[QUOTE=ArcticOC]Still enhancing my cooler.. Also solved the problem with high temps on the powercuircut for the memory (4V jumper). The copper heatbridge take care of that PS! More to come :)
Very cool design !! :toast:
You own a machine shop ? CNC ? :D
Thanx!
Nope, i made the hole thing using:
- circlesaw (for cutting metal pipes/profiles)
- table drill
- flexi cutter
Mostly normal tool`s found in a standard garage
Don`t have a CNC bench :(

ArticOC your rig is awesome!!! You easily have the highest clocked passive A64 right? Definitely make a thread in the SilentPCReview pic gallery (hell, go ahead and submit a worklog/article), I'm sure a ton of people would love your mods.
Thanx!
I`m already registrated on SPCR.. But I don`t like that forum :stick:
The posting rules there is too damn strict and some of the moderators is so damn picky. I havent fealt welcome there since the first day I posted on that forum. And the quality level of the users there is not so high, no spectacular mods, I`m easely beating the top clocks there with my system :fact:
If I post a worklog I rather do it here :toast:

Nothing you already haven't seen. Still though this 92mm fan keeps the whole area nice and cool. Even when running 3.5vddr the pcm chip is kept under control. A thermal probe attached to the heatsink right next to the ram slots without the fan registers 80+°c and with the fan it's in the 40's. Show's what some active cooling can do.

This is what i used: http://files.upl.silentwhisper.net/upload2/PA190072.JPG
And how it hangs on the board:
The frame is slightly smaller than the ramslots, so it snapps on... on the ram "snappers" hehe. Bulletproof solution :)

Very nice crafmanship, although it seems that not all the chips make proper contact?
Did you gain any more MHz on your ram after this mod?
diamonddog
10-20-2005, 10:16 AM
The one pic was one of the first tries. Now all the chips have full contact. I won 11mhz extra. From 260 2-2-5 to 271 2-2-2-0 stable. The water have about 15 degrees. In winter time when it will be very cold outside about -20°C I will try give the bh5 -30°C. The water is phase change cooled to 15°C. Lower I have to insulate and insulating for rams is not so easy. So when it is outside cold I don't have to insulate. I hope for 280mhz :D 32M Super Pi.

Fortunately, I have a mach II gt block and a MSI Neo2 Platinum that works perfect for sitting two 80MM fans on top of the block and allowing the power cords on the right to hold the fans in place.

Bladesinger7x
11-18-2005, 03:06 AM
I purchased them here in Slovenia. They cost ~2 $ per piece.
In Australia, I don't have a clue.
I think they are videocard memory coolers (2 pieces came in
the box) - similar heatsinks were found on the GF2 cards :D

And dit you gain any mhz with it?

My ghetto ram under a fan. 2x256MB Nanya PC2700 @ 145MHz (2.5-3-3-7-2T)
I should really tighten down those timings, lol.

About the brand - No idea :confused: As far as I recall the box just states
ram cooler - no manufacturer. If I see it in the store I will check it for you
(probably Monday).
No, havent tested it yet. Naked they did about 244 Mhz on 3.1v +.03v option
on the DFI NF4 (bios reads ~3.19v). That was memtest #5 50 pasess - can't
do more than 3.1v with my current PSU (it's a 20-pin Chieftec 420W PSU :rolleyes: ). Santa's bringing a new one :D
But I intend to run a few test in the following days if there will be enough time.

Don't mind the towwel at the bottom of the case. That's only temporary to avoid pump noise/vibration. I still have to find a permanant solution.

The dominator cooler pushes a bit of air, but the fans are a bit higher up than i like (because of the dominator heatspreaders)
I'd use it for 2 sticks of normal ram, but not for 4
