    LED projector headlight, can I remove the fan?

    Again, not a bulb, it is a soldered LED onto the projector. Once it is burned out, it is toast :). That is my scare. If I could go with a smaller fan I think it would work out also.

    LED projector headlight, can I remove the fan?

    True, is there some sort of testing I can do to figure out if the cooling is necessary? What do people do in the PC world in terms of ambient cooling when direct cooling is not possible?

    Alternator or capacitor?

    Alternator or second battery is usually the answer people don't want to hear. Capacitors for stereo systems are a gimmick.

    has anyone here teardown any car??

    There are places you can go that let you disassemble things and take them home with you for $ of course. When I have a friend that can't understand how something car related works, I take them to one of these "pull a part" junkyards and we go to town on tearing down the car. They have minimum...

    LED projector headlight, can I remove the fan?

    I have photos of testing at home. This isn't your run of the mill LED bulb swap into a 6th gen civic. This is a focused LED projector that has a well defined cutoff shield. High beam is focused with a large hotspot directly downroad in front of the vehicle. Look at the link above, it is...

    Hello members of Tom's Hardware. Not sure who has experience with LED modifications here, but I am modifying a Chinese LED projector to work on my motorcycle as the stock halogen reflectors are very weak. Well, the LED projector has a heat sink mounted fan that sits right in the area that...

    4K or 144hz?

    The R9 does great in crossfire on most games but absolutely hates Assassins Creed it seems -.-. See this video at Time = 2:07 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC-KHOKM7ck He mentions some kind of blur? That is the blur I have while playing assassins creed and running the UFO test myself. Is...

    http://www.testufo.com/#test=framerates&count=2&background=stars&pps=240 The current monitor I am on right now cannot clearly show the UFO after 240 Pixels per Second. It is moderate at best right?

    4K or 144hz?

    Hmm.. Thank you for letting me know 144 hz will even be a waste. Considering I have gamed on Big-Box PC monitors for most of my life I probably don't really know what I am looking for. When I look around for "what do I want in a gaming monitor" i find everyone is different.. well I really don't...
