well the main concern was the dead spot on the fan.

As you can see the dead spot is nowhere near the middle of the sink. That solution i feel is THE BEST for our sammys. Unless your going h2o. :wasntme:

Now to find that other koolance block.

actually it does get hot. Both my sinks have some form of fan on it. The top one uses a 80mm, the bottom one has the lianli 120mm blow out on the side.

Respect the system! :D

Oh and yes i aftermarketed the entire board:

And yeah i took a lot of OMG from dave. :rofl:
And a phone call even. :wasntme:

But im still alive :rofl:
Luckly no finger pulling.

i think i spent more money on cooling the board then the board itself. :rofl:

Actually no, I had 4 packages set to mail last Monday. Yours,one to Naekuh, one to MysticMerlin and the package of boards,etc to jaco.
I have them all inside the front door here, grab them and then realise I forgot to include 2 cpu's and 3 tubes of TIM so I let that package here because it was 4pm and I was pushing time for the PO.
The big package headed to Jaco Wednesday.

Edit: Just grabbed this:
Label/Receipt Number: CP88 2442 525U S<-Thats the customs # that you can use to track with.
Status: International Dispatch

Your item left the United States from FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099 at 12:51 PM on September 26, 2008. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

I like that setup with the 140mm fan myself.. and yes, the NB and SB do get hot but a tiny chipset fan will cool them..

You do nice work, no question there.
Another option that will effectively cool the two heatsinks is a 120mm to 80mm plastic adapter with the 120mm side on the HS in a diamond pattern
Then a cheapo 80mm fan will cool both HS and with the overhang of the adapter on the left and right sides will also cool the mofsets and NB

Hi,
I looked at that board but the cheapest I could find it in the US was $339.00
It also uses a tiny heatsink different from the ones used in the pictures above.
Should be a good board and good luck to you grabbing that cheap!:up:

2 models of the sossaman board from SM and they are essentially the same.
One has onboard SCSI I think..Very alike but the SM board and the Tyan boards for the sossamans use those tiny HS that newegg shows for sossamans. They look like NB chipset sinks they are so small.

:D just visiting the SM website - 2 mobos it is, one with SCSI :D... aside from the puny NB heatsink, I wonder how they are overall :shrug:.. I've decided to 'watch' that mobo that test.it linked :D

Yes, but they are in Germany and I am in New Hampshire in the US.
Shipping would be the killer especially when I can drive 19 miles and buy the Intel board for $20.00:)
