i dont have enuff space to put 2*120cm fans just enuff space to put 2*80cm fans... maybe i should show u guys my ongoing mod so that u guys can get clear view how much space i got n recommend me anything good what should i put... n btw, after some thinking, i decided not to use uv fan.. wont matched with my setup, led still ok la

as tittle
i got a 12cm fan
how to put in on the spot under the graphic card there?
since i dun hav others hardware there
i wan to place a fan facing my graphic card
is there any tools to hang it on there?
an example is like the vizo propeller.

you just need a casing like this.... i m using this casing ! lian-li PC-G7

you can mod a bracket to fix it like that also.

There's alot of system fans or hdd fans sold in the market..

Or just buy aftermarket VGA cooler

there is some PCI card fan sold in cycom also rite ? if i not mistaken

tools u need...

spare PCI slot cover + 2x cable ties.

use the cable ties and tie the fan to the PCI slot cover.... then screw the pci slot cover to the pci slot and ur done

i did this with a 60mm fan.....

120mm fan might be a little harder seeing how its bigger... but try it out first and see if it works..

sniper is not here?
maybe wait after he is here and he will show you his ultimate uber l33t chopstick mod

chopstick >< realli l33t he manage to pull it off

wat kind of cable ties should i use? so i can hold it stronger n wont drop down 1 day =D

normal cable ties lor...i used some small one. just long enough to tie the fan...

no picture of mine..sorry...i took the thing out liao.... but it lasted for around a year though..

isit many types of PCI card fan?
wat i manage to found is only the vizo propeller(not sure spelling) 2 fans with blue color led 1
tat 1 quite not bad but around RM60
normal uv led fan around RM35 and stronger wind... and colour nicer!!!

I used Vizo Propeller complement with Lian Li Patented Fan, the performance is amazing. Drop 5c for my system temperature and 2c idle for GC card 10c for my GC.

The theory is Lian Li Patented fan in-take air flow, Vizo Propeller push the fresh air into my ATI 1950XTX, and my original ATI 1950XTX fan push the hot air out. Simple theory. Works very well.

oh... soli soli for the late reply.

Tengah sniping in Berlin right now for the IFA show...

Below's the patented sniper's el cheapo chopstix vga cooling solution suitable for all fan sizes and rpm.

Disclaimer. This method does not apply to inverted ITX chassis.

Step 1:

Buy 2 packs of tar pau'ed Hai Lam Chicken Rice or just one pack if you can convince the the taukeh to give you 2 sets of chopsticks.

Step 2:

Cut each pair into equal lenghts

Step 3:

Kasi cucuk each of the 4 piece of the now dismembered chopsticks into the fan hole of your fan of choice. In this illustration we use the legendary vantec tornado. Temperature reduction is guaranteed to be significant.





Step 4:

Enjoy your chicken rice.

Haha. This is great. How come I never think about it. haha.

Actually the faster the fan is.. the more stable it is

whoaaaa this is crazy, but i like your idea

i dunno wheter is the rite section or not..but sorry if wrong section.. i have a rig which i buy firstly on colourful L-8036 coloursit casing, but now due to it size, i swap it with my computer at home which is a old casing witout transparent at side, now is can i add 2 fan n try modify side casing become transparent so that i can add LED somemore?
