To view this case mod, go here.
Specs:
Apevia X-Dreamer mid-tower (air cooled)
Sirverstone OP750 PSU, 52Amp single rail
Core2quad (kentsfield) OCed 2.93GHz
Scythe Infinity (3fans)
BadAxe2 motherboard
Patriot Extreme 2GB 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1V
ATI x1950XT 256MB
Maxtor 500GB 7200rpm
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 SZ
Pioneer DVD-burner
Mods:
These can't be called mods but, oh well.
Made my own home-made cheap looking memory cooler. It worked pretty well and cost me 12 bucks, woohoo! Was able to lower the temperature around 15~16 degrees F.
A therm monitor (little clock on case side) was added to read the memory temperature. The sensor is right between memory Channel A and B. The therm sensor on front of the case (default sensor) is just reading overall case temperature (it's at bottom of case).
I put 3 fans on the CPU heatsink. This didn't work too well. Got an average temperature drop of 3~4 degrees F.
This temp readings were done while idle though. I'll try it again under stress later this week and will post pictures of temp readings.
This are some pics of my new system. Used to have a 3years-old AMD system on this case. Planned on buying a new video card, but ended changing pretty much everything (don't you hate technology...). Did as best as I could to keep things clean looking (with the space I had).
