CoolerMaster V8 Mod

[steelkane]

you know that stock fans 1800RPM i would of gone for some thing high than 100RPM more, good job though

I'm using a Scythe SY-1225SL12SH SlipStream 120mm Fan 1900RPM 110CFM 37dBA
The fan that came with the V8 will go in my fan bin.
stock fan 61CFM, new Fan 110CFM,,

Nice fan, it will be loud, also what are you putting it on,, the fan in the V8 is 25mm thick, the fan your looking at is 38mm thick, it wont fit in the V8.http://www.xoxide.com/scythe-ultakaze-120mm-casefan.html

Cpu-z reads 1.376V, But I thought I set it higher in the bios,

 

[Cold Storm]

Wow! I really like the look of the V* in your system. It really matches, but makes everything go well in it.

Where you going to grab the True, black edition? Or was it just a normal True, before you got this one?!

Great mod man! Glad to be able to see it!
Got a delta fan if you want to play around

It was the Thermalright TRUE Black Ultra-120 eXtreme, I wanted that one, but when I seen the V8, it had to be that one,, because I new the cooler was going to stick out the side of the case, & I would have to make a side window around it,, I think the V8 is way better for my setup, & there about the same when it comes to cooling. Thanks for the offer to play around with the delta, But after I make the side panel, this setup will stay like this for a long time. Thanks again for taking interest in my mod, I hope to bring more.

Thermaltake 120mm Smart Case Fan II with LED

Are you looking for a fan for the V8,,
Do you want one with Leds
Do you have a fan controller to plug the fan in or are you plugging it into the motherboard
Does it matter if the fan is quite or loud.

 

[Cold Storm]

Man, I don't think you want to listen to this all day long! I did it for a test for a monthish before going to water. I drove my grandma crazy! lmao

 

[EnergyFX]

Hey Steel... nice mod. I did a little mod to a V8 I have that you might be interested in. I taped a small square of paper behind bots sets of slits on the top cover. The paper helps catch the light and give it more of a "glow".

That was loud,, I still have a 80mm vantec tornado, like 45dba, when I got a phone call,, they would ask if I was vacuuming, never again,

Nice, I put some paper on the outside,, it did give it more of a glow, when I take it apart in a month or so to clean the dust out, I'll give that trick a try,, Thanks,

I believe that fan tops out at 93CFM with 45dba, thats loud, I seen this fan, comes with a control knob http://www.svc.com/y720ccd-25k1-gp.html

wooow , nice modding , first one i see do mod for this cooler and nice case mod too , good work

 

[beesagtig]

Wow! Awesome mod!!

Bit off topic but do V8's fit in Antec 900's?

Thanks,, I would say yes,, I look at the back fan, if it has a 80, 92, or 120mm fan, you could fit a heat sink with that size fan, worst case would be the side fan on the 900 getting in the way.

steelkane im going with a blue led and thermaltake smart fan II thats bit lower than the one your useing 95.22 CFM, when putting the leds in did u put 2 in? and how did you wire that 2 to one cable?

The way I did it was,, two separate Leds, connected to a 3pin, they both get pluged into the 3pin motherboard headers, the 3pin for the fan was extended, & plugs into the zalman fan controller. since I'm using the three pin on the motherboard, the one the cpu would go to, in the bios, I turned off the alarm that monitors the cpu fan RPM. the motherboard you use & fan controller will be different, sit back & map out your power source for your setup. I'm sure it will be different then mine. One other thing, when drilling the holes for the leds,, start off with a small drill bit, then work you way up, till you get the size you want,, I used three sizes, 1/8, 5/32, 1/4, also go slow with the drilling. high speed could rip the fan.

Also, a small hole slightly off-center is correctable when drilling with a larger bit.

i've made the cable what do you think? i made it to go around the bottom of the fan and plug into the MB, just waiting on my fan now

Looks great, have you tested it with the Blue Leds in, also, when you get the Leds, one end will be longer then the other, the long end goes in for the red wire, you'll also have to cut the pins on the Led shorter so it click's into the two pin plug flush, I just put the Led up to the plug, this will let you see how much to cut off, when you cut the pins shorter leave one longer, like it was, just so you done forget which one was longer.

[LiveOrDie]

yes tested works fine i use the same Resistor as you and i made it loop because i wired it wrong to start with lol, i mite need to leave one led out abit one mite be short, and think ill get some green leds, thanks hope u had a good xmas.
