I had a bit of a problem with my Corsair HX520W psu. The 8-pin cable was a bit short for some management i was doing so i bought a 20/24pin separate power cable:

cut bits from the sides and made the 8-pin cable a bit longer:

Real DIY mod...

could you pm me with a wire diagram for that? like where each wire gets hooked to on each side of the connector because I'm going to do the same thing cuz there is way to much tension on my 8 pin cable.

ALSO NOTE THE GRAPHICS CARD AT 45 DEGREE ANGLE!! LOL

**Jim Morbid** · 07-22-2008, 12:53 AM

Was a about to say - Things to worry about (in order of importance):
1) Graphics card at 45 degrees
2) Cable ties on DICE setup
3) Mad use of extension cables

**[XC] Oj101** · 07-22-2008, 01:01 AM

1) It's the camera angle, the card's at about a 15 to 20 degree angle
2) It's LN2

That's where I managed 3916MHz on my FX55
3) It was an overclocking event, six PCs running off of one plug

Congratz on that OC!

Here is my Ninja duct mod made from an old recipe book holder so the vent and psu fans draw air through and out, also, with a port down on to my NB from my side fan. Worked like a charm

That actually looks awesome, and even pretty professional. Might not be a ghetto mod, but it is pretty damn sweet. Maybe I'll have to get that heatsink and make something similar for my HTPC.

couldn't you have just got two more 120 fans to mount on the uncovered side of the ninja. Then it would be push pull. For the fan above the nb you can brake the bottom of it slightly so the airflow hits the nb cooler. I have the same mobo as you, i'll post a pic of my ghetto mod later tonight.

**sandwichamwin** · 08-01-2008, 03:39 AM

I was all for the ghetto a few years ago. Here's some pics of my modded 9500. Well, that was before i finished the vmods and added a TEC

**BababooeyHTJ** · 08-02-2008, 02:12 PM

This is the best thread ever. I love the cardboard box pc.

**fragmasterMax** · 08-05-2008, 10:56 PM

So heres my ghetto mod. Been meaning to post a pic of it here, and since i had to remove it today to install my scythe orochi, what better time than now.

**hokiealumnus** · 08-06-2008, 05:22 PM

This thread is so much fun. My GTX needed some better cooling since we can Fold with them now, so I took the trusty jig saw and went to town on my old steel beast. The pic isn't great b/c my desk was in the way but it's just for amusement anyway.

Notice the duct tape on the metal toward the bottom of the hole? Yea, that's where my jigsaw blade broke where the steel doubles over and I (still) don't have a replacement, so the duct tape remains. The other giant hole is from the aptly named "Cool Whip Mod". Am I going to repaint the side panel? Never! Ghetto-rific.

EDIT - To make up for how horribly ghetto it is, I have to redeem myself by saying the inside doesn't look nearly as bad as the outside!

**Blackstare** · 08-08-2008, 07:32 AM

This is a friend's pc who's vga fan died, so he came up with the most ubber ghetto mod i've ever seen!

x 1000

**VoGonPT** · 08-08-2008, 07:53 AM

OMFG!!!!!!!111111

Uber Donkey holding a Fan almost beats the Uber Cardboard case.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!

**The0men** · 08-08-2008, 04:42 PM

Yer I love the cardboard box PC, thats gold, I also love the mid-air PC lol.

Got some mates from way out bush, I need to take photos of their stuff,
what they think is good and neat, and what they use for 24/7, is about as ghetto as it comes,
they just dont see it like that lol.

Like when he broke his AMD cpu core by holding down a waterblock with cylinder head studs lol.

**alexio** · 08-08-2008, 05:43 PM

The stock PSU just didn't cut it

These pics are from 2004 I think.
