Did this mod, and it worked. When we first fired it up, went to the e74 screen. I unplugged the fan and turned it on again and e74, unitl it over heated, different red part flashing. Unplugged it, and hit it with my hair dryer on cool till totaly cooled off. Turned it on and showed overheating screen. Restarted and everything works now.

@nszugyi yeah overheating is not the best for the unit but most of the time it will remove cold solder points in the cpu, gpu, nand, south bridge and more. thanks for watching...

[HansonHacks]

@UnderlinedDesigns you should use plastic not metal, the plastic supplied is very stiff an would remove just as much flex as metal would, and you often get metal washes with imperfections and bits of metal sticking out which WILL scratch the coper traces on the PCB were the screws and washes are placed. also the plastic allows much better shock absorption compared to the metal ones and shock absorption is important to keep the chips from getting cold joints or cold solder "balls" under the chips

[UnderlinedDesigns]

@SuperYamr1 what do mean? the kit comes with nylon washers, do mean dont use them>

[SuperYamr1]

dont use plastic washers has it still allows the m/b to flex,use spring washers under neath and 2 metal washer (5mm) on top..it works a treat when tightening up the bolts under neath just tighten them till the spring washer closes and thats it...job done...ps you dont need artic paste just ordinary pc cpu paste will do..

Excellent video. Good details as well.

Nice job.

@nerrage ok thanks...

@HansonHacks Just for example, at 1:18. When you unplug the cables from the disc drive, the noise from it makes it a little difficult to hear your voice. I am, however, pretty hard of hearing, so it could definitely be just me. I've just learned that only having your voice as the audio in these types of videos tends to be clearest to the viewer.

[HansonHacks]

@nerrage hi, thanks. could you please give me an example, like a time in the video that I do what you said. thanks for the tip.

[nerrage]

Thanks for this video. It's nice to see the fans modded for 12V output. If I may make a suggestion for future productions, though, try to detach the audio from the source video—it sometimes conflicts with hearing your voice clearly. Regardless, I appreciate this fix, and especially that it's a proper fix, not stupid towel tricks.
