I made a fan hole cover for my PC

submitted by 87Six to diy 4 points | 0 comments Cut it in a nice shape, drilled the holes. Painted the whole thing, including some foam I cut up for a better seal. (Ignore the giant mess lol…my family neglected this garage) I think it turned out nice. Should prevent some spill damage doo. Temps before and after in the same exact test conditions (same tune, benchmark, no background apps etc). I used Furmark and Cinebench 2024) GPU before: 62 GPU, 85 Hot, 76 Mem GPU after: 55 GPU, 78 Hot, 66 Mem (adjusted for +3C ambient) CPU before: 62C CPU after: 63C (66C recorded, but ambient was +3C) No benchmark score improvements but the GPU temp dropped a lot.
