Yes I have been markkleb on all the forums. I figured this year its about time to stop goofing off.
I have had mkmods .com for a long time and never did anything with it.

EDIT:
When I started this mod I checked the temps here they were after I played TF2 for about 20 min (with a junk stock type alum CPU cooler)

I just finished 30min in TF2 and look at the diff (using the painted AC Freezer)

One thing to notice is in the first temps I was using my 8600GTs in SLI and my second one is the 8800GT..what a difference.
I will be swapping the FX62 for my X2 6400 and lapping it to see if it gets better.

damn, you got some mad airflow now!!! that's a huge difference!

Its gonna get a LOT better. I will tune the airflow, Lap the CPU and coolers. Definately gonna put a Thermalright on the Chipset and experiment with some different TIMs...

Oh yea look at the front

Definitely gonna have to be modded for better flow.

And just a note for you Intel guys, this is a 125watt AMD..I bet the 65watt Intels would run even cooler.

Fitseries3 · Mar 1, 2008, 02:43 AM

overclock it and join the comp...

this weekend I am gonna make ur cooler, next week I will mess with this...

I just goof off with OCing so those of you who know what is better? I have a FX 62 and a X2 6400, which should I use? And Lap the surface or remove the IHS?

And for TIM (paste), AS 5 or?

I want to throw on the Thermalright Hr 05 as well.

Don't try to delid a 6400 or 6000+, trust me. lol http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=41746

Anyway, use the 6400. Generally clocks higher. Even the bad ones usually hit 3.4Ghz at around 1.5V. That's what mine did, and it ran nice and cool on a lapped AC F64Pro. 55C max load, and 24/7 stable.

As far as TIM, you can't go wrong with the tried and true as5, there's also MX-2 and Ceramique which perform great.

Had to register to post and say sorry to hear about what ever happend over at OCN. I can't see the worklog yet because I'm at work and its blocked, but I can't wait to get home and check out the latest pics.

I'll edit when I get home, and keep up the good work

MKmods · Mar 2, 2008, 06:36 PM

Thanks for stopping by Dunc4n. I am lapping the X2 6400 and will be popping it in in a few.

DUNC4N · Mar 3, 2008, 05:32 AM

Wow, man makes me want to tear apart, and start over. Amazing work

MKmods · Mar 3, 2008, 05:38 AM

Thanks Dunc4n..and welcome to TPU, keep tuned as there will be quite a few upgrades soon...
[like a corsair 520(thanks to spacegoast), another 8800GT and the TForce 590mobo, some side window action, lighting and maybe a face done like my UltraBlue mod with a touch of Carbonfiber thrown in]

(and dont tell anyone but there will be a bit of soldering wires to the mobo too)

beyond_amusia · Mar 3, 2008, 10:00 AM

AMAZING mod!

If wish my tower looked just half as good as this one will turn out to be.

I was going to atleast paint my case, but I hate removing all the components and stuff... I'll have to upload pix of my tower sometime so it can get a 1/10 vote, lmao.

while you have it empty before you paint it, mod the fan mounts for better breathing...

I was posting a spam in wtf8269's case thread and it came to me. For the rebuild of this mod I will use my PC power & Cooling 510 (I bought a Corsair 520, oh well).
My 510 has been modded a bunch of times in my SFF cases so its pretty butchered up.
I think what I will do is make a new CarbonFiber case for the PS with the wiring sticking out the back of the mobo side and instead of 1 80mm exhaust fan I will put a pair of AC8s blowing through it.

Il post up some picts this week when I get some time.

JrRacinFan · Mar 4, 2008, 05:00 AM

Heya MK, Just got back from a "vacation". DSL was down.

After looking at everything you really have done a great job and hopefully will see some more work from you.

Keep up the awesome work!

I think it would look better on your mobo, on my mobo it looks out of place (my memory is in different location)
LOL, it does look kind of different...
