PCI silent 12cm fan Add a graphic

Sometimes you do not need to change the cooler complete our graphics to make it silent. Sometimes you just remove the plastic cover from the sink and add a quiet fan of 80, 92 or even 120mm (scythe slip stream, nexus, noctua, etc) or strapped with rubber bands. In this way you can maintain temperatures similar to the original sink with cover, but drastically reducing noise, as the little fans of the graphs are usually very noisy.

Of course, like everything else, there's always a catch:

- The graphics take up more space by adding an extra fan (usually the fans are 25mm thick, so we will cover just over one additional slot .

- The way you hold the fan is "home." recommend securing the fan with rubber, and if possible try to get the rubber is between the fan and graphics, thus avoiding even the fan to transmit vibrations to the graphics, further enhancing the sound of PC (vibrations become sound, even if it is transmitted to the box or large metal items, the latter further amplify the vibration noise).

Here is an example of replacing the original fan:

mounted card, as would the factory:



I take the lid off the cooler:



Pongo 12cm fan scythe, far is pretty good. Perhaps a 92mm would fit better, but this is what I have on hand and it worked pretty well:



Viewed behind, in order to see the tires with which you are bound fan:



Once mounted in the box:



Another perspective:

The photos are made time (my current graphics are cooler aftermarket, a one hr-03 and another one accelero S1). The photos are from my previous cable box and quite disorganized, but I think it is enough to get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow it looks.
