    Today I'll be modding a Cooler Master V8 with a higher CFM fan & white Leds instead of the Red. First I ordered some part from FrozenCPU
    1/4W Metal Film Resistor 10-Pack - 470ohm (12 V DC)
    5mm White LED
    Black 1/8" Nylon Cable Sleeve
    Scythe SY-1225SL12SH SlipStream 120mm Fan 1900RPM 110CFM 37dBA

    Next I started to make a led power cable, by soldering the 470ohm Film Resistor on the red wire on a 3 pin connector.

    Next I drill a hole in the top of the fan to allow the led to insert.

    The led power cable attached & ziptied on the bottom.

    I did both sides the same then put the new fan in & put the V8 cap back on.

    That's it for today,, Next I will install it on my Stealth 2 Duo Rig, I Hope for it to cool better because of the higher CFM fan, the white leds will match my setup.

    I was hoping to see better temps with it,, they did improve, Here's some pictures of it installed.
