after searching for the correct size of screws on my screwbox, finally found one which is near to the perfect length

if you want to attempt this type of mod (securing screw onto PCB), make sure that you use nylon washer like the ones that i used because the normal paper washer will not be strong enough and you might damage the PCB due to excessive pressure or scratch the PCB as well.

FYI, nylon washers are more resistant to heat and is usually used in watercooling block locking mechanism

i've made some testing with the fan on the GC, it is totally dead silent yet pushes a lot of air an is capable of cooling the whole heatsink together with the ram area because there is no frame to restrict the air direction

with most of the components inside the casing, this is how it will look like......
i did all the mods within 4 intense hour and it is really tiring to execute them out as planned









okay, thats all for the time being......will update more when i planned out what i'm going to do on saturday

Doesn't that defy the whole purpose of silent heatpipe cooling?

my gf say thank u and remember to tidy up ur cables

lol
bro, nice nice.... i had the sugo at my place for a few days,, nice case, not so bad interior... nice to see that its gona be properly modded... lol....

@sniper
bro u got to remembver that this is AG. runing fanless is like desecrating god.... its a sin. lol....

Yeah, I agree that that fan on the GC isn't absolutely necessary unless she's planning on OCing that card. Ah well, at least that option exists now.

With that DVD stealth mod, is it just pressure thats flicking the open/close switch on?

hahahhha......you know me lah
but it is really not noisy at all, less than 2.5k rpm and without frame somemore....

your sensitive ears are somehow very rare to find ler


ok bro........very excited to see what female modders can do

i havent finish all the wirings yet because i havent finish up on the fans and LEDs yet......dont worry i dont have got more than 60wires running here and there like my own casing



uncle sniper is the god of silence....cant blame him also


the owner is a guy ler........

anyway, if not mistaken that is the GC is an OC version right ?
actually i was quite worried because all the fanless and silent version are prone to heat problem.....

the fan itself is definitely silent and definitely will keep the temperature well below 40°C during idle or load

it works like pressing the button itself, but the mechanism is classified because i troubleshoot for more than 1 hour to get the correct material for it to work nicely and i seriously dont want some bugger to copy my design and make money out of it and take the credit for himself.......

if you want i can send the pics to you

walao.....
nice mod....very intereseted bout cable management...........

where ur location of pg..?might interested ur ram cooler..

AllnGap, remember to check for vibration on the fan that you cantilever over the graphics card. there is only one point of support, i.e. the long screw, so as the fan spins, you might have excessive vibration due to centrifugal force.

Lol oops, my bad i got confused by uglyvamp's post

Thanks for the offer but i think its ok. Probably wont be doing a mod like that as long as i'm still with a lian li case for the time being. Nice one though

I know who you are talking about

Anyway, nice mod as always.

perhaps this is not ur IDEA

I had previously DONE this on my CDRW last time....n this IDEA was found on a US TV programme that I watch 3 years ago~ credit goes to them bro~~

however, nice work u have there....

@ Allngap

don't forget to show us the temp results
with pentium D inside, this definitely swept my worries on C2D procs inside

@ michealelsie

stop quoting the pics

actually, what is the typical idle temp of pentium D? and what about load temp? i am actually thinking of setting up a Pentium D 930 rig. with all these talks about high temp, it seems anything less than a ninja plus would not do!

so sorry bro, i donno the rules here

I just wanna say that the originality is not him only~ so credit must be given to the US PC TV programme guy that whom introduced it 1st world widely 3 years ago ....

but brother allngap work also nice nice la....thumb thumb up up~~~

If ur talking about the guy called Yoshi from Tech TV, he's not the 1 who created the stealth mod. He was just teaching ppl how to do as it's a part of the Tech TV program where he has a tutorial segment on case mods.

The stealth mod is 1 of those things that's been around for ages n no1 really knows who started it so no credit is due.

OH......aiyaya~ i donno le~ i thought was him do this 1st~ so so so sorry le....

at least Yoshi does influence me alot on modding~

but allngap work is clean n tidy ~ good job to him ~

speaking of yoshi, where the heck is that guy now? i miss everyone from he TechTV show. G4 really does it badly when they acquire techtv
