my ghetto duct mod

ImportPsycho · Aug 14, 2003

I was at homedpot to buy something and noticed this air duct.
pick one one for like $5 and didn't even use 1/5 of it to do this.
this is just temp.
now that I know it works, I'll get or make em better

xp1700 @ 2300mhz(200x11.5)

before 41 idle 47~9 load
after 35 idel 42~5 load

more important thing is that now i can run at 2400mhz(200x12)
which wasn't possible before, cuz crappy cooler ( ventec aeroflow)

Those come with Antec pre-windowed side panels

Very cool! I like that you added ducts to the back to seperate PSU air from the fresh - Something I've always told people to try but never listen!

not bad. how much did the tubing cost. which section was it in? it come in exactly 92mm? 80mm?

and how did you secure it? i'm considering ti since i already have a buncha intakes nearby

ImportPsycho · Aug 14, 2003

I think it is about 75mm, not excatly 80mm
but it's ok since 80mm fan isn't excatly 80mm either.
it's fits perfectly around the hole.
I used hot glue gun

ah well, decided against it because my vantec stealths wouldn't match rpms with the zalman and that would suck in a duct. i don't feel like buying a 2nd zalman fan.

i made http://www.fox302.com/index.pl?s=vf&user=oroo&category=slk800&file=Applejacksduct.jpg instead

applejacks box fan adaptor. 92mm fan to 86mmx58mm for slk. dropped ~4c

USUALLY I am ANTI Ghetto... but I have to say that doesnt look half bad. In fact I would consider doing that.

Nice job.

went to home depot and found the ducts. 3" and 4" versions of each type. theres yours which is more rigid and theres the foil over wires. 8 dollars for 2.4meters of the foil one. harder type didn't cost much either.

they are clothes dryer exhaust ducts

I recently reversed my duct from intake in the front to the rear instead but noticed that the power supplies heat was being sucked back into my case thru the duct. Today I moved my duct back to the front of my case where temps are better. I like the way you seperated your Power supply's heat w/ an extra duct..it looks very clean and tidy..besides, who looks in the back of your case anyways?

the foil accordian dryer ducts would work for you puer to prevent the air short circuit. they keep their shape when bent

just use electrical tape

Hey good job ImportPsycho that thing even looks cool

Janissary · Aug 18, 2003

Oh man the outlet looks like an dragster exhaust.

Let's see when this is gonna happen, a car exhaust fan ducting mod.

I like you gettho mod guys keep on workin

ihavenogoodname · Aug 18, 2003

Hey man....don't be stealing my car exhaust idea. Then again it was gonna be more than an exhaust. Was gonna make it look like one of those rice rockets

CGR · Aug 18, 2003

How did you attach the ducts to the back of the case?
