Dimensions of the black ice extreme

joeyd · 10-12-2003, 08:44 PM

Need the dimensions so I can easily make a few shrouds for them. Or even if someone has stencils for print out on a printer it would help. Trying to improve performance on it .

For my BIX shroud, I just got some 2" long screws that would screw through fan and into BI. I screwed them in through fan, measured the height of the screws, and then cut a long strip of sheet metal that wide. Bend this strip around the outside of the screws and you've got yourself a shroud. Put a metal rivet or a dab of superglue where the pieces overlap to hold it together and tighten the screws down a bit to tighten the shroud up.

thanks , I'm a smuck when it comes to this , still trying to figure out how to best mod my case to fit it in .

Why dont you wait for your bix, then make a shroud for it? It shouldn't take over a day after the glue and paint have dried. Look in the articles section for a how/to composite shroud. Easy easy easy to do. I did notice though.. it already had metal wrappings around it that are a decent shroud.

I'll take a pic and put some measurements on it before bed joeyd. I have a BI X in the closet somewhere...

joeyd · 10-12-2003, 10:49 PM

haha is it that crappy ? I got mine for free so i dunno . My heater core sprung a leak last week.

pHaestus · 10-12-2003, 11:38 PM

Nah not a bad rad. I just have a lot of heatercores around here and my watercooled boxes aren't even in cases right now

Anyway let me go get it and find a ruler.

In english units because that's the only ruler I could find. I really need to switch house over to metric...

What does the 2" measure signify?
The diagnal of the tank?

pHaestus · 10-13-2003, 10:33 AM

The thickness of the radiator

superart · 10-13-2003, 02:45 PM
