    http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/hardw...mod-guide.html


    right now i have added two more smaller fans corner tightened with plastic cable ties to be placed right on top of the ram sinks, forget the corsair ram fans, horrible quality and it will steal some of the air going into the 120 extreme cooler for the cpu.

    btw it was not on a nb hole, but on the mainboard middle hole, which is located perfectly for this double mini mod.




    greeets

    so after a failed vista rc1 build 6000 upgrade tryout(the nvidia vga driver gets completely screwed up, just like in aero theme the windows become transparent, and i mean transparent really, u cant access them anymore lolol) and rolling back, im posting again to wrap it up here,


    here´s two pics... i used in fact one extender bolt for the nb and ram fans, both in the same. if your config is vertical top down u can just use cable ties. if its BTX mount like mine, even better, gravity will help too lolol



    close up





    so i managed to have no cables whatsoever running on top.

    and yes, to all people complaining on bios 0903 my personal opinion is that regardless what your results are, over 400/450 fsb is in fact unstable. I guess asus wont present us with a new bios, not in christmas and probably no anymore.

    I think i´ve reached the top regarding air cooling. More than 8 fans on a mobo is preety nooby....

    next dream colling system after christmas: aquacomputer aquaduct 360.....


    note: anybody successfully installed vista ultimate RC1 build 6000 ?? what about the clock hack, still workin..?

    Cool, same TJ-06 I use for one of mine. Only thing to note is that the NB wll get upto 5C hotter and bout +3 on SB in that possition. I had to remove the NB/SB pipes and use aftermakeet on one and turn on side (like HTPC style) for the other to get good temps with stock coolers on mobo. I also added a clear plastic devider to keep the origional tunneled design since we cant fit the stock SilverStone model anymore. I just trimmed and fitted it from the front fan along the top edge of the VGA (using the majority of the card as the damm) to guide air toward the rear fan. The damm came completely to top of window and folowed length of cast toward back and proved to be functional, especially on model with ThermalRight NB/SB coolers and in upright BTX configuration.

    Nice case.

    Ok... thks nuckin... lolol btx format case can get your temp a bit higher 1-2ºc overall, but spacewise i find it much better. all components are at hand so u wont cut your fingers... i´m sure also the nb/sb/mosfet heat tubes are opposite than they should probably, but for the average low quality of fusion block compared with others is irrelevant. anyway my avg temps are on the low side, cpu idle-35 load 62/63, nb idle-37 load-45, and sb dont even care, got a fan blowing almost straight from outside. will still give a go on watering the NB fusion when i descend from air and plunge into water lolol

    btw vista really improves performance with readyboost activated, pen drive formated to ntfs (specially if you can have a voyager gt at least 4GB). for all the rest.... cant find decents arguments for it (dont really care on dx10, still a long way to go)
