Took an hour or so, to secure the CPU fans better. One of the metal brackets, is apparently useless.
Also, not using the heat sink’s brand fans.
Well, it might be more secure then it ever has been. Using one metal bracket, two zip ties, and a 3D printed plastic thing. I probably have another plastic thing, but putting it on the bottom, is too much work.
Well, the CPU might be cooler now. Got a bunch of dust out. Loud ass fan, not loud anymore. Now the front fans I might hear. Not sure why I needed a splitter, there is another fan spot on the motherboard.
Apparently PCs are better cause they can easily make you bleed. Doesn’t seem like much of a benefit to me.
How many spots are left on the new splitter? Might need to plug front fans into it too.
Not sure I need to change the paste now. Might do it anyways. At least the fans will be easier to install, now that the zip ties are through them again. Used zip ties in the past, but removed the zip ties, well it wasn’t very secure. Think fans work better if touching the heat sink.
Doesn’t look like I fried it with sweat either. Got some psychical pain though while doing it, my back, and knee.
Should have waited till tomorrow to open computer. The cat’s treat was delayed, so was taking my medicine.
Might need to get rid of the record player. Takes way too much room up on table. Easier to use the lamp, if the damn big ass record player wasn’t there.
USB is working again. Maybe it’ll finish copying the 4GB video this time.
Also, the fans aren’t completely aligns, but doesn’t appear to matter.
An easier solution, is to buy a cheap CPU cooler with two fans.
Skinnier zip ties would work better, had to use pliers to get them through the holes.
Zip ties work better then flimsy ass metal brackets.
