It is to cool the room, right?

de.das.dude · May 2, 2013

no, just me when im on the pc. this is right beside my monitor. it works great!

Peter1986C · May 3, 2013

So it is not the computer, lol. Your room and you are like the same thing in this case, because a (partially) cooled room cools you.

de.das.dude · May 3, 2013

doesnt even partially cool

it just fires a stream of cold air at my bare chest

prevents sweating and that is all i ask

get coil of cooper tube,a large insulated container,and a pump
run the tube though the container in coil then make a ZZ pattern on the other end
mount the fan on the back of the ZZ pattern and then fill the container full of ice,salt,water (the salt lowers the freezing point making the water colder)
turn the pump and fan on and enjoy

Had to cut the front piece of a VNF100 to install on a Powercolor 7770 for my HTPC.

chip? you mean squash the die completely.

Well i say it's there more for to stop the card from bending in the GPU area when it's installed in the PC with a heavy enough Cooler to bend the card.

"Republic of Crap"

Need to solder a stereo jack on a Asus Vulcan ANC Headset, these clumsy default jacks break fast (cable).

4 wires on a stereo jack is unusual.... so there must be 2 grounds

and i didn´t found a replacement set ...

here´s the Pinout:

de.das.dude · May 26, 2013

indeed they do break really really fast.

another cooling solution

is that yours? or another one from the net

keeping the spirit of botching alive....

i scooped up a soldering station.

compelte with fans, solder dispenser, lights and tip cleaner iron holder

made from, plywood, broken clothes hanger, screws and stuff

Peter1986C · Jul 21, 2013

Is there a reason for the soldering station to have a fan?

de.das.dude · Jul 21, 2013

hot climate, it can be quite a couple of seconds for the solder to solidify. its a common habit here to blow manually at solder.

got the fan idea off a diy video off the internets. i wanted a 12V source

the 9V struggles to run them both at the same time.

Irony · Jul 22, 2013

Lol. If I did any more soldering than I do I would do something like that. The fan is a great idea; I was just doing some soldering at work, and it's like 95 degrees this time of year in the little maintenance corner I work in. Seems like the solder takes way longer than normal to harden. (I basically do ghetto mods all day to fix broken crap, boss is cheap and I'm maintenance lol) Could mount the flux can to the board too with a couple screws.

What's the 9v battery for? Just the LEDs? You could use an old PSU for power instead, and the fan too. Wouldn't have worry about batteries anymore

de.das.dude · Jul 22, 2013

its for the fan and batteries. 9V one is actually giving 10V now that its full. i couldnt find my spare PSUs.

I'm sure you could run by Goodwill and find a ~10-15 or so volt laptop charger assuming, you know, you don't mind doing a little soldering.

I was going to try using a laptop charger (or three) to power a TEC if I ever decided to go that route. They're generally considered pretty worthless.

ghetto air cooler
http://img.techpowerup.org/130502/02052013412.jpg

made from a 100 pack dvd case and a panaflow 113CFM fan

this is actually rather crafty :cool:

Now my son can make use of all them empty cd spindles and make something to cool this hot as hell router.

de.das.dude · Jul 22, 2013

i can find my old power supplies. but i am a bit tangled in internship at a plant now. so no time. i already have a 18V output transformer, and can get 12V regulators easily.

A better way to do that is to cut an hole in the top and super glue an chipset heatsink to the main chip and put an 40mm fan on it and run the fan from the 12V power input of the router

you'll need to find a tall chipset HS though something like this would probably do the job nicely
