User Guides External hard disk cooler DIY version 1

My "My passport" is getting hot in this rainless season of 42 degrees. So thought of buying a cooler for it. Accordingly searched in Google but the result cannot satisfy me. So ,finally made cooler all by myself.

Requirements:

• THE BOX

• ANY 120MM FAN WITH GOOD CFM. I choose COOLERMASTER SICKLE FLOW BLUED LED WITH 90 CFM.

• ERASER

• FEVIQUICK

• FAN MESH

• BINDING WIRE

• PENCIL

THE PROCEDURE


Place the extrnal HDD on top of the box and mark with a pencil. Cut 1/2 inch inner the marked line.




[On the opposite side place the 120 mm fan and do the same .






Now make a side hole for the HDD CABLE.





Either tie or paste the mesh on the fan side cutting.










Now paste 4 erasers on four corners of the fan







Paste two erasers or three on each corner of the box on the fan side















place the fan inside the box that will draw the cool air









I passed the cable through the grommet and attached it to my Fan controller(NZXT PHANTOM)










FINALLY










PREVIOUSLY IT WAS 40 IDLE AND LOAD 45 AT EVENING TIME. NOW IT IS 36 AT IDLE AND 41 AT LOAD.





Costing

Box = 0

16 erasers = 48

Fan( if u need to buy)= 500

feviquick = 20

Fanmesh = no idea(U CAN USE MOSQUITO NET INSTEAD)



IN THE NEXT VERSION I WILL TRY TO OPERATE IT WITH BATTERY TO OFF THE LOAD FROM PSU.

Thank you.
