The full story

After buying a Noctua cooler and four case fans, the maker wanted to find the most pleasant sound curves for each fan and for the group. A microphone was placed near their head and Claude Code spun each fan header up and down, recording against the noise floor, and mapped the tones against what people tend to find more pleasing.

Claude controlled the fans, wrote the script that listened over the mic and saved the config to FanControl.exe by itself. The maker reports the result is "Pretty quiet".

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
