Updates time. The main part of the build is done atm (carbon structure) so that means I get to work on the little ins and outs.
The main problem I encounter was the fact that the clearance between the PSU and top of the case is less than a couple of mm's. that creates a problem that could be potentially fatal for any PSU located in the space. So after a couple of months I created a solution which I will complete over the next couple of days. But here is the start of it.
First thing I did was purchase a nice little RM850 from a forum user
So inorder to created enough airflow for the PSU I built a system which will allow the case to "breathe" so I quickly did some 3D sketches and sent them to the 3D Printer, I still need to finish a couple of details but here is what the finished product will look like when its done.
To allow the vents to open I am utilising a servo , Servo Tester unit and the key to all of this.. a Temperature control relay (which will close the relay once the set temperature has been reached.
The first order of business is to create a thermal control relay, and seeing as the relay is only available as a kit I hastily set to do some soldering
Once finished I did some quick sketching and drew a casing for it but here is the end result:
Then next big step is to start on the cables. The first one to be done is the 24pin.
After a #### long time I decided the best way to do this was to cut off the old end and just connect a new header.
Working at a factory you find a lot of unique things, one of them was a convent cover for the 24pin. But the only problem was to connect the SS hosing to the plastic, so outcome the 3D Printer and some drawing. Here is the end result!
I apologise for the lack of updates for those who are following my little life build but it takes a little bit of time to create solutions to my problems
ps.The sheer complexity of image sharing is part of the problem
