      well if you want a backplane, i like scythe for that too. or xigmatek, but those are probably too expensive.

        why not mount the fan on the back of the case and fit tubing between the fan & heatsink?

        that way your sucking cold air in, or blowing the hot air out.
        and you dont need to worry about how the fan fits on the sink.

          you mean the old dell method. thats how they cool their units- a rear fan and a duct.

              also the rackmount server method, ratdude. i see no problem with that. as long as the airflow is all calculated.

              lol dell, "dumbasses enjoying laborious lobotomies" or whatever you want.

                Well, so far so good



                My CPU is now sitting at 40 degrees with the case at 35.

                The fan did touch the first RAM chip, but all I had to do was slide it up a bit.

                I'm not sure I like the scythe fan that I put in the case though, because it has an annoying hum.

                  Maxxarcade,

                  Was this version you got like this? This artic version I was talking about does have 3 lug per side clip design. I'm surprised you found one with one lug version. How come?

                    When I mentioned a single lug per side, I was talking about the retention bracket on my motherboard.

                      PS: That new temps is what you should see and less noise. Also I do not buy any "generic" fans. The scythe is one of these as their blade design is not unique and researched properly. The Noctua fans are ones you should look for in fan blade design especially.

                      http://www.acousticpc.com/noctua_fans.html

                      Sunon fan buzz and rattle due to their harsher motor impulses (by design when they converted to their patented wafer style motor) coupled with loose bearing assembly. Which I dropped long ago for this reasons. Thermaltake, coolermaster etc were lottery on whatever to get good fan or junky fans. So I avoided.

                      I prefer: NMB, Sankyo, Delta and Nidec, all are ball bearing and tight, no rattles and they run smoothly and prandon the chiche silky smooth. Arctic heatsinks used decent fan which I was surprised so left it on and recommended this to you.

                      Ah, you can get another retention bracket from looking around on the market/ebay that has 3 lugs instead of one. Also there are heatsinks with bolt on design instead of using the bracket itself.

                      Cheers, Wizard

                        OLD Socket 478 custom bracket + NEW generic cooler
                        by BleedCap
                        I already posted this on vogons.
                        Its a 3d printed custom bracket for socket 478.
                        I used this AM4 bracket as a base design.
                        Its to be use with cheap generic clip based cpu cooler.

                        Reason for doing this is:
                        - Its hard to get/find a good copper base cooler. Even if you find one, the price is ....
                        - New generic cooler is cheaper and can use bigger fan (less noise)

                        I tested the bracket with cheap chinese horizontal cooler + fan taken from CM hyper 212 evo.
                        The processor that I was using is P4 2.4Ghz prescott....

                        Seeking Advice: Repairing Dell U3425WE Monitor with Faulty USB-C/Thunderbolt Ports
                        by Borse2008
                        Hi everyone,

                        Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

                        I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
                        • The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.
                        • There’s

                        Mosfet Advice
                        by Green Probe
                        Hi, Im looking to replace some EMP21N03 mosfets on an Alienware motherboard, but I'm having trouble finding a legit supplier. The ones that are available from China have pictures with the engraved logo looking very scratchy and sketchy. Nobody in the US sells them. I'm trying to find a compatible mosfet, but I'm not well versed enough to be confident im making the right choice. Does anyone have a suggestion or advice that could help me find the right mosfet? Thanks!

                        Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti - Boardview / Advice request please
                        by user234
                        Hi all,

                        Recently installed a new motherboard but during the process I seemed to have damaged my Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti card.

                        My motherboard ROG STRIX B550-A is detecting an issue with the VGA (light ON)

                        I have attached 2 photo's of my GPU board, one above and the other is what I believe to be the 5V - as you can see, this has visual damage so looks suspicious to me.

                        If I replace this part what are the odds this will resolve the issue? - any additional information on where to source the parts would be much apricated too!

                        This is...

                        Wine cooler flickers at startup and doesn't cool enough
                        by edugimeno
                        Hi there!
                        I have an old wine bottle cooler, it's a basic peltier cell system with a power supply built in with the controller board, with a simple display at the front door and 2 push buttons to select the desired temperatura.
                        Symptoms are it doesn't barely cool down, and makes a chirping noise at the board.
                        Both fans on each side of the peltier are (now, after much cleaning) running smooth and silent
                        When you turn it on, the front 7-segment display flickers for a variable time, usually like 1 minute but sometimes nothing or 3 minutes... Then turn on solid (but still some...
