What $30, a Hyper N520, some boredom and aggravation netted me.

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
So, I had a pretty rough day at work. When I came home, I wanted to tinker a bit but didn't really have anything to work on, until I saw the three aftermarket coolers that I had laying around. I didn't want to put my GTS 450 up to the task as it's the only card I have for folding. I decided to use my 4850 that I bought off ebay for $30. After an hour, I came up with this:

b22fb08f_IMG_20120626_032914.jpeg

Yes, that's a CM Hyper N520. Now, I wasn't too confident in my craftsmanship, hell, I wasn't even sure I mounted it properly. I propped it up to release the pressure on the PCI-E slot, and fired it up. Lo and behold:

Keep in mind, idle temps with the stock cooler were 50 degrees. This thing idles at the same temp as my GTS 450 did with it's stock cooler. RESULT! Now, to make sure I didn't screw this thing up and run Furmark... which with the stock cooler saw temps of upwards 80 degrees!

S12H ftw. Good work!

I'm going to work on overclocking and possibly volt modding when I'm done with my next bigadv. Also, there's no pressure on the video card because the heatsink is propped up. More pictures will follow. The mount came out pretty sleek, now it's just a matter of getting everything to fit. The PSU doesn't fit where it's supposed to as you can see smile.gif
