Fan Mod on the IS 9500 HD
C/P CREDIT GOES TO eLfISiCo
My modification is similar to Kronic's, but is quit different as well.
Here are the materials I used.
-SilenX Ixtrema 40 (x2)
-Evercool 40 x 20mm
-32mm Aluminum Heatsink
-Thermal Tape
-Soldering Iron, and Solder
-Heatshrink tubing
-Krazy glue
-Small hack saw.
-Parallel Clamp.
1.Installing Heatsink on Mother board.
Clamp heatsink with parallel clamp. Cut about 1/8" of two sides of heatshrink, using a small hack saw to make it the right size. Now dab a very small amount of glue to the base of the Heatsink, and place it on the main processor chip of the mother board. (It says NEC Japan on it).
2. Splicing and installing fans.
Cut the connector of the Evercool fan and strip the two wires bare, so wire is exposed. The SilenX fans comes with small connectors which will be very handy,( if replacement fans are needed later in the future.) Lets hope thats not the case. They also came with some nifty rubber mounts, which I used on one of the fans. I left the small connectors on the fans wiring, and cut the other adaptors, that came with them. Now Connect all three fans to a parallel circuit. Now cut a piece of thermal tape that will fit on the base of one SilenX fan. Then I placed it near the front of the unit, facing the back, towards the power supply. I then put the rubber mounts on the other SilenX fan, and placed this one close to the power supply facing up. This will draw the hot air away from the power supply. Now with the Evercool fan. I placed this one close to the 8psk module. This will draw hot air away from module, and out of the unit.
3.Carefully peel apart the ribbon cable coming from the power supply board into the main board. Look closely at the power supply board where the ribbon connects, you will see small numbers.....7V, GND (ground), 24V, 12V, etc.....Cut and solder the red lead into the 12V cable and the black ground into one of the ground cables. Of course be sure to seal up your joints with heatshrink.
4.Carefully place the top case back on, ensuring you do not disturb the fans...Go ahead and plug it in and fire it up.
