DAMN IT. So now i think i want a different cooler. I may just throw that new duo orb on my 4850 and sell it. but IDK. I think 2 bright ass blue leds on my vid card will ruin the look i am going for. THANKS for all the help guys +rep and i will be showing off my mod as soon as i get it done (still have to plan out where i am placing leds etc...

ok so i went to the site to help me arrange my setup and look at what i need. I am ordering LINK and using 8-10 on my side panel (depending on how i can actually arrange them) and it tells me to set them up like this
+12V
+ -|>|- -|>|- -|>|- -|>|- -/\/\/\- + R = 150 ohms
-|>|- -|>|--|>|- -|>|- -/\/\/\- R = 150 ohms
So do i hook both the resistors together at the end of a set of 4-5?

im not understanding your diagram?!? are you asking like you want to put like 4or 5 leds in a series and use one resister? if so then thats what im doing when i made this yesterday.



i would also look in to 3mm because there smaller but what ever.

ok so now that i know what i want to do and how to do it. I just have a few more questions. Should i solder the wire onto the LED's and resistors? and what kind/guage of wire should i use?

ya i solder to the resisters and the leds and the gauge dosn't really matter to much. i just used on one of mine that stripping some ethernet cable that stuff is perfect size and is already twisted into pares. if i had to say tho ~26-24 gauge would be ok. its not like its using a lot of current.

yeah. I was wanting me to be able to use something i had. And do you just use molex connectors or what to power them? sorry for all the questions haha i just don't want to mess this one up and kill something

the gauge doesn't really matter since they are very low power users. and i just used a olex connected because i had them laying around. you can use anything that will allow then to connect to the 12v supply.

OK so my **** is almost here and i just need the LED mounts... anyone know a good place where i can get some 5mm LED mounts for CHEAP. I found a lot of 500 for $15 but i don't need 500 and will never need that many. any ideas/links?
