@RickArter Ah right. Well, if you have the cash now, EVGA has a lot of "B stock" for cheap right now. X58 SLI LE for $70ish. Might be worth to grab for later. Just google "EVGA B STOCK." Also, what's your main channel? I don't think you linked it like you were going to.

I hate when you go to a computer shop to buy any good video cards and then they tell you "I'm sorry, this card is no longer in service" and even if we request it, they still won't get it for you. Stupid dealers. 8800GTS rocks, so does the new ones but some old ones are way cheaper than the new ones.

By: zver711. on 01 Jun 10, 22:37:28
I like this case. Interesting idea about putting your rad to the front of the case (as far as I got from the monologue). Get the cool air from the outside and blow it through with a push pull...may also work if you mount at the top? Or mount at the front and use a duct to direct the hot air to the top so it doesn't interfere with the flow inside.

By: hawkeye1103. on 04 Apr 10, 23:21:20
dude that won't work.... because you get a lot of turbulence from the two fans blowing in somewhat oposite directions, they have to help each other direct air. I did that kind of stuff once with my pc and noticed if i put one to get in air and the other to take it out droped the temp with a few degrees. PS: the blower is useless without the case, that's all the thing that makes the blower a blower:) Take care, have fun and do your stuff

If you're so ...
By: zver711. on 31 Mar 10, 06:13:02
If you're so desperate about dropping some temps, just get a 3rd party VGA cooler. I don't think that that stock fan on there doing anything without the duct/hood/cover. Its configured to channel air b/w the fins to the back exhaust, and with no cover its not as effective. I would think.

you think its worth ...
By: sicsoma. on 31 Mar 10, 01:49:12
you think its worth that degree or two of cooling, when compared with the sleek look of the stock blower cover?? (not to mention the space within the tower)

The stock fan would ...
By: AlexOnFire424. on 30 Mar 10, 17:02:43
The stock fan would be so much more efficient if you put the cover back on and simply cut the hole in for the new fan. Pretty much what you mentioned in your other video just eexpanding on that idea. The air being pushed from the stock fan is therefore not being wasted..

Have you replaced ...
By: Aaronage1. on 30 Mar 10, 16:59:34
Have you replaced the thermal paste? Would probably see a drop using some high end paste over the stuff OEM's use :) Great vid, 5/5

I think it would ...
By: HighTreason610. on 30 Mar 10, 16:43:50
I think it would work better if you removed the original fan, as there will be a point where air is blowing against air. Nice video.

By: KillaMarci. on 30 Mar 10, 15:54:56
Are you going to show us how to take the blower style fan off in the next video? Because I can't figure out how to do it on my HD4890. Right now I got it exactly like you did it, except it disconnected the blower style fan and installed 2 80mm fans onto it. Temps didnt get much better, but I did it mainly to reduce the noice the stock fan makes when gaming. 2 80mms are sooo much more quiet :) Cool video man, keep it up.

By: mikeccuk2006. on 29 Mar 10, 12:02:28
you you keep the stock fan why not cut and make another fan hole on the cover for the double fans. then most the air intake is from the back plate of it and the double fan; directly to the cooling fins. I think reversing the stock fan could make your case hot?> which then the air cycle into your double fan. I would prefer all the air out to the back plate instead.

Ah, the old elastic band method, nothing wrong with that, some of my systems have elastic bands, cardboard and sellotape in. I suspect this mod could work to some extent, as what you are doing will not be too dissimilar to the stock cooler on my card.

Great Idea Rick. It made me want to rip my ATI card and start working on it. I might have to start calling you the rubber band man after that mounting job LOL J/K. I do the same kind of thing myself. No reason to mount it permanent until you are sure it is going to do what you want it to.

By: GreeneMan510. on 22 Mar 10, 01:40:52
I have to agree with the folks mentioning to re-solder the capacitor or replace it with one similar. Fine tipped soldering iron and steady hands and your perm. fixed in about 2 minutes. But for now it works, although it may not look great. Looks don't matter much and credit is given for being inventive. Way to go, Rick!

Nice vid bro. You make vids on everything, if I made vids on stuff like this I would never stop filming. lol Anyway glad to see that you got it temporarily fixed, but I would attempt to re-solder a new capacitor on. It's only hard if you think it is. Cheers LazyMan :-) 5/5

By: Budskee420. on 21 Mar 10, 12:09:53
I never once was under the presumption that when I overclocked my E7200 Core2Duo, from 2.55ghz to 3.55 ghz that it would magically turn into a tri core, or quad core cpu. I was, in fact, under the presumption that when I overclock my e7200 2.55ghz cpu, that I would basically be turning a $120 dollar cpu into a $180-$190 dollar cpu (e8400). The only thing I was then missing was the extra l2 cache the e8400 has. Now tell me oc'ing isn't worth it. This dude is dumb, sorry but he is.

By: mikeccuk2006. on 21 Mar 10, 03:02:51
If an overclocked CPU lasted 4 years, thats enough of all it worth before you get a new set anyway. I had pentiumM 1.7 ghz OC to 2.48 ghz an runs for 4.5 years, vmodded. The only thing that broke is my LCD backlight, which went to warranty 2 years ago. I only had to test out stable clocks. Manufacture set those speed, voltage, cores are just more or less a safe preset for that proc. If you can overcome the heat then overclock it where at safe voltage (said on intel's site).
