CT-479 mounting tricks?

Awesome!! Cant wait for pics, this is much quicker solution in meantime for me. Just gotta get the armaflex now..

OK, some pics. I won't post them all to spare the 56K crowd.

I trimmed the "J" part of the bolts with a Dremel so they didn't protrude so much.
Ha ha, almost trimmed too much, like a bad haircut. Oh well, I had extra bolts:


Adding seal string:


More string and some Armaflex:


Here's the final, ready to go version with no condensation:


More pics:
Insulated
Wired
Plastic (did this to protect socket from another soldering accident).

BTW, next to the bolts at the hardware store was this plate, complete with product liability legalese (what, no "do not eat"?):



So I bought a couple just in case.

Just a proof of concept that I put togther in one minute (Swiftech MCW50 GPU Block):



The bolts and plate were too big to use 2 plates and 4 screws along the nvidia mounting plate, but with smaller J bolts and U bolt plates, it might be a more secure solution.

I posted this in the how to thread but thought it should go in here too.

Using 2 ct-479 coolers i cut off 2cm from the end of the cooler without the gap for the power lead. Then make the base into an L shape so it fits the base of the akasa evo 120. You can then use the ct-479 clips to mount it.




with a system temp of 22C it never went over 43C unbder load with a 730 @ 10x260 1.55V
