The computer update

As I mentioned earlier, I bought a new CPU fan. Great stuff. It looks great! A surprise was though that the fan was HUGE! Apparently I forgot to check the fan size, and it was a 120 mm fan. Fortunately it fitted just fine, and I can even remove my RAM if I want, without needing the remove my new, cool CPU fan. I used the IC Diamond thermal grease which was a bit hard to work with, but I got it on eventually and my CPU temperature after a whole day of activeness is on around 55C! I don’t know how much my CPU temperature was before (because I was stupid enough to not check that before the upgrade), but I think that it sounds somewhat low. And the sound-level of my computer has dropped drastically. So I would recommend this fan to anybody, with IC Diamond thermal grease.

I also bought wheels for my computer case, which I found out had to be made holes for so that it could be mounted. So I tried this today, but without the right tools, the whole went a little bad, and my back wheels are a little to one side. The good news is that I did not need to make two holes as the “grill” already made in the case under fitted as a screw hole, but thus meaning that I missed when drilling the first hole. I decided to wait for the right equipment, so my case is currently tilting forwards. At east I have breaks. This time I even have pictures! That’s now something you see always (especially from me). Enjoy the photographs.
