Put it on her, make sure pins are facing away from you and give her a tight hug lol.



My daughter wore it last night and it looked superb and I'm going to put one on a leather string for my son too. He studies music tech and wants to wear in at college............:peace:


I just hope they arent too toxic if worn close to the skin :eek:

I always just use a hairdryer and pit it into the opening of the sock. Dries in about 3 minutes.
I have to do this a lot considering it floods every other week here.

About 6 hours in total. Lots of drying time between coats of varnish.

I made a smaller one for my son last week. Not as good quality but done in about 3 hours.

My son studies music, its going to have a hard life so i anticipate "running repairs"

I had nothing to lose, now running leak test till morning (it's 3.06 am here in Finland) so then I'll see does it work like it should.

The only mistake I made was to cut the hose too close to the pump, so I have to McGyver it somewhere.. :D

edit: And I got that pump for free. :)

edit 2: Since it's not an AIO anymore, so should I just call it a H2O cooler? Suggestions?

and btw, not a single drop of water leaked :)

Benchmark Scores Turns on on the first try! Usually.
One screw that holds my GPU fan (out of three) lost the thread on it so the fan casing started vibrating at a certain rpm. I figured i might as well up the cooling a bit on the card as well as replace the casing. So I ordered spare Accelero Extreme IV fan from Arctic. Around €8 plus shipping.

Removed the stock shroud and fan and mounted Accelero on the new heatsink, zip-ties where needed. I made a little stand-off on the rear vent of the card to prevent the fan from hitting the heatsink.

I did a quick temp check with Valley bench (highest temp):

-stock 71 degrees, a bit audible
-/w Accelero 58 degrees on 100% barely audible.

Also, VRM temps never exceeded 61 degrees during the test.

My very old PC case which isn't in use since 2010. I found it in some sealed box in the attic. I modified it with 115 mm angle grinder, drill and fine round hand file to increase cooling capacity and decrease temperatures. It was my second PC, so back them I didn't care much about aesthetics. Despite ugly looking, it was functional and temperatures were on average 5°C lower. Setup inside was AMD Athlon 3000+ Barton / ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe (dead) / Sapphire X1950 Pro / 2,5 GB Kingmax DDR 400 / 160 GB WD HDD.

Yep, it looks ridiculous, but hey, temps were 5°C lower! Intake was pulling too much dust inside, so I improvised and made my own dust filter. Intake was blowing cool air directly into the CPU cooler, while exhaust was extracting air from the GPU. :) Back then (that was in 2006, I think), I can't remember of any new PC cases on the market with dedicated air filters.

I thought
" good Grouping did he use a AR15" :)
AK 74, it's more accurate. ;)

it looks ridiculous, but hey

no i didnt mean it looks ridiculous....Trust me, it looks FAR better than my "modifications" ,i wasnt saying it looks bad, i was just saying that when i was on my iphone, since the screen is so small, it looked like lunch meats and some type of veggies :). i respect that you would re-use an older case...thats something i would do. IMO buying fancy cases is like putting stickers on a PC.

this is an example of MY mod's.....o_O hot glues fan speed switch in front of case..
