Ghetto Mods

Why do you need two modems? And why do they need heatsinks?

dual modems is for higher bandwidth surfing thats an old old trick for 56kers the heatsinks however i'm confused on
 
If you have a mobo with A gigabyte port and a gigabyte port with a PCI slot, then you can re route your Router and have a faster connection that way. But it's around 100 dollars to even start thinking about that Router... Darn it!
 
This is my part of the ghetto mods.. Pretty dam ghetto i must say :cool:
Notice the black cable tie holding the waterblock down and the 4oMM fan cooling the Memory..

I love the twisty ties! Gives it the look that you just thought about it after the lunch you just had!
 
Well i bascially did actually.. i thought about it at school during a very boring Maths lesson.. I was like*cha ching*.. Then i didnt have any other way to put it.. :D
 
Hey, the best thoughts come when your trying to think else where! Whatever works.... WORKS!
 
yeah but the waterblock cable tie was one of those "sit down and think very intensely about it" moments and it was the best i could come up with..
 
hey, you never know, someone here might find a way to help you with that!?
 
Well the only solution viable to me is to get a new CPu waterblock unfortunately.. Mayb MkMods can come and mod my waterblock ;)
 
MK can do anything! I know that for a fact! PM him and see.. Might take a while, but it might work!?
 
cant you just put anothre plate over and under to sandwich the side and tap holes for the mobo?
 
I dont fully understand what u mean cdawall?? Cant visualize it..
 
You know how a bolt has a washer at the bottom, then its the object, and then the nut on top? I believe thats what he's thinking about.
 
I think its way to late here..I cant think straight :D will wake up tomorrow and see what i can do.. Thanks for the suggestions cdawall gna try it...
 
those heat sinks are because they are overcloked to 105 kbps and they overheat :p

Who remembers this? 2x80mm fan bolted onto either side of the 9550 :laugh: In addition Copper RAMsinks, and core clocked at 500 Memory at a pitiful 280...

On a tragic note the 9550 is dead. Why? Because someone sat on the box when i was taking it to my apartment.
 
Here are a few of mine from the little 939 socket Gateway...the cooling in this thiing was atrocious! HDD was very hot and all of the heat from the vid card stayed in the case. Case is way too narrow the put fans inside so i went down and bought the appropriate holesaws and went to work. One 80mm TT fan and a Sliverstone 120mm on the side...Fan controller on back sports an automotive switch holder that I moddified to house some fan controller that newegg used to sell but is unavailable now, can't rmember the name, anyway it's velcro'd to the back of the case...That controls the 80mm Vantec Tornado exhaust fan. This ugly configuration has been running effectively now for 2 years... :-)

Here's something kinda ghetto but not too crazy. 8800gt was overheating at around 80+C and would crash so I tied a fan to it.

Works pretty well. Getting around 65C under load. This is temporary until my 8800GT Akimbo cooler gets here. Can't wait.
 
As per request from ColdStorm, I figured Id show off the fan mod for my gils Nb cooler.
