Stock cooling with Prime95 sent this badboy to a constant max of 79*C. I didn't have to work tonight at my other job, so I decided to do something about it. My case has one of those big 9" fans on the side of it, so I decided to utilize it.
I started by pulling the badboy out from underneath the Tv.
I removed the sidepanel and started by building a duct around the processor. Yes that is cardboard from a case of beer.
Now its time to duct up the large fan.
Started cutting the cardboard about every half inch to inch. Folding it in and taping it down, making sure there is enough room to clear my video card.
Test fitting sleeve for the processor.
After that got fitted in there, there was alot of air escaping from around the fan. To bad I was out of electrical tape. Thanks to christmas I have some scotch tape from wrapping presents ftw.
Final shot!
My girlfriend caught me posting these and called me a "Dorky Alchoholic". Please don't comment about the beer, i was broke.
