[LOUISSSSS]

i dont know anything about NB blocks, and this will be my first WC setup, but what are my options for a northbridge block for a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P?

the rest of my WC setup is in my sig.

Swiftech MCW-30 was my choice, have a UD3P board.

does anyone know if the MCW-30 is compatible with the P35-DS3P?

Hmm I should know this, but I just sent my board out.
Give me 2mins\


K, just checked. I have an extra northbridge, thats how I knew the spacing.
2.25" exactly from hole to hole or 57.1mm. Mcw30 goes out to 60mm, so it fits perfectly :)

Good motherboard too. Was able to hit 3520mhz on my x3210 quad b3 cpu.

Is it the same installation method as swiftech CPU blocks? What if I have a single heat
sink for my NB and mosfets connected by a heatpipe as stock cooling?

IMHO performance doesn't really matter in NB blocks, get whatever you like. Most of the 'universal' type blocks should fit for you.

You either need to clamp/cut the heatpipe, buy a mosfet water block, or buy an aftermarket Mosfet heatsink.

can someone tell me what kind of mosfet heatsinks work on the P35-DS3P?? i have no idea...

its either cool the NB or cool the GPU... i'm thinking NB would be more worthwhile...
