The Ultimate Heat Mod!!!

[Spec_Ops2087]

Yes you heard right!! I did the ultimate mod for a heat problem...here is the catch...the heat isn't for the computer but for me....the A/C ran out of Freon and it is hot as a crack in the house although the basement(where I am) is a little cooler(it being underground :D)...well since my Bday hasen't come yet(that when I get my new comp) I have a spare delta 120mm 171cfm fan lying around...I used to put it on the desk but I clipped my finger because it almost blew itself off the side....after that it was the end of it being on the desk...

So I got an idea...why not screw it in on the desk a little bit further away from me!! :D

Well that I did...I got the drill and drilled two holes(you'll see why only two) and then scred it in...the problem was that I wanted it to blow on me and the screw worked the other way...you may know what I'm talking about...I have a pic of the screws

can you believe the picture of the screws, the fan is ON going 5800rpms!! WOW!! I got a good camera :D...too bad the rest didn't come out very well =\

Without further ad do do...here is my smartest mod to date :D

why not just put a fan guard on each side. then u can put it closer or hold it up or even strap it to your head!

[Spec_Ops2087]

you'll be suprised...that thing blows your hand back if the air hits somthing very close to it...it is VERY powerful and I rather not hold it even with fan guards...brings back memories of the fight with me and the fan blade...sorry to say I lost :cry:

How about fan filters?They mount like fan guards and completely block anything from getting into the fan blades. I personally like the Idea of terrorizing that evil black varmint a yours.

[Spec_Ops2087]

yeah but I rather not have filter for two reasons...

1.they block some airflow...not much but I want ALL air coming at me since it hi 101F over here and humidity is like 70%!! NJ sux in the summer!!:mad:

2. it is sweet when bugs get sucked into the fan:D

[Spec_Ops2087]

i say! worlds most pointless and effetless Mod!

lol...well for the most part yes...but when your sitting in a 90F house and you have 171cfms of air blowing on you....it is far from pointless :D

Yeah, I lost to a Volcano 6 fan.

The tip of my index finger went in...and came out in a gush of blood. Amazing how it didn't short anything out splashing everywhere like it did! I'm still healing and it's been weeks. I can't fingerpick my guitar any more...grrrr!

My dad would sure have a :argue:

But of course.... i always win :beer:


Heh, i like to change the subject. :burn:

LOL. I just bough a digital camera (cheap one too, 99USD, refurd, perfect condition). I ran off to try the same thing as you did as soon as I saw it. worked quite well, though it's not going 5800RPM. It's just a desk fan, i have no idea of the speed

[Spec_Ops2087]

sidewindercomputers said that they WILL BE GETTING THEM!!!!! those 172 monster they will be getting ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Now we will feel TRUE power!! I will say they were very nice and seemed like they were 18 or so :D no auto-response thank god!

Cool. Gotta love it when a company will do something like that for you.

Stoanhart's response reminded me of my air circulator I used once upon a time. When my CPU fan went out, I had to wait for a new one to ship in and so, I used just a little case fan. Only pushed 35 CFMs and my temps shot up. I didn't like that (I was used to 32's at idle, now they were ~45's). On top of that, my chipset fan decided to go out, so I was running a heat risk there too.

I took this air circulator/filter that my father had once used to filter the air in our house, took the side off my case, and blew my pc away. I don't know how many CFMs that was, but it was almost intolerably loud for my gaming settings. My temps were back to normal and I had a conversation piece at that weekend's small LAN I hosted.

I wish I had a digital camera...I'd take a picture of it for you guys.

[ssjwizard]

i think ill get one of those 172mm fans if i ever make another evaporative cooler.

[Penguin4x4]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These'd make the PERFECT Heater Core Fan!!:eek: :D :burn:

[Starfoxer]

yea, dual 172 monsters on a heatercore! ear plugs included! :p

[Penguin4x4]

:eh?: 1 would be more than sufficeint. ~120-200CFM@~35dB@7v.
