My dangly fan mod

[squiffy]

Just temporary, until I can get the 12cm fan to fit on the stacker 810 side panel. Dropped temps quite a bit. X1900 was 45 idle, now 38. Motheboard was 26 now 22, CPU was 36 now 30.

Picture was taken with the system on!

ta that akasa.co.uk looks perfect. Taken the side grille off, the 4 mount holes do not align up with the strips of metal, so I can't simply drill 4 new mounting holes for the 12cm fan. But that Akasa hood solves the problem without any work, although the fan will slightly higher so not quite as good cooling

I guess the same thing can be done to CPU fan also? fit a 6cm? hood to 12cm?
