Don't know how to measure CFM. It's 0.45A.
For the CFM, websites mostly said around 80++

PSU mod to change 80mm fan to 120mm fan failed. Opened the PSU and realised the 120mm fan can't fit because of the cables exit and the other fan. So now, only cover change.

@mars and dj.ericzzz
>.> I said I'm not using all...

Mod night tonight... lots of change of plans.
Updates tomorrow.

Done cutting... wait for you until morning also not done.

Some updates on my cacated PSU cover.



Realise the blue stripes? Hmm... few uses for that.
1. To cover the whitish corner due to super glue.
2. To strenghten hold on the joint.
3. Deco

So two more pics of the PSU when compy's on.
Side:


Bottom:

Ahaha... just had to cover whatever which is ugly.
And the blue LEDs aren't really that bright in real. Don't know why it's so blue in the pic. Good idea for the tinted panel. My bro has a few sheets, but they're small and green. Need to buy if really plan to make it.

Actually, mine is not an extreme rig. Short of all the kewl stuffs.

Hehe.. thanks. The PVC was a bad cover. I only had one size and it isn't big enough.

PSU cannot fit any 120mm fan, the wires blocked.
0.45A really high? I've got a few Sanyo Denki 0.52A, then my computer can really fly

Nah... it's not superglue... it's epoxy.

Thanks guys

I used super glue, so there's the white line.

LOL guys, no flying computer here kay?
Cannot even stand 1 panaflo, had to add a switch to turn it off sometimes.

So got all my items yesterday, also got a bit of income. So today went to get a little more spray, and wires and other small stuffs. Soooooooo... final stage of modding tonight!!

Ahh... I got it within my tight budget =D

Get those disposable plastic ones.

I'm actually unsure because there's a thread in "cooling and hard modding" where it failed a test. But so far, good reviews everywhere.

No changing to watercooling for this rig. Maybe my future rig with better casing and all. (think hard first )

They're talking about the right way to apply glue.

I've already completed everything, just that I took so many pics and don't know how to post.

Here's some which I've never uploaded before. All the side mods.

Making my cube clock to be powered by usb.










Making 2 back fans parallel, to be powered by a 3-pin




One of the many LEDs placed in my casing

Fixing the HSF (Bro's hands pushing pins down onto mobo)


And done with LED fan. (Hee hee~ allngap ram cooler)


Completed switches.


Right


Left (<3 the bluish corner on the acrylic)


Front


Compy <<33


Compy in dark with matching wallpaper

Now, all the different lights

Only the fans


White LEDs highlighting the ram cooler and HSF fins




LEDs on


Everything on

Waiting for my LCD, so no mods lar... a silver or black frame should be good, then stick my blue sprayed paper

I've actually dropped out a few things which I've done, such as the front acrylic piece on the fan holder which is now holding an intake fan.

And cable management sucks without some proper space to hide and short wires. Other than the 24pin which is super long, others like the HDD power just barely long enough to reach the HDD.

I bought that from Coolice, he got it from uglyvamp.

It's not that I like blue alot, it's just for matching...
And this, is because of having extra spray.

Anything which I think I won't destroy in the process.

dj.eRicZzz is my lil bro.
About the si-128, I'm not very sure if the bottom position will affect the performance much since the concept of heatpipes is to conduct heat from the hotter side to the cooler side. Which means the angle doesn't affect?

Now correct me if there's another concept behind this thermal conductivity thingy in heat pipes concept. Then I'll gladly learn more.

The fan which came with my iCute casing is not LED fan. It's just a plain black 120mm fan.

*coughs* Hot fluid doesn't flow upwards. That rule only applies to gaseous.
About the fluid flowing back via capilary action... if that's so, then the orientation of the heatsink really doesn't matter. Otherwise, it's best to position the heatsink whereby the heatpipes are at horizontal level.

It cannot be vacuum... because vacuum does not conduct heat.

So now... what I'm gonna do is... make an experiment of whether the orientation of SI-128 affects the performance. And thus, solve all the arguement. Sit quietly and wait for the results!

It was hard work taking out/fixing in the heatsink. Had to take out the whole mobo because the clips are so freakin hard to be pushed in.

I rotated the heatsink 180degrees so that the heatpipes are at the bottom, like what r4ydc24 suggested. And tested it for one whole week.

And what I got was:
Idle: 44
Load: 51

Before that, it was:
Idle: 45
Load: 49

A little update here on what I've done within the 1 week.
A fan controller.

The components:




Will update on the casing cover later.
