Default WTB: fancard

if you have to ask what it is... you probably dont have one. but back "in the day" they existed.

i dont care if the fans work or not, they will be replaced either way, so long as the card itself is funtional.

Why not just take an old network or sound card, cut the holes, and mount the fans on that?

because it has to be full length isa.

and do you have any idea how much work it would be to find an old card, de-solder all 10,000 ic's and then jury rig it to work...

nah i'd rather look for the real thing.

These fans will be cooling the 2 amd processors in my router project.

If you run out of luck finding this fancard, then you could probably just build one out of blank PCB board from Radioshack or someplace.

because it isnt worth the $40... I "used" to see them for like $10. but because demand is low the last guy bought the last 1000 of them and remarked them fro 10 to 40$

$40 is a ripoff.

close but no cigar. I actually have one but there are two issues that i have:

one, i need the fans at the end of a full lengh card. 2. it needs to derive its power from the isa slot if at all possible.

So i whipped an image on good old paind to show what i need.

I'm working on a dual amd motherboard and the processors (RED) have their own passive heatsink. given the nature of amd processors i want to cool them with a fan. A long fan card like i linked will blow almost perfectly over the heatsinks.



the card is the green thing.

Hmmm.... you could get a 92 or 120mm fan and mount it above both CPU's passive heatsinks.... One from Tt, 70-100CFM would work. Then all you would need would be a fabricated bracket.... easy stuff to get and easy to make... problem solved for less money.

Could use small self tapping screws, a small L bracket, and you would be set. Screw it to the case directly over the CPUs.

a 92 or 120mm fan would be way to tall. 80 is even pushing it. the passive heatsinks are like screws... its hard to explain without a picture and i will get one soon i promice but my 2nd option would be to mount a 40mm fan on it.

I was thinking in terms of case height and proximity of the cpu's to the edge of the case as per your drawing. Didn't realize that they would be too fat.

U can always make a pci card fan system. maybe mount a some plexi glass comming of a pci bracket then drill the holes out where u want them and install fans. Also u could make it to where it could fit in a pci socket for extra support, i don't think it would hurt it. It would look made w/ some etchings too.


Here is one made of wood but not as long as u want.

not so much too fat, but the design of the heatsinks is suck that all air must come from the sides. hence the fan card.

K.. well as mentioned above, in lieu of buying one, you could easily make one. Have plenty of power in the case?

Easy to make, eh? Measure the full length card and cut the plex to that size. Put a hanger on it, and cut some holes for the fans.... Gosh.. that sounds fun!! You could get a few Tt high speed fans and keep those things REALLY cool!

Glad i could shed some pimp brain.

I was thinking airflow would be better w/ the plexi if u drill holes through out the card where the fans wont be.

Also u can use it to cool ur video card if u got one.

Damn Lucky, you aren't a very postive thinking person, are you? With my suggestion, why would you have to de-solder anything? Just use a hole saw and cut straight through the whole damn thing. You can disable the slot in the BIOS. Spin the saw up and anything in the way be damned.
