1 meter long ?

Asked by Sonja_M in Computer Fans and Cooling, Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags:

Hi all,

I have a main board right on my desk (with no housing). The pc cooling fan looks similar to http://images.tigerdirect.com/skuimages/large/S457-1017-a-wg.jpg and is too loud. So I was thinking about substituting the fan by 20 Aluminum sheets 3 mm * 10 cm * 1m (approximately 0.1 inch * 4 inch * 3 feet). The idea is to just press the sheets between the given rips. I do not care about the needed space but I want it silent. The questions are:

1.) would it work (in normal room temperature), and what is the needed aluminum sheet area ?
2.) I see the fan has 3 wires (not 2, as I expected). Does the fan measure the temperature, or is it done inside the processor ?
3.) what happens if cooling is unsufficient ?: would the processor get distroyed, or does he have some  self defence (maybe switch off before too hot) ? When too hot, will the PC start to make crazy calculation mistakes ?
