I decided to create a new thread explain how it was done....

I was having trouble getting my cpu stable a 3.7 with 1.432v due to overheating with OCCT program... The temps would immediately jump to 58.0c - 59.50c. After a couple of minutes it would fail... My rig is set up in a second story room which tends to get hot. I decided to create a mod that would blow whatever cool air i had in my room directly to the fans heat sink.

I went to my local Home Depot and found this light weight coupling for $2.97...


Went home and gather a glue gun, blade and electrical tape. Place the coupling on top of the Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan. I put a couple of dots of glue where the coupling and the fan where making contact. Then wrap the extra holes with electrical tape (only tape i had available ) so it would push the air thru the coupling instead of the holes.



I looked inside my case and notice that the "b" shape of the coupling was going to help me clear the ram and 24pin socket.


I inserted the coupling with the as soon in the pic.


Here's a air inside shot
