Project: SilentNight

Yea gonna have to buy some allen keys as typically i don't have one of the right size :P. But yea never get angry with pc parts theres always a better way :D. But then reaper memory is a lot harder to get off then corsair it looks like it just slides off.
 
It's the thermal adhesive that's the awkward bit... On the Reaper, the whole one side of the heatsink is meant to just come off with 2 screws, I took the screws out and gave it a gentle twist trying to slide the now loose section off - didn't pull 'up' (@90 degrees to the module) for fear of breaking the ram - but it just tore it appart

That stuff sticks like nothing on earth! lol think I'm going to use thermal adhesive next time I want to put shelves up in my living room!!
 
if you really struggle to get the ram sticks on say that have an adhesive just buy some label remover from your local electronics store. Mind u it just depends on how strong the adhesive is so try that next time.
 
Thanks :) lot more work to be done yet but i'll let you know when i actually have some cash to spend :D.
 
Ok after a very long break have a small update :P. After finding a fault with my 1156 mb decided to change my system and do a little replacement. No real mod's yet just new build pics and sketchup of what im trying to do. Also my poor bigNG died so need to find a replacement (not getting another one of them software is terrible), probably will be the aquacomputer aquero 5 thing but anyway need more cash for that :P. Btw anyone got any good suggestions for removing the fan clips? as last one i did on an old fan broke very easily.



Along with my mb being faulty removing that staining from the system was impossible in the end and involved me replacing the res in the end (tried cleaning the exposed area just ended up scratching the thing to hell :P). So replaced the res along with new tubing and now using just de-ionised water and PHN nuke instead.

Also installed the backplate for the 460 also.



After one hell of a clean with enough distilled water and vinegar system is now clean (mind u still left a slight stain in the new res :P).



New zalman fan gonna be spraying that fan soon just need to figure out what kinda colour i want :P.



the whole midplate will be replaced with a larger L shaped plate instead with a slot cut for the rad.



Actually prefer the new res was gonna make my own but that will do just fine gonna rotate the 5.25 drive bay so ull see the res from the left side (still working on the panel designs).

Yea gonna beef up the inside metal so looking for someone who can make right angles as know it will be a nightmare otherwise :P
 
Yea lol suppose i didnt try that mind u tried everything else and still couldnt get it out, mind u might give it a go anyway see if its any better then vinegar and baking soda (but that was after trying everything else i could think of :P and it wasn't a good idea anyway clings to the res :( ). Ill let u know if it removes it as was so hard to remove any without some serious work. To be honest glad i've got a bigger res now looks a lot better in my large case :P.

Gonna rebraid my cables as not really happy with the braid so gonna give mdpc braid a go (need to order from them anyway so might as well :P).
 
Have a design just havent had a chance to get them cut yet trying to design them in sketchup atm. But yea my case hasn't had its panels on for a while :P.
