Fallout 2.1

[Cheron]

It has been a wile an I haven't done much in the past time. but I can show some things I did although not much fun I had the 8800gtx replaced with an other one since it had a very bad coil whine. just some pictures of that proceeder.

I also replaced 2 of the 800 rpm fans with 1600 rpm fans to better handle the added temp load of the 8800gtx

an further addition to the case is a automatic fan controller. which can also power down the pc if needed. it has two digital sensors one for the CPU and one on the gfx card. also I added 4 analogue sensors to the whole. have a look.

that's it for now. just letting you all know it isn't forgotten. like the first two fallout games. they are still better than fallout3.

@ The boy 4rm oz: That is correct its an Asus 8800GTX (it Coil whines even on the desktop but in Fallout3 or any 3d app. its really bad) I replaced it with an Asus 8800GTX which doesn't coil whine.

The first one didn't coil whine to bad in the beginning but it evolved to something really bad.

Any way some pictures of the original case I bought a wile back.

I have a day off tomorrow. ill be working on Fallout 2.1 for most of the day so I should make good progress tomorrow.

First up the side panels if I have extra time left ill be starting on the front.
While the current front panel reveals the DNA of the case. it wont be so for long. I will be squaring off the whole front to give it a more rugged look.

Yours Cheron.

Water block shorts you might be on to something ill have to look into that.(but i think it was my own fault like the first time.

Anyway I came in to tell you all, that I still plan on finishing it. even if it does not work(yet). Ill be dropping in a lighter GFX card since temps are way to high over 60 under load(CPU). This new GFX card will be air cooled like the first GFX card. also ill add a small fan(or two if I have room) to the NB those temps did soar to over 50 just before it died. I think that was my problem.

Any advice on what GFX card must be single slot since the radiator sits just below it

[Cheron]

true... but still those gfx and cpu temp have been like this since the 8800gtx so ill be dropping it and if you say the 9800gt or the 8800gt are better than the 8800GTX I think you haven't had a real chance to compare them. I have them all installed since I started this build.

But any how the pump works fine and NB temps are Air-cooled temps.

On the 9800gt part. I have one right here. sold the 8800GT unfortunately since it ran more stable but the 9800gt will do fine after I modified the heat sink of the NB to active cooling. (this will some how look real fallout I guess)

thanks for all your support.

Yours Cheron
