Ghetto Mods

HalfAHertz · May 12, 2011

I can't see how this can be helpful. The airflow and the filter permeability remain the same but the surface of the filter increases which would decrease total cooling performance.
Actual Airflow = (Rated Airflow - Filter Permeability) / Filter Surface

The only benefit I can see is that due to the increased surface, the filter will get less dirty over time and maybe last longer but at the cost of efficiency.

i think highest airflow filters are the ones that are shaped like an accordion

rightey you are mate. its all down to maximize surface area. the more bends, the more surface area= more flow~

Look at what I did:

you need to flip the top and bottom fans so that the top fan is sucking hot air out of your case not blowing in and the bottom fan so that it is sucking cool air into your case

simple as unscrew the fan flip over and screw it back on, even a small amount of cooler air will drop the temps on you graphics card north bridge and cpu aswell

Fixed that already. And if you haven't noticed the "ghetto mod" was wrapping almost all of the wires (and all the SATA cables) in electrical tape.

A simple mod on a LG Blu ray player. The fan on the right is the old fan which was replaced with some thing that actually removes air.

Next i am thinking of making a funnel that leads from the heatsink which gets so hot you cannot touch it for more than 1 second. The Sony 570 i found the same issue which a lot of these DVD\Bluray players have and i say DVD player to as the one i got some time ago had the same issue which was a lack of a fan that the higher model had.

I put tape over the left side of the unit to so it would not get air from that side of the unit as the blu ray player part is there. but anyways it works about 9 times better than the old fan

entorpy, I'll let that slide as ghetto, but next time you'd better use hot glue or duct tape.
:laugh:

Not sure how clear this is, but I bought a new heatsink, and it's heatpipes were layed flat meaning I could no longer use the stock cooling plate on my 6870.

How ever due to AMD funky design ( putting taller components in-between mosfets) meant I couldn't attach decent cooling without going ghetto.

So out came my hacksaw! Cut of just the mosfet section of the cooling plate.

Bad picture is due to it being pitch black at the time the photo as taken lol will take a better one later.

The copper heatsinks are what I wanted to stick directly to the mosfets.

Yes, please take the card out and get a better pic with actual lighting instead of flash lol

Done!

Couldn't be bothered to remove the heatsink I'm afraid.

And one just for fun to show how big my new heat-sink is.

Phone cameras suck for compensating for things being lighter on one side : [

theJesus · Jun 11, 2011

Nice, how long did it take with the hacksaw?

Not as long as I'd of thought, but I was suffering from a hang over at the time so it wasn't very pleasant XD

Maybe 5 minutes?

It was only slightly more resistant than oak really.

theJesus · Jun 11, 2011

Hmm, I guess hacksaws are more effective than I thought. I still always pull out my Dremel though

(FIH) The Don · Jun 16, 2011

mlee49 · Jun 16, 2011

i talked him into thinking about using an aquarian pump preliminary (i use one in my thrid rig together with a screw bucket... works flawless)... the bottles were simply the best crap that stiven had flying around, for building a res!
