Air Cooled Gallery

[HaGGaRd]

Hello guys, I am Elian fron Rosario, Argentina i'm new at the forum so i want to share with you my air cooled setup.
The case is an old school Thermaltake WinGo




I hope you like it, its nothing compared to the terrible rigs I've seen here, but i love it
PD> I've recently changed my VGA for an MSI 8800GT 512 OC edition that performs really well !!

Elien, really love what youve done with these computers!
good on you for using coils on your cables, now im not the only one!
where did you get your stickers for your hard drives, they are so nice

Elian_BHZ @ What fan controler is that with the green leds? Custom made?

Hello fella, thanks yeap that cable mess should be flexed or better hidden. Now im going to hide them and i show you how does it looks like !! I´ve got some coil that that shoud match well
The stickers for my hard disk drive were home made by my and my HP 1200 printer and autoadhesive paper ... My computer us full of that sticker, they really look great!

Elian_BHZ @ What fan controler is that with the green leds? Custom made?

Hello yeap that fan controler is home made, its very simple on/off switch ...
The back i used RCA´s to connect fans thas fantastic because you can plugg in or out your fans and cold cathodes very easily.
I used to have one with a circuit that allowed me to switch between 7v/0v (off)/ and 12v. With that once i could control my fan speed, but i realize that the fans i used were always at 12v when i was playin some game or running some benchmarks and 0v (off) when i was running de OS intertet, etc ...
So i replace it for this set up

I make my controler folowing this guide but it is in spanish http://www.fullcustom.es/ele_esq_01.html

The scheme im using right now is this one:



And the one with de 7v/0v/12v is this one:



Bye guys i hope it be useful to you (y)

[Tommy_Hewitt]

hewitt can i hire you full time for photography LOL

Surely, but I'm expensive

[Ar3s]

guys is it normal if my 2nd crossfire card is 6 degs hotter than the first card ?

[Vatos_locos]

TheMiracle why the SLi Bridge is missing ?
Ar3s i think yes if you mean the card on the first pci-e

[HaGGaRd]

Because of the airflow is better one of the cards, and the other is obstructed a bit?

[Origin_Unknown]

if you two above read a few posts above it would say it was on the floor

@Tommy_Hewitt - Amazing pictures! What card is that?

[Elian_BHZ]

Tommy, your pics Exxa Rock! , now check out my Rig!

Hey that 120mm exhaust fan is a Powercooler? WTF I thought that trademark only exist here in south america!! jaja
My PowerSupply Unit is a Powercooler it has 550 real watt !!
How does that fan performs ?

i think you're right, should be the case or my hr-03gt isn't screwed on correctly...

guys, can the TRUE be mounted vertically on an AM2 board? i've noticed Thermalright has the S-clip, does it work on the TRUE?

Allowing heatsink to rotate 90 degrees on the CPU socket.(For HR-01, Ultra-90, Ultra-120, SI-97A, and SI-128)

[Ar3s]

the TRUE's additional heatpipes may block it.

Yesterday i changed the fan on my psu and mounted my HR-03 on my gfx card.Temperatures dropped...noise level dropped...i am happy

[HaGGaRd]

Intake and exhaust fan on the top? :O

Hey alexey, is it quite easy to change the fan in a powersupply?

Im FROM Argentina, maybe thats WHY... JAhJahjhaHah

And for your Q, it performs flawlessly, and no noise at all!

Saludos!

Hey alexey, is it quite easy to change the fan in a powersupply?

Yes actualy it's very easy...all i had to do was cut the wire of the original psu fan and solder the whires from the other fan so that i could use the coupling from the psu pcb

the TRUE's additional heatpipes may block it.

Thanks Ar3s!

another question, if the TRUE would be mounted horizontally, can an OCZ XTC RAM Cooler still fit?
