CoolerMaster V8 Mod

steelkane · Dec 16, 2008, 03:18 AM

Today I'll be modding a Cooler Master V8 with a higher CFM fan & white Leds instead of the Red. First I ordered some part from FrozenCPU
1/4W Metal Film Resistor 10-Pack - 470ohm (12 V DC)
5mm White LED
Black 1/8" Nylon Cable Sleeve
Scythe SY-1225SL12SH SlipStream 120mm Fan 1900RPM 110CFM 37dBA

Next I started to make a led power cable, by soldering the 470ohm Film Resistor on the red wire on a 3 pin connector.

The completed led power cable

Next I drill a hole in the top of the fan to allow the led to insert.

The led power cable attached & ziptied on the bottom.

I did both sides the same then put the new fan in & put the V8 cap back on.

That's it for today,, Next I will install it on my Stealth 2 Duo Rig, I Hope for it to cool better because of the higher CFM fan, the white leds will match my setup.

Dang, I can only hit the "Thank you" button once! That is a pretty sweet mod! really can't wait for it in the system!

steelkane · Dec 16, 2008, 03:26 AM

Thanks,, I've been wanting to do this mod ever since I seen the V8 cooler,, I will install it tomorrow.

You found a nice way to give the V8 that little extra bit, already a very sexy cooler, but nice job!

Haytch · Dec 16, 2008, 04:04 AM

Niiiice, very nice. What do you think of the cooler in general ?

It's a well made cooler, I was going to get the true, but I like the mounting setup better on the cooler master. both seem to cool about the same,, but I think the V8 will look better in my Rig

steelkane · Dec 16, 2008, 04:17 AM

It's been a while, but this is my Rig the V8 is going in

WarEagleAU · Dec 16, 2008, 05:28 AM

Very good job Steel. I love White LEDS its like the new blue. Love your case too. Thank you for taking the time to do this, looks really easy. I only wish more of the white LED showed through but it looks sick. Kind of like a hidden treasure.

Duffman · Dec 16, 2008, 05:30 AM

crazy box. what kind of cooler are you upgrading from?

The case is an old Apex Supercase, about 10 years old, here's an old review on it http://arstechnica.com/reviews/4q99/...x-atxft-1.html

Thanks,, I like the white leds better myself, Here's something I read about white leds.
White LEDs have similar ratings to blue ones, because they actually are blue ones - they have a phosphor layer over a blue LED die, which absorbs most of the blue and emits a range of other frequencies to give you a broad-spectrum white result.

Thanks, right now there's a Thermalright Ultima-90 in there,, it's been a good cooler but, I need better to keep the Rig running at 3.8GHZ with a e6850.

Thrackan · Dec 16, 2008, 11:54 AM

That rig is like... three times the size of my own main rig

trickson · Dec 17, 2008, 01:36 AM

What temps are you getting with that monster ?
OH and it sure looks great !

Binge · Dec 17, 2008, 01:46 AM

Nice mod on that V8. You'll probably hit temps like a TRUE now. Style + functionality = win

Thanks,, I was hoping to see better temps with it,, they did improve, Here's some pictures of it installed.

ste2425 · Dec 17, 2008, 01:52 PM

thats a really good mod i just have one question, when you soldered the led onto the three pin power cable for the fan how did the fan get powered up? and did you attach the other led onto the same power cable?

Thanks for viewing, One end is a two pin motherboard header, the other end is a three pin power connector, The 470ohm Film Resistor was soldered onto the red wire, The white Led was plugged into the two pin motherboard header, only two wire's were used on the power wire, red & black. when finished, one end has a Led & the other end has a three pin power connector that gets plugged into a fan controller or a three pin connector on the motherboard, The way I have it is, two Led power cables plug into the motherboard & the fan is plugged into the fan controller.

Gam'ster · Dec 17, 2008, 02:27 PM

The Mod Father does it again v8 looks pimp in that case

. But u know you may just inspire me to mod my old beige case instead of buying a new one And that some excellent work m8.

philbrown23 · Dec 17, 2008, 02:32 PM

very nice idea, and nice case my friend.

steelkane · Dec 17, 2008, 02:53 PM

Thanks Gam'ster & philbrown23, It turned out just as I hoped, Next I'm going to make a new side panel out of transparent Black Plexiglass, with the V8 sticking out threw the side of it.
