Why should Thermaltake owners have all the fun?
This is a very simple and cheap mod.
-Gut an 80mm fan.
-Cut the outer shell in half. You can do this with a hacksaw or simply score each side with a sharp knife and apply pressure at the score and it should snap there (like cutting tile).
-Drill a small hole in the middle of the half-shell, just large enough to fit a zip or bread tie through it (prefer zip tie, much more secure).
-Screw the half-shell to the backside of your HS fan
-If you're using a wire fan grill, you can use screws on the side where the half-shell is secured to and use the regular wire bracket on the other side
-secure the modded side to your SK(what have you) with a zip tie running between the fins and through the hole
I can't really give you accurate results of this mod as I went from an XP1700 Tbred 204x10 @1.7v with ASIII to an XP2500 Barton 204x11 @ 1.6v with CoolerMaster Shinetsu. I also undid the 12-7volt mod on my 120mm side panel fans. Someone who wants to try this mod please post your results here. And now for the eye candy:
