What would be the best Air cooler for this board that would fit with the larget northbridge heatsink ?
a TRUE JUST about fits with the uprated NB heatsink. the Zalman CNPS9700-NT fits without any problems

at the boot page there stands qx9650 @ 3,0 but "count:2" so only 2 cores. at windows, all programs (cpu-z, everest, taskmanager, coretemp) and vista (hw manager) itself report 4 cores/counts.
so is it just a bug at the boot screen or something serious? alrdy flashed to 0404, but still the same screen.
one card done and testing...

HD4850 CF numbers coming in the next few days :up:
jugeen can you please post your bios config for CPU overclocking page?Quote:

Ok, I spent the morning chopping up and filing down ramsinks lol! However, I think this is much better (thanks EF for the tips ;) ):

Sorry about that bad pic quality, but u get the idea ;)
Anyway, for those of you prepared to fiddle, using 3rd party cooling on this board is well worth the effort. NB temps are far far better using my S-max. Now i can really start pushing without worring about NB temps being 60 degrees +. Its currently sitting at around 35 degrees :)
I don't see the picture.. :( but glad it worked out for you :up:Quote:

1.7V+ VMCH is now an option for you :D
does anyone else's rampage extreme ROG light and start button flash on and off when your shutdown ?
Mine doesn...just wondered if it's normal. My striker II extreme ROG light stayed on all the time.
Yes mine does - it's a pulsating almost 'heartbeat' like flash.Quote:

Yup, same here... and I agree a bios option would be useful
Will the Thermalright IFX-14 fit with 4 x g.skill memory blocks installed and with the proper heatsink on the northbridge?
I would like the RoG light on all the time. The first time I saw it pulsating i thought the board was powering up and down !

Cant give you any results at the mo but the sinks do sit nice and flush now.
Just rip the thing off, Its only stuck on with tape, it does nothing anyway, I think its stupid to be honest.Quote:

Heya guys, first post here - and thanks to Jody if he got my approval pushed through (took about a week). ;)
Picked up my RE last week and the first thing I did was remove the Fusion block to do some custom cooling with it. I was very careful taking this off because I've been through the process before with my Maximus Extreme - was a pretty trying endeavor. My particular board appears to have had some QC issues as one of the inductors above the northbridge ended up staying attached to the Fusion block when I removed it. Really didn't notice that much resistance, but upon inspection it appears the legs of all 3 inductors on the 'south' side of the board were cold joints so this would explain it. I ended up just removing all 3 and ordering the largest current rated 1uh inductors I could find from digikey in the same package dimensions so in the end this will probably be an upgrade from the existing ones.
Also, plan on doing something slightly different with cooling for the northbridge regulation area...this plate:

can be removed from the Fusion system with (quite) a bit of effort. Yes, it needs to be cleaned up a bit with a grinder.
Here's the general idea:

http://www.cyberfiles.net/mosek.jpg
All held together with generous amounts of AS Alumina epoxy. Could have just used a 40mm heatsink/fan - but all of the other fets are h2o so why not.
You can get a general idea of what I'm looking to do in my sig. Hopefully, I'll have no further setbacks with the system moving forward. :D
Hello ;)
...some problems with fault stock heatsink, see here: http://www.forumdeluxx.de/forum/show...&postcount=338
Wow you packed that Arctic Silver paste on thick -Quote:

yes and i take some extra pads (the little white) on it because it needs this by the distance from the fault heatsink (stock) :mad:Quote:

Do be careful with the block stuck on top of those inductor/FETs, as you have already experienced how easily they come off, the whole northbridge VRM area may go if a little force is applied on the water block.Quote:

Anyway great to have you onboard and keep us posted on your progress! :D
