Weee

Just got a pack of 80mm fansfrom Captain Slug in the Classifieds, had no holes for them..Soo..Our friend Mr.Zippy came to the rescue!

The second one shows how I have both of them blowing air over my video card, Which has allowed me a 30Mhz boost in the stable OC of the core and RAM.

Forgive the poor pics, Cheap webcam is all I have >_<

[EDIT]

Well, fragging hell. second image got corrupted somehow, Frag it. Sorry all, I'll retake it tomarrow.

Zipties, 3M Duct Tape, coat hanger, cyanoacrylates, epoxies, and a roll of Alu Tape.

You can do anything...

sirtoby · Jun 18, 2003

bah.. all you need is duct tape and hot glue..

rogerdugans · Jun 18, 2003

Duct tape, zip ties, a knife and a pair of vise grips.

These are the Ultimate Emergency Tools.

For anything.

Car, house, computer, boat, airplane- it just doesn't matter!

That is a good way to get better video card cooling. You would think that one of these days they would flip the video cards over so that the GPU and RAM would get better cooling.

Thank You,
Daniel

I'll repost the second image, plus a few more on Thursday.

Pulling a double shift today, only home for a few hours to eat, nap and shower before I'm off again.

Ben721 · Jun 18, 2003

How's the noise factor?

Also my weapon of choice is zipties and postal tape.

Beast Of Blight · Jun 18, 2003

No noise what so ever, Even with my TV, Radio and My room fan off, I can barely hear my computer at all.

Thats a combination of my 120mm Sunon, 80mm coolermaster HSF, and my two new 80mm fans that are pictured above, plus the PSU.

Lets just put it this way, if you just heard my computer.. you'd think it was water cooled, its that quiet.

GameFAQsRolo · Jun 18, 2003

Yep, zipties are great. Like someone mentioned earlier, I also like my glue gun

. I never thought of recycling zipties, thanks for the tip.

Ben721 · Jun 18, 2003

I think that's going to be my main objective, to quiet my pc. It will be easily done by swapping the psu fan, and adding silent fans.

I like zipties.

That's all I have to say about that.

Actually on second thought. Don't use zipties against sharp objects. They will get cut LoL!

What scares me the most is that it sounds like you had to learn that the hard way..

Toysrme · Jun 19, 2003

No, but if you've ever cut one under tension with a knife...

Nothing more than light pressure on a sharp object is all it takes! Weak plastic...

trdsw20 · Jun 19, 2003

bought 1000 of them a while back and use them for anything and everything but I still have a crap load left.

MaxiKana · Jun 19, 2003

Depends on the quality of the zip tie
