Vendent Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. I would like to put on a second fan onto the radiator, but there is a copper thing in the way. Is there a modified fan out there for sale or should I just take this whole copper thing out? I have a MSI K9n2 SLI Platinum http://localstore.com.ar/catalog/images/K9N2-SLI-Platinum.jpg I can bend it to the right some, but it still hits the second fan. Any suggestions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 you dont want to touch that, its cooling your mosfets. better to cut a hole on top of the case and mount it there. or at the very least if you need like a 1/8" you could bend the corners of the fins on a 45 degree angle to make just a bit more room but i wouldnt put too much pressure on it. best bet is really cut a blow-hole.

campbelln97 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 i wouldn't recommend touching it what ur doing if ur calling it a "copper thing" its a heat pipe connecting the southbridge, northbridge and mosfet heatsinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Please post a picture of the interference. The fan housing may be the cheapest and easiest part to modify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a fan extender piece that would create a better seal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 you could also get one of these http://www.liquidninjas.com/photopost/watermark.php?file=2854 and just make sure the 92mm fan has the same or higher CFM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendent Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6507/fss-24/120mm_Black_Rubber_Fan_Silencer.html What do you think of this? If I place it out the outside of the back, it should be wide enough to displace the indentations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
