( I THINK MINE IS NOT MODDING ) ( if is not, i will close this thread )

Heya guys,

I'm making this thread to show we are SMART-MODDING not PROS aka HARD-MODDING. (also bcoz i saw someone cool his ram using normal fan)

We dont have to be PRO, we just need to be SMART...

So, join and show that we can mod too..... but in the SMART way.......

Join now and we can create brilliant ideas to make our PC better and cool ....

i show mine first....

___________________________________________________________________

smart modder tidy their cable.......

so plisss tidy up ur cable....

im sure alot of us here does that since the majority of us does not have the proper tools required to do some hard modding. But im pretty sure most of us put cable management in priority, no point having lots of fans cooling when your cables are distorting the air flow in the case itself.

stock hsf? = =

been there and done that...

my previous case....


added a 60mm fan to help bring fresh air from the front intake to my 8800GTS 320 SLI GCs


also my DIY ram cooler... cable tied the 2nd 120mm fan to the CPU HSF (was using XP-120)

looks like im using a GeminII (actually only XP-120)



and of course complete view...cable management done...

WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SLI 8800........ fuh....

i only can cry now cos my mobo burn....

keep up the good job guys

^
this is wat we call a smart modder...
pretty nice...

Nice cabling, very neat and tidy. Your casing could fit the IFX-14 tremendously well

good thread, i also want to join, will post pics of inside my casing after this, some pisc of outside it u all can see in my siggy, now a bit diff coz just getting 8800gts (replace my 1950XT) and did some modd on the 8cm rear fan....

cant wait to see bro skyline rig....

i think this thread should be named "simple yet efficient modding"/ghetto mod or something else lo. coz pro modders also smart la...

this is mine,my casing's side panel doesnt have holes for fan,n to mod the side panel is costly too! im using 8800GT n the temperature during load is reaching 77 dgrees! to cool down the temperatures,i just simply tied a 120mm fan to the caasing chasis.n this is how it look like...



sorry coz blur image!using phone cam only

how u stick the P3 fan to ur RAM??

mod fan casing abit and put double sided tape.
now my ram cool than before. running at 920 now .

ur double side tape stick at where and where??

stick at modified fan base and top of the ram.

seriously i love ur 7yr old pc ..very simple n nice..tidy..

correction . its 7yrs old casing with <3month old hardware

the top of the ram enough mer?? wont hurt the RAM??

it wont hurt the ram..the fan juz pushes air..so no harm..or maybe juz little vibration issue..but the tape also a vibrating damper..so..yup! no problem

this isnt a simple yet efficient mod....but a cheapo and efficient repair

heres a pic of the patient....its a cheapo wireless keyboard with integrated cursor control (aka built in mouse) this is what i use to control my HTPC. works perfectly except for 1 thing...


see the thing in the yellow circle? thats where the KB is spoiled...theres a plastic piece under it..its BROKEN!!!
makes controlling the cursor friggin difficult....


heres a pic of the broken plastic piece under the rubber


seperating them


picture of the plastic piece...can see that its broken


so after opening it up....and fixing it (forgot to take pix....sorry) heres the end result...i replaced the plastic piece with something that confirm wont break... a metal screw! just screw it in to the spring inside only.......the rubber piece cant be fitted in...coz the screw too long and i dont have a shorter screw.


and finally the overall look


repairs done....and cost is FREE!!! doesnt look too bad.... and best of all its working perfectly again

this also saved me from paying more money buying a replacement

then when u want to take out the RAM then u need to take out the fan? would it be difficult?

lol......creative wor...

Vizo propeller fan-DIY version



need two 8cm fans and any graphic card backplate, i took those backplate from my faulty 6600gt card
attach all parts by using cable tie, and voila!! this how it will look like








in action...provide more air to my graphic card





sorry for the low res photo, using crappy handset's camera

able to reduce GC temp by 5-7 degree

very tidy and nice..mine very messy.

i love your setting, dusty a little, just like mine. haha

i have the same wireless KB too, didn't know the stick will snap. didn't used it cause i it requires aiming towards the receiver. Thumbs up on the mod

thanks...then what wireless keyboard u using? the same type i.e. built in pointer controller? or seperate mouse n keyboard?

nice topic.gonna try that vizo propeller mod soon,with two 12cms lol.

ok guys,lets say u wanna 'emulate' gemini lookalike (two 12cms) on a stock AMD x2 am2 hsf,whats the best way to do it?

using zalman's fan bracket kinda nice but wont reach far up there.

and talk about 'emulate' running watercooling tubes,oww come on,some fake aesthetics wont hurt. lol





cheap plain cable wraps sprayed with fluorescent paint.super bright under UV

Attached thumbnail(s)

This one's mine... just removed all the fans from my mobo n GC... want to re-arrange again later for better airflow...


Fans Galore... ranging from 80mm-120mm fans...


My Arc-Arsenal...


My Xigmatek S1283+Nidec Beta V


And here's what i use the stock Xigmatek fan for when eating... Cooling my hot foods... nyum2...

Conclusion-Cheap mods for my pc is take it out from the case! hehehe... change fans for the HSF... but still finding a way to mount my 2xDelta 90mm fans to cool down my GC... like my old pc...


Whole system of my old PC...


Fan Mod with the graphic card... removed the 40mm stock fan and installed this 80mm MONSTER! Starting to collect dust also... hmmm...

My casing simple mod:




My attempt to silence my pc (b4 getting my headphone):



There's still noise coming from my pc, after disable ALL the fans in my pc (incl. CPU heatsink), the main noisemaker is my psu fan, st50f . Oh well, doesn't matter coz I'm using heaphones .

ouch bro..seem not nice after modded

Sorry to say that ur casing is not very attractive like before leh

the only ouch part i feel is the cutting of the fan grill...

that is some cool looking hdd placing ..really .like that .

I'm planning to replace my casing, thats why I berani mati buat camtu.. Hehe..

If u want throw away, better sell it to me cheap ma..

my idea of sound insulating the case is by using cardboard boxes. the cardboards will somehow absorb sound waves ryte? its quite soft i think. better use one of those softer cardboards. well this is my idea. dunno if it'll be good enough or will the cardboard insulate too much heat and make the pc warmer. that i dunno laa..
