Love that PSU! For some reason it reminds me of a massive turbocharger on an old sportscar.

Highly acceptable for this thread.

Sidenote, I remember everyone was complaining about those fans with pumps built into them when these AIOs came out, but I haven't heard too many complaints. Anyone know if they've been reliable?

Fire wire ,what is it good for ? Huh,absolutly nothing!

I have a better idea for my old Chieftec. I want to replace FireWire with a pair of USB3.0 connectors(there should be enough space, I think).
Just need to get it started sometime after Jan 14th...

 

[witkazy]

well , in my case instead of fire wire comes power on led and port will be ,portable heh heh, as stand alone outside of the pc case

I don't have a molex connector to plug a new fan, while another is used for case LEDs

I had to cut down the PSU wire used for the LEDs and get the ground and +12V, the +5V was covered to avoid shorts
Cut the fan and Leds Molex connector

I used these

To get two cables from the ground and +12V to plug the fans and LEDs

It still works fine

Not ghetto enough. Use solder and electrical tape!

EDIT to avoid double posting:
I wish I had pictures of it, but a post a page or so back made me remember my Geforce 8500GT. I zip-tied an intel processor heat sink to it and overclocked the ever-loving crap out of it. I don't remember the numbers, but I do remember it was over 50% overclocked on the core. Also stuck some ram heatsinks on there and overclocked that too. It could almost match my buddy's 8600 in real world games. Good times....

Someone awesome off this site sent me an Asustek AIO because i was a twat and blew up my H100. I have removed the 120mm rad and swapped it for the 240mm off the H100

i manged to get antifreeze in my mouth and i didnt even suck anything.

here are the tools i used

pipette
PTFE tape
sharp knife
pliers
McDonalds tray
small dish ( dont tell my wife)

How was the Austrain Wine ?

Pics of finished job with 240 rad please

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

this is me at the testing stage. I am leak free but at the moment the temperature results arent very good using the double rad. It may be too much volume or too much "lift" for the pump.

Tomorrow i think i will swap the smaller rad back in.


I havent made a bracket to fix the rad on the back. Despite being corrugated there isnt much "give" in the pipes and i may swap them entirely. H100 was much better in this respect (and cooling wise) because the fittings swivveled at both ends.


So.

this is my ghetto balancing act.

1. mirror
2 Northbridge cooling fan
3. sunglasses case containing screws
4 a chunk of wood

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Temps with H/T on and off @ 4.0ghz with the 240 mm rad

and this is with the small 120mm rad H/T off

I played GTA V for a couple of hours last night and the hottest core hit 68C so i think i will leave the 240mm on and run my system at 4.0ghz and H/T on.

 

[dorsetknob]

just a small improvment then ( any improvment is better than a knackered H00 with zero cooling ...)

maybe a little dust cleaning wouldn't go astray either hint for cleaning rads so they look like new bucket of hot water and sugar soap no need to blow dust everywhere and for the rest a 1" paint brush and the vacuum cleaner
