interesting thread...i been looking around for some DIY fan card solutions also...ended up making one myself.
its very similar to zahri's idea...its damn cheapo solution (imagine using tali rafiah - red color 'wet market' grade wan  - to tie the fans and slot covers together), and manages to reduce gfx temp 2-3 degrees, better than nothing. maybe i'll post pics too when im free. in the mean time shall look forward to zahri's guide  |

QUOTE(zahri @ May 3 2006, 10:11 PM) Here is the image of My PCI EXHAUST FAN CARD. sucking air from my GC eh, is your pci fan card effective? ive wasted time with mine, in the end it didnt improve the temp at all, heck if i put it on the pci slot directly below the gfx card, it even makes it hotter!NOT the 2x 80mm FAN CARD.  wasted 20 bux  lol |

QUOTE(Hiwatari @ May 3 2006, 10:27 PM) ic...but i prefer blowing onto the gc, not sucking Blowing it to the card would lead to dust onto the card which will cause some bad things later. Dust can cause short circuits and even degrade the cooling idea u mention. This happens if u use high cfm fans tho. I think if u use super low cfm fan then it wouldnt be that bad. Try to use coolermaster 80cm fans, its super silent and low cfm. i believe blowing cools better than sucking...cos most cooler blows 2 the heatsink instead of sucks...must b a good reason bhind it  mayb the dual fan will b interesting QUOTE(sbz2000 @ May 4 2006, 09:47 AM) i heard not so good things about coolviva but i also heard good things from internet review, how is it rate actually? any pros and cons? Coolviva's purpose is to give a better temp and more silent compared to stock cooler at stok speeds. If u overclock it then its a total different story. Coolviva cannot release the heat that fast causing the heat delayed at the heatsinks before being released. The best ones would be DIY socket A hsf but its a a bit troublesome and u need some know how to do it. Artic Silencer would be a better choice to u. But if u really on a tight budget and would like to DIY then u can experiment it with some cable ties. Make sure it wont fall down and touch the core nicely then fired it up with ur rig. Happy DIYing. |

HERE is THE 2x 80mm FAN DIY
* SORRY for the PICS, CAMERA GILA... will update the pics once i have the proper time TOOLS 1. Cutter 2. Lighter / Something hot to shrink a heatshrink ITEMS needed 1. Cable Ties , around 20 or more 2. Black Tape or Heatshrinks. 3. 2 x 80mm FAN ( any brand, up to you ) 4. PCI SLOT Back Plate  1. Put the 2 80mm FAn side by side, and slide in the cable tie between the two fan.  so u will be attaching 4 cable ties to connect the two fan. 2. After that, tighten each cable tie nicely and cut the excess cable with cutter  3. Insert another cable tie at the end to hold the PCI SlOT BACKPLATE. Like in the pics. Cut the excess Cable...  4. Once u are done. Cut the two wires from the two fan evenly and Connect the wires between the two fan to a molex connector. 2 fan to 1 molex. remember RED to RED . BLACK TO BLACK  f you dont want to do any cutting u can use 2 molex to connect the fan together, if u want to make it look nice and neat, u can sleeve it THIS IS THE COMPLETED FAN CARD  If there is anything u want to ask, feel free to ask me GOOD LUCK This post has been edited by zahri: May 12 2006, 05:38 PM |

Somehow using the BTX design, my Ati Silencer on my 9800XT is performing well by releasing quite amount of heat compared to ATX design. Its quite hot even if im not using any 3d itensive apps. Maybe u can find a casing that can use a BTX design and suits your budget ?
