eVGA MX-440 1U/5v Cooler Mod Guide

After going to my balcony and setting up the workstation (old magazines for a table and a plastic bag as the floor mat), I was ready for some cutting. Basically I needed to shave off about 2-3mm from one of the sides. There was a convenient protrusion from the bottom but it was slanted inward to I decided against cutting from that side. This was dumb, since in the end that would have been the easier route. Instead, I started cutting the fins from the top. There was a lot of slipping, a lot of bending, and a lot of sweating. Two of my wheels broke in the process (either the rotation speed was too low or they got temporarily stuck in the fins). I could have sworn one of them bounced off my goggles before vanishing; good thing I had a pair on. After going through four wheels with little done I decided enough is enough.
