anyone reroute CE t30/5 power wires to back?
 
i did a search on turbo30 case mods, etc.. and can't find it.

im re-routing the power wires to the back, but the heat sink is in the way. im thinking i can shave some of the case down to squeeze the wires by over the top instead of in the little hole where the fan wires go.

anyone got pics or have done this?

i could have SWORN i saw pics of this online here somewhere...

I personally routed mine out the front made it much more user friendly. But if you must have them out the back, just drill a large enough hole though the heat sink and route you wires through that. Be sure to insulate the wires well so the wont rub on the bar aluminum.

oh the "charge" wires are coming out the front, but im talking about the power wires (to power supply).

ps.. dont want to drill the heatsink, dont have drill strong enough to do that...

been staring and i think i can edge some of the ribbing off to make it fit on top of the heatsink.
hmm

Ive seen peopl do this, but you change the length of the wire and it changes the readings... The wire length is how they get the chargers to read as close to each other.. I had one and went to longer wires.. It always read different when cycling after that.. all my numbers went down a bit from the stock length and settings..

It should NOT effect the power supply wires ...

But if you change the charging lead's wire or legnth then it will change the readings a little.

a little dremel, a little soldering, i did it. thanks for everyones help. ill post pics tommorow or so.

power wires run OVER the heatsink and have plenty of heat shrink and come out the back with banana plugs that are drilled into the back right of the fan.

the charging leads and sensor leads are untouched and come routed out the front via two holes to the left of the controls with a rubber grommet.

the whole case can be taken off without any wires getting in the way.

ahhh.. so much cleaner.
the things you do when your sick at home.
