Full Version: Finished my FIRST ever mod to a pc

I ordered Freezer 64 pro and Evercool coolers quite a few months back when they were on sale at SVC. Due to time and being hesitant to tear up my pc ( I've put pc's together just never taken them back apart aside from memory ), I finally got around to installing them both. It went great due to Happy's video and dropped my cpu's temp ( i know that these aren't correct but I've been watching them for a while and they are a good base to start from) was 38 dual prime and now 34-35 , the chipset was 44 and now 37. I had to drop a case fan because the Freezer was so big.. I will be relocating it but I don't expect to much more of a drop... We'll see.
Thanks,
Eric

Hey Eric,

Your post felt loney, so...

Glad to hear that mod's working for you.

Should this be in the Mods section?
Boz
Well .. I mounted that other case fan and got about a degree or so drop.... I've got pics but where is a good place to upload them to ... do some of you use image shack or something?
Thanks,
Eric

n1ce_hat
lookin good, but some magic needs to happen with those cables.. otherwise, looks snazzy!
Boz
Somehow I knew I'd get dogged about those cables... When I first got that case I thought man this big.... not anymore hehe
Thanks,
Eric

michaelzhao
Big Typhoon? Thats small potatoes compared to the Tuniq Tower!
ebdoradz

4 pin molex connectors on fans should be banned!

They are the thing that stands out as ugly in any case.

I have a fan controller that I need to mount and wire. I think im gonna get some zip-tie's with a sticky pad attached to them so hide some of those or at least keep em from hanging everywhere. I could get some longer IDE and Floppy cables to help route them elsewhere? Everything's just kinda crammed in there..hehe.
Thanks,
Eric

I removed my floppy cable, the drive is still screwed in though. If I ever find I need it i'll plug it in, but until then i'd rather have the additional airflow while I'm not using it.
Boz
Never thought of that ... good idea. I don't think I've actually ever used it ..... I put it in incase I had to flash the bios but never have... and raid drivers when I get the cash for that.

Even then you don't really need a floppy drive.

For bios flashing you can use Tmods bootable CD

And when installing the raid driver, it is often less problematic to 'slipstream' the driver into a custom windows XP CD, using nlite. I couldn't get windows xp to install at all using a floppy to install the raid drivers, slipstreaming worked fine though.
Boz
Thanks.. I'd forgotten about TMod's bootable cd... I've slipstreamed service pack 2 but never raid drivers.. never had the need so never researched it but I will when/if i get the cash for raid.
Thanks,
Eric
