I dont know, but bare just screams problems....I think i'm even against normal sleeving.

I'd go with shrink tubing, clear would be great because you could see that high gauge copper.

Looking good, can't wait for more pictures

 

[h3llb3nd4]

Awesome!! Awesome!! Awesome!! Awesome!!Awesome!!
I've always loved reading project logs!! They are alway's awesome!! especially the ones in Bit-tech!!
but this is what I call real modding

They are all from China what do you expect? LOL

They still think 1970s colors are the shit!

anyway ASUS is a Taiwanese brand... TAIWANESE!!!

EDIT: sorry about that Ubuntu is so sensitive on the ctrl+v

+1 Get clear so the copper is always visible

 

[DanishDevil]

My vote's for some clear heatshrink for protection and coppery goodness!

LOL... thats tru.. BUT (their is always a but )
It would look cool


Thanks h3llb3nd4

Couple of ideas came to mind, paint them with UV reavtive paint (clear or colored): http://www.xoxide.com/paint.html

Or use a liquid rubber dip to coat them, comes in many colors... ex: http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/plastidip.html

I just had the vision of "Tron" pop into my head....
(thanks for the links somethingcool )

I have a few of the rubber "dips" here and DB actually sent me a bottle of Conformal Dope quite a while ago...

Pink

I am in no way secure enough with my manhood to use pink

 

[DaMulta]

I myself love PINK!

My manhood feels dame good when it finds good clean pink

Oh and would you lose your manhood in this?

Remember the King drove a Pink Caddy

 

[MKmods]

(now you mention it pink would have a high contrast with the carbon fiber)

Ok I got to plying around and after all your ideas I came up with this

I am using 10ga rod thats able to run 30A on each line.

its even cleaner (lower profile)

cant be shorted out (no flex in the rods at all)

and I even managed to make an "M" in it.. Now to figure how to do a "K"

EDIT:I just realized why this way was so cool, now the wiring is between the mobo tray and mobo (invisible wiring and it wont block the airflow under the mobo as well)

 

[BrooksyX]

Wow that is just amazing! Where do you come up with this stuff!?!

Your mods are always my favorite because you like to keep things low key and low profile. Sweet n' simple. Just the way I like my pc stuff too.

 

[A Cheese Danish]

Dude, that is crazy! Very awesome with the "M"!

I just start working and it just happens. Most (lol, 99.9%) of my work is always in progress. I am not a big fan of planning as to me its always 1000X better to see the whole 3D picture in front of you.

#1 to me is efficiency/value....


Thanks a lot

Here is a shot showing the 8pin power as well

(notice the mosfets on the back of the mobo, nice idea ASRock)

Il think I will get a few of these Enzo coolers to attach to them

 

[tzitzibp]

nice clean work MK! and agood idea to use those coolers on the mosfets...

 

[DaveK]

I myself love PINK!

My manhood feels dame good when it finds good clean pink

What man doesn't love a bit of pink every now and then

 

[MKmods]

ok im heading on out to pick up some clear heat shrink tubing.
(thanks everyone for your input on this)

Lucky for me our local electronics store "Sandys" has it and its like $2 for 4'.

I took off the cooling system from the face of the mobo yesterday it was a bit flimsy (very thin alum) and I dont think the heat tube will work as well (not like it worked that great before, lol)

I am going with a bunch of Enzotech coolers on this as I had an Ultra X already sitting in the closet and I had one of these as well
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ensllowprcoc.html

I am going with one of these on the top side mosfets
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/enmsfocomohe.html

and some of these (sticking out the underside of the mobo tray)
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/enmofocomohe.html

when I get back I will post a few picts showing my plans.

 

[DanishDevil]

Sounds good MK! Can't wait

 

[tzitzibp]

Sounds good MK! Can't wait

+1 on that man!

this is going to be so... unique!

 

[h3llb3nd4]

it's already more than unique!!

 

[MKmods]

Thanks guys..

Ok, on to the stock coolers. This post is in no way bagging on ASRock for the quality of the coolers. I realize that the amount of technology put into these mobos for such little money is insane.

But costs will have to be cut to make them affordable to sell and this post is to show one area where I believe the marketing people were listened to over the engineers (a dangerous thing sometimes, lol)

Here is the mobo and cooler

Looks cool, but in reality its amazing it works at all. Here is a closeup of the cooler made from thin lite weight copper colored alum (tube is copper though)

notice the grooves on the backside (lol, no lapping here)

Here is a side shot showing the multiple layers (layers=bad as there is a loss of efficiency with each layer)

I ordered the Enzotech coolers and they should be here mon or tues so I will post picts of them mounted when I get them..
One of the reasons I have liked the enzotech coolers is they have an almost mirror image on their contact side as well as they are forged.
Forging makes a denser metal that "technically" transfers heat faster. I mention the word technically as the difference between a cast part and a forged one is possibly small, never the less there is a difference.

Ever thought of making your own cooler?

btw - nice effort, wish i was closer to you - i would pay you a handsome sum for you to make one.

I have made a bunch, I even made a few heat tube versions. I remember when I started quite a while ago I was on a different forum and the guys kept telling me my stuff wouldnt work..
First they said when I removed the PS from its case the EMI (electromagnetic interference) would destroy the comp... Than they said my heat tube coolers also wouldnt work (way before Jing Ting and Thermalright made theirs (which work very nicely by the way))

Need less to say I left all the negativity of that forum and found you great folks here at TPU

Ok off the babbling and back to the question...I can make any part or cooler but the prob is cost and time.. With a careful selection there are excellent coolers already made (and they cost about $10)

 

[WhiteLotus]

so which did you cooler did you go for?

 

[MKmods]

so which did you cooler did you go for?

I posted them in post #97...I am going with all Enzotech coolers for this mobo

Here is a general idea WhiteLotus
for the top side mosfets

(I ordered the pin version of enzos cooler for this as this fin version is a bit too narrow)

For the chipsets

This one will have the small cooler with fan

This one is very narrow, 40mm fan wont fit. And the GPUs are right above so I am taking enzos small cooler and gonna cut it down to fit.

WOW!

Why have I only just come across this thread? Your work is amazing MK mods, but I went to look up your 24 pin mod guide a few days ago and all the pictures have gone

Il try to reorganize the picts, I lost a bunch on Photobucket. I need to fix the Rosewill mod thread as well.
