Big Typhoon Multiple Modifications-WOW-Prob would work on other HS!

I just saw this, and I did a search and did not see any posts, so please forgive me if this has been posted before:

 

This guy did multiple modifications of his Big Typhoon HSF, and his IHS, and it looked pretty impressive!

 

How To: Extensively Modify Your Thermaltake Big Typhoon

 

 

 

He has lots of good ideas here, and I have read some of them here, but he has them all in one spot, and did a good job of documenting his procedures:

 

-"LAP" your HSF contact area to ensure that the surface is flat and smooth

-"LAP" your IHS on your CPU Chip for the same reason

-Block fan gaps so that air is guaranteed to blow down on your HS.

-install a higher Air Flow Fan

-install additional "tiny" heat sinks

 

I thought I found the highest CFM 120mm fan (Silverstone 110 CFM), but he found a 220 CFM 120mm fan!

 

While I do not have a ThermalTake Big Typhoon, I think a lot of his ideas can be applied to any HSF.

Delta has 2 fans that push 220CFM. The are however, deafening.

That ducting is a good idea however... I have some POS Thermaltake fan on my SI-120 and a lot of the air is blown around the fins and not through them... seems the fin area is about 100mm square.

I certainly wouldn't want the "industrial shop-vac" sound in my computer; IMO H2O is a better option.

Definately.
