    Accelero S1 rev. 2 and installing Noiseblocker fan

    I got a old PNY 6800GT (AGP) graphic card, witch I was years ago cooled with watercooling and not I would like to use it, so I have to create some cooling for it. And it should be quiet one, so - it must be huge and allow me to add a 120mm fan on it - a Noiseblocker at best. I choosen an Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 rev. 2, because:

    Accelero S1 is probably not even compatibly with my GFX card - http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/di...s1.html?c=2264
    (and it is also hard to get)

    Accelero S1 rev. 2 is compatible - http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/di...-2.html?c=2264
    (because is support zhe 48,3 and 53,4mm distance of four holes)

    On the contrary, the Accelero S2 is strip down version - http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/di....html#techdata
    (only two heatpipes and not four and what is worser, it does support almost all cards, only not these with the 53,4mm holes distance...)

    Also no solution from Arctic Coolingu concerning active fan is good, IMHO. Their "turbo mode" with God to know how two noise small fans - phew! Not for me.
    http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/vg...le.html?c=2182

    So I give it a little bit of thought and come up with own solution:



    Basic of this idea is, that I can add the fan using the rubber "screws." On the bottom side it is dead simply - into the deattachable plastic cover i just drill 5mm from it corner and 105mm from them two holes (that is the holes distance for a 120mm Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentFan XL1 fan). These are of diamater 4mm. While it is true, that the fan have a 4,5mm holes, then the plastic cover is much more slim and therefore it is only good that the hole is smaller a bit - after all, this is a rubber and it squeeze thru easily





    On the top side the solution is more challenging. However it is enought to create a two little 20x8mm holders with 3 a 4mm holes, bend the holder into 5x3mm L profile and connect it thru the heatsink by two M3x25mm screws withz bigger bearing and that it is. The fan hold there pretty well - and it is silent rubber connection - no vibrations!





    The good advantage of Noiseblocker is not only that the fans are quite quiet, but they also come up already with these rubber "screws" (4ks per piece, of course, not the 8 as visible on the pic):



    The whole complet is a bit higher and bellow are the heatsinks on the rams that come with Accelero. They are great!



    The overal look at the height clearly show, that the nearby PCI slots are busted Well, not a big deal. They should be clear also because unrestricted airflow is necessary for good cooling of this graphic card, that can become quite hot...




    So I can only hope that I give some ideas to others, how to realize some DIY cooling and we see more interesting projects like that

    I've done that kind of thing before, although I usually do it with zip ties.
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

      Re: Accelero S1 rev. 2 and installing Noiseblocker fan

      Yep, that is the possibility too. However I did wanted it to look professional
      Resulting temps are IMHO good:



      Only bad thing (tm) is, that the supplied VRM heatsinks with Accelero S1 rev. 2 did not stick on the weird active parts on the GPU VRM... and the cooler that it there used do more harm that good, becasue around 70°C is IMHO way too much in action:

        Samsung R530 Bremen motherboard cooling
        by Ace Perception
        Hi,
        I'm wondering if anybody out there has much knowledge of Samsung Bremen motherboards.
        I've got a Samsung R530 which is about 10 years old, over the last 12 months it developed a worsening problem where when asked to do much work it would shut itself down. I had a good idea this was due to overheating which was confirmed by a temperature monitor programme which showed little balls of fire next to the various internal temperature readings. I could also prevent it shutting down if I placed a huge fan running at full speed in front of its air intake!
        So I went in pursuit of...

        Problem

        This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

        Liquid cooling?
        by Hondaman
        I hope my computer does not randomly reboot while typing this. My main system is the AsRock 970A-G/3.1 motherboard with the AMD 8150 chip. I am experiencing FREQUENT and RANDOM reboots once the system is used for a couple of hours (sometimes it reboots before I even get to the Win7/Linux Mint dual-boot screen). The problem MIGHT be the DRAM controller chip (I recently upgraded to the maximum 64 GB RAM). It also might be the VRM chips. I am using a typical aftermarket CPU cooler, which does NOT blow air DOWN onto the VRM heat sink.

        (After previous generation hardware [Gigabyte] didn't...

        HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
        by momaka
        Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
