Shuttle I.C.E. heat-pipe technology?

Going to build a new LAN box using the Shuttle SN45G with a 2500+
(unlocked); 1 gig Samsung 2700 (with heat spreaders).

Anyone used or know anything about the I.C.E. technology that comes with the
box? It looks like it replaces the cpu fan one would normally use.

Anyone built one of the Shuttle boxes and have comments about the I.C.E.
system?

Hi,
yeah my friend built a rig very similar to your spec, works well. The I.C.E
or *Integrated Cooling Engine* bolts directly to the CPU, you need no 3rd
party heatsink or fan. Works quite well. . .I think his idle temps were
about 45c.

I didn't get a chance to play with it yet (to test stability) but the only
thing that caught my attention is the it has just a *200w* PSU

I thought mine (sn41g2b) was to loud and watercooled it with a corsair
hydrocool. I have a 2500+@2255Mhz default v-core. My board has limited O/C
features only fsb adjustments, best I could get out of it. Here's a couple
pic's:

Though am running a sapphire 9800 pro in it now instead of the gf4.

I worked on one recently. The heat pipe has a fan on it at the back of the
case. It's noisy when it runs and makes the whole thing vibrate. At least on his
it did. I got it to quit vibrating but the fan itself is loud and runs very
fast. It only runs when needed though. Surfing the net and general non processor
intensive stuff didn't even make the fan come on at all. It cooled the processor
well also but it was a pentium machine. I did get to set my friend down and show
him how a processor with a lower clock rating (my amd xp 2500+ machine running
at 2.2ghz) could whip the crap out of his P4 2.6ghz. In all of the benchmarks my
amd machine was 35% or more faster. He was disappointed because the machine he
has is exactly like the ones use for production work at his office. He took it
back and showed the tech guys at his job the benchmark results and they told him
it was impossible. He said they ran the benchmark programs and then things got
real quiet.
