Hyper 212 Evo 140mm Fan Bracket

After several years from using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo on a FX-8320e I decided to make a 140mm bracket. This design still allows the fan to slide downwards to the motherboard or upwards. It's only compatible if you are not using the memory slot closest to the CPU. Unfortunately the fans I'm using are 27mm thick so I wasn't able to put enough static pressure onto the VRM heat sink as I had hoped to, but still allows more air to pass through underneath lower part beneath the aluminum fins. I never bother to get any temperature readings with the 120mm fan nor was I able to even measure the temperatures for VRM. I was able to push my stable over clock to 4.3 GHz from 4.2.

 

I uploaded the .stl file to MakerBot Thingiverse.

If you can create a duct to actually push all of the air through the fins, it would be much more effective. With this you have a lot of loss, and the center of the fan has very little airflow as its where the motor is. If you can do this, you can likely do that

I thought about doing something like to direct the air so it doesn't escape from the front, upper and lower part, but I wasn't quite sure how far down I could mount the fan. The 2 fans are also at slightly different height as well. After going through so many printing attempt to get things to fit exactly I decide to use some that was good enough. When it comes time to replacing the fan I might try to improve the design.
