Lighted CPU Cooler

[Craig831]

I built a gaming machine in March (thank you tax return...) and have added some lighted fans internally. It's an aluminum case, no exterior color, and I did all the lighting in blue light.

I have one area, in the middle of the mobo, though, that is not lit. It's right over the CPU since I still have the stock fan on there.

I would like to get something in blue light that would cool better than the stock fan. Any suggestions?

It's a P4/2.8Ghz.

i just added a 60mm to 80mm fan adapter to mine not only did it drop the CPU temps 7 degrees F but it gives a nce glow you can see it at www.sexychris.net/casemods scroll to the bottom and you can see it in the window pic

Thanks for the reply. The case looks great!

I'll think about the 80mm conversion.

i bought the TT volcano 9 cool mod, it is great for cooling and looks nice too (pic attached). you hook up the leds to the mobo instead of you case leds. i have it so that the blues are always on, and the reds flash with HD activity. also, it is keeping my 1800+ about 44C under full load with no thermal grease or pad. very good investment!

btw, the other blue lights you see in that pic ar "mini neon spot lights" made for cars. i bought them at spencers and rewired them to molex. very bright
i also have 2 sound activated blue neon lights (no seen in pic).

Very nice. I'll check that out too. I hope to post a picture of the updated case in the next couple weeks.

Thanks!

and for the record, it is an 80mm smart fan. and i attached a pic with my sound activated neons lit up
