    MasterRaceFanBoy reacted to Trik'Stari in Valve: 'Vulkan is the Future, Not Much Reason to Create DX12 Backend'   
    I really REALLY hope that the Devs take this advice to heart, and support Vulkan in a big way. Mainly because I REALLY do not want to switch to windows 10.

    MasterRaceFanBoy reacted to Mnpctech in Fractal Design Define S ASUS Maximus VII Watercooled PC   
    This is the case mod I did for Fractal Design's event in Computex this week. The Define S chassis allows you to mount three 120mm or two 140mm cooling fans directly behind the bezel. This feature allows more interior space for larger radiators or push-pull fan configurations. The bezel's ventilated sides provide sufficient airflow for the factory default fan locations configurations. Opening the front of the bezel will improve airflow even more.
     
    Supplies & Tools Needed for this Case Mod:
     
    1. 3M Scotch 233+ Green Professional Masking Tape,
     

     
    2. 12" Measuring Square and Pen or Pencil
     
    3. Dremel or Rotary Tool with Reinforced Cutting Wheels, 
     

     
    4. Jigsaw with 18 TPI or higher Bi-Metal cutting blade
     
    5. Hand File
     
    6. Medium Grit Sandpaper or 3M Red Scotchbrite pads, 
     

     
    7. 24" x 12" Round Modder's Mesh Sheet,
     

     
    8. 3M ScotchWeld DP-190 Two Part Epoxy with Applicator Tip
     
    9. Wire Clip or Tin Snip (Optional)
     

    10. PETG Tube for PC Liquid Cooling. $.99 per 12" long tube, 1/2" OD x 3/8" ID PETG clear tube for Custom PC liquid cooling loops offers the same clear quality as standard Acrylic with an excellent impact strength and easy bend-ability.
     
    PETG Clear Tube works with these 1/2" hard line compression fittings that include,
    Alphacool HT 13mm OD hard tube
    Monsoon Free Center Hardline Fitting - 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD
    Monsoon Chain Gun Hardline Fitting - 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD
    Primochill Ghost Hardline Fitting - 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD
    Primochill Revolver Hardline Fitting - 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD
     

     

     

     
    The Define S bezel is factory molded from ABS plastic, which is very durable and resilient to cracking. Removing a majority of the face plate didn't effect overall rigidity.

     
    The backside of the bezel shows it's simplicity in design.
     

     
    The first step is to cover the bezel with 3M Scotch 233+ Masking tape. This allows you to write measurements onto the bezel and protects it from being scratched by the Jigsaw.
     

     
    Measure and mark off the portion of material you wish to remove. This cut-out will have 1" bordered frame of material remaining. Put on your Safety Glasses and use Rotary Tool with cutting wheel to make incision cuts in each corner. This will allow you to use a Jigsaw to make the long straight cuts efficiently.
     

     
    Use Jigsaw with 18 TPI or higher Bi-Metal cutting blade to make the long cuts as straight as possible.
     

     
    After finishing all of the cuts with the jigsaw, use a hand file and medium grit sand paper to clean and fix all of the edges.
     

     
    Inspecting progress before moving onto the next stage.
     

     

     
    These are two of the multiple mounting pegs on the backside of the bezel. We've chosen to remove the inner facing base support of each peg with a Wire cutter, so the mesh can be cut as rectangular piece. This step isn't required if you cut the Modder's Mesh sheet to fit around each mounting peg.
     

     
    Use medium sand paper to smooth over the surface after cutting the one side of each peg base.
     

     
    The Define S bezel's new intake grill will be cut from a 24" x 12" sheet, http://mnpctech.com/case-mods-gaming-pc-liquid-modding-custom-computer-mnpctech-overclock-cooling-fan-grills/modders-mesh-perforated-aluminum-steel-honeycomb-grill-intake-front-fan-slotted-diamond-round-hex
     
    This material is 22 gauge perforated plain steel. 5/32" holes 3/16" staggered centers. 33 holes per square inch.
     

     
    It's great for creating custom fan guards, grills, and cooling vents like this. It does need to be painted or clear coated otherwise it is a bare steel and will oxidize over time.
     

     
    The mesh grill will be attached with 3M Scotch Weld DP-190 two part epoxy with mixture applicator attachment.
     

     
    Place bezel on it's face. Apply the epoxy with it's applicator over the mesh overlapping the back of the bezel. It will ooze and sink into the individual holes of the mesh.
     

     
    Use c-clamps or spring loaded clamps to hold the mesh in position as it cures for 24 hours.
     

     
    Place some heavy objects on the mesh. This will prevent the mesh from bowing or warping as the DP-190 epoxy during it's 24 hour cure time.
     

     

     
    The bezel will be ready to handle 24 hours after the epoxied mesh has cured.

    MasterRaceFanBoy reacted to Pedex in H440 front panel mod (better airflow)   
    The point of buying the H440 is to get a quiet case, with the trade off being not-so-good airflow.
    But if you are determined, go for it. The two squares would look odd I'd imagine. 
    Go for the longer mesh, with equal spacing side-to-side and top-to-bottom.

    What CPU do you have right now?
     
    Try and balance your rig before buying any of these.
     
    Both are good, in everyday use plus gaming. But the i5 is a way better cpu than the A10 that's why is almost double the price.
     
    Now, If you pick the i5 you might.... you might bottleneck the CPU(i5) with that low end GPU.

    well when my keyboard started to break, I was using page up for my S key(S key broke), Home for my Caps lock(caps lock broke too). With headphone with dodgy cables in the past I've taped them at an angle to make them work. More recently I would really call it a mod but a compromise, I broke the digitiser for the bottom part of my phone screen so I downloaded an app called pi controls(actually a really good app). Also when building my sisters PC, we had to bend the bottom part of the 660ti: (The metal prongs are meant to be straight, but it's a super shitty case and it didn't fit in normally without grinding up against the mobo)
