True, but the dremel looks more appropriate.

Nice work h3llb3nd4, but I'd expect nothing less from you.

i am back.... seems i missed out on some interesting conversation about cars, food and chicas...

anyway, this is what i am waiting for..."a new CF mount for the CPU cooler"..amongst other things....

KEEP IT UP, MK!

MKmods · Jul 3, 2009, 11:22 PM

thanks tzi and welcome back..

its funny, when I did my first PS mod using the PS Power & Cooling 510 I sent them a pict thinking they would be impressed....Lets just say they wernt happy campers...

I am rebuilding the PS right now, I found a better place for the 6pin GPU connectors, I removed a few parts and added a couple more.

tzitzibp · Jul 3, 2009, 11:30 PM

I need to catch up! next thing I know you'll be modding something quite different! Again! lol

so is it i7, then?

MKmods · Jul 3, 2009, 11:45 PM

Yep, its like i7 cheating with a Xeon Nehalem W3503 for now...

No more changes I promise

Scrizz · Jul 4, 2009, 06:35 AM

You said simple things

.
Still a brilliant mod Mk but it seems you lost your way a bit with the simple part.

MoonPig · Jul 4, 2009, 10:28 AM

I think i'm gunna have to learn about electronics... i mean, High School work didn't really help.

Might help be in the future

Anyways, looking good MK. Inspirational.

LOL, technically its one of the simplest comps ever....Wiring removed....

(lets just not think about the many hours of trial/error getting this to work well)

The other part I was wondering what would happen if both ATX connectors were connected to a PSU. Would they effectively load balance each other and the result be more stable power and more available watts or would the whole thing just go up in the Mysterious Blue Smoke™

You both may be on to something here..

MoonPig · Jul 4, 2009, 05:10 PM

Lol MK, you now have the perfect Avatar and an amazing quote.. lol.

MKmods · Jul 4, 2009, 07:42 PM

Thanks to h3llb3nd4..

Ok I laminated the CPU bracket and its curing now (lol, needs 24 hours) I used 2 layers of CF placed at 45deg for an extra bit of strength with a filler in the center and 2 more CF layers on top.

I got 2 of the heatsinks mounted on the mobo (the holiday messed me up and I need to order the last heatsink mon (Enzo MST-88)

il post some picts tomorrow of the CPU bracket when I remove it from its mold.(crossing fingers, lol)

Here is what I got so far

DanishDevil · Jul 5, 2009, 12:08 AM

OMG that cooler looks GORGEOUS. Is it just painted?

Also, a tad off topic, I was thinking of getting my full copper S-1284EE nickel plated to prevent tarnishing and for some extra bling. Worth it? Some places charge a minimum of $110 for it

MKmods · Jul 5, 2009, 12:14 AM

Yep, I used a lacquer paint (goes on thinner than Enamel) On my earlier AC Freezer coolers I found no dif in temps when using a reasonable coat of paint (not a big heavy drip all over the place coat, lol)

I need to get a tripod and learn picts soon as in person its a lot cooler.

here is a shot of the first freezer with my X800GTO (thats quite a while ago)

LOL, I just noticed my workbench, dam it was pretty back then...

look at it now...

Lol nice! I like what ya are doin here. Looks really complicated with the power supply/ mobo tray mod. and is that Black and Decker RTX 3-speed rotary tool? If so, they are MUCH better than Dremel and I got mine for $20! Cuts so much better.
