Hi all,

I found a very old 5.25' bay HDD Cooler by titian, some of u might have own it before. An Idea just came to me suddenly!

This is a Step By Step to convert this 5.25' Bay HDD cooler into a Ram Cooler! Huat Ar!

Items Needed (Black Spray Paint Is Optional)
1. Titian 5.25' Bay HDD Cooler *Actually any brand also can*
New At $10 SLS


2. Black Spray Paint
New At $3.80 also any shop ^^


How to DIY Your 1st Ram Cooler!
Step 1:
Cut half away from both sides of the HDD Cooler, its to shorten the height of the would be Ram Cooler


Step 2: (Optional)
Spray it Black ^^


Step 3:
Cut any High Density Foam to fit as holder of the Ram Cooler



Step 4:
Stick any brand of Double Sided Tape on 1 side of the Foam,
use the common thin ones will do.


Step 5:
Stick it to the Contact Points to the Ram


Step 6:
- Make sure u have 4 sticks of Rams on ur Mobo
- Estimate to make sure ur Ram Cooler is in the Center of ur Rams
- Press ur Foam on both sides of Ram to leave a Pressure Mark

Step 7:
Cut the Foam on Pressured Mark


Step 8: Complete!
Fix any 40mm Fan on the Cooler, max of 3 if if needed, Originally have 2 but i lost it. Used a Single 40mm fan as Demo:


Installation:
Fix ur Ram Cooler onto ur rams, make sure ur Rams sits into the cutting u did on the Foam


Ur own DIY Ram Cooler!
Ur Ram Cooler will not fall off even when mobo is upright as the Foam is holding on to the Rams
*Thats why i choose High Density Foam*

I just completed making it 10mins ago, i believe if u have the 2 original fans it should be quite good. Cossair Dominator Ram Cooler also about the same just 3 fans.

Will test next time when i have a spare rig =/

Originally it should have these 2 black fans

Oooo nice mod, but its that easy to find this kinda old sch HDD cooler anymore, or not many shops sell them these days. But if ya going down to buy 1, care to tell mua which shop u going? I might wanna try it myself as well, and can save me some trouble look for it from shop to shop.
