my x800 Air duct mod

Lead Head · May 3rd, 2006

Well its mnore like "Super Getto air cooling super mod"
The apendage over the GPU allows air to pool and the 80MM fan exhaust it, keepingr case temps down, the 7000RPM 50MM delta screamers under the CPU heatsink stop hot air from pooling there and the cardboard sheet directs air to the 120MM from 5 1/4in front bay exahust fan and PSU exahust. Keeps my sys nice n' cool n' getto

The pics should be enough

Wow, that's defintately very ghetto, but it looks like it would work pretty nicely; good idea :thup:
You have any before and after temperature measurements for us?

Uh...Before Cardboard sheet over top and delta screamers added, massive amount of heat pooling, CPU went over 50*C, after cardboard sheet mod and delta screamers added, almost no heat pooling CPU load is around 43-45*C averga. During gaming before GPU apendage added CPU went up to 50*C+ and heatpooling, after GPU cooling mod, lower GPU temps+CPU temps stay at normal 45*C. It works surprisingly good considering its a massive eye sore

Nice! I love everything except the little delta screamers, I hate noise pollution (and love silence).
