Sorry guys, life interfered in a big way recently and I'm playing catch up still. The T7400 power supply fits in with no modifications at all, I just have less room between the power supply and the dvd drive internally. No problems with airflow though. I ended up using the wiring harness form...

**LATEST UPDATE** The drive bay PSU got on my nerves after a while. It has 40mm fans to cool it and they're noisy at just about any speed. So, Ebay mined and found a T7400 PSU with harness for $32. Fits perfectly, except it's about 25% longer. The harness itself is interchangeable with either...

Crap, I have to modify my pizza box fix recommendation. Well, really just make a clarification. My GPU is a Gigabyte Radeon R290 with the Windforce cooler on it. My mod works with this type card because of where it pushes the heat out from. Other cooling methods may push heat out the ends of...

Odd, I only have these problems when the graphics card goes over 90C. Check out your power usage in GPU-Z or HWINFO and see if you're getting the correct voltage range??? Noticed my card completely relies on PSU for power management and like to throw spikes of power usage. Your PSU might be...

I bought the Gigabyte R290 you're considering. Major improvement over what I had and really the only issue I have had is keeping it cool! I nicknamed it the space heater... And price was the deciding factor. My case has some really bad stock cooling for GPU's and I knew I was in for upgrading...

Did you laugh at the "order a pizza line?"

So I made 2. One describes the cooling problem, the other shows how the pizza box mod is made and why it works. Giving you both because I did modify my original box mod and made it more effective after really looking at the built in cooling design...

That's what I said. Kinda makes me regret all the time I spent drilling, but turning it all back on and it stays even cooler. Can't get over 70C now with overclocking. *does happy dance* Love it when a plan starts to come together

I just came up with an even simpler cooling solution for the T5400 - order a pizza! LOL! I cut the lid off of last night's dinner and while leaving the front flap on, cut it down to fit inside the case from the top of the graphics to the bottom of the case. Front flap is folded down and rests on...

Yeah, busted phone camera, lol! Not really much to see, it's stealthy and made to look like Dell did it.

Oh hell, just use the link, LOL

Apparently I have to post it online somewhere??? https://imageshack.com/i/f0i3QeeHj...

Notes from someone who's done this: Cover the side panel with a layer of wide masking tape first Spray glue your template to the masking tape Sharp drill bits. Work from the center out. Pre punch your center points, drill a pilot with 1/16 bit. Go SLOW with the drill. I would guess I stayed...

Never said it was easy, lol! I took my time and made a plan. I measured the space available inside the case and figured out that 80mm fans were the biggest I was going to fit. A little research over at frozencpu.com led me to an Enermax model that I thought would work and I liked the looks of...
