modding a TaiSol CGK760

[Dr3w]

Ive read a few storys on these forums about plp with a modded version of this heatsink to take a 80ml fan!

I was wondering if this was a simple as mounting the fan at an angle (as the sink has one side 80ml already)

Im sure i read that it was possible to actully bend the shorter side of the sink to 80ml wide- anybody done this

Idealy i would love to see some (or even one) pics of this hs modded with an 80ml fan

THANKS

Screw in the fan screws without the fan, attach an 80mm fan to an 80mm finger guard, put the fan finger-guard first onto the screws on the 760 and turn the fan until it locks in place.

thankyou very much- but im a bit confused as to what you are saying

even though you have put it as simpley as possible

using this method- im guessing that the fan guard istself gets caught on the screws attached to the 760- right?

if so then i DO understand- if not then im still confused

http://htgk.org/mknet/kleozy_heatsink.html just foudn this one aswell

which do U think would be better- the first offers better cpu cooling i feel but the overhang of the second one would also give generla system cooling

 

[fOrMIs]

.. the "manzzon" way .... lowered my cpu temp ... about 5 degrees Celcius .... with a zalman 80 mm ... 50-51 degrees full load .... it works fine for me ...

[Dr3w]

was that temp drop from using a standard fan- or from using an 80mm the other way- just strapped on?

 

[fOrMIs]

... a fanadapter 60mm / 80 mm with the 80 mm zalman ... to this mod ... 5 degrees drop ..... it's okay ... i think .. ! ... or ... ??

how easy are the fins to bend- do i need a tool to do it or will the power of my hands be enuf

 

[fOrMIs]
