MIPS sell them, they have nowt at all to do with the making of them. They are made by Sixdesign
I wish someone would kidnap the Nvidia CEO and demand a ransom of SLI drivers for the X38 lol
Amen to that!Quote:

I see MIPS got the MOSFET blocks right with the curve above the obstructions. Nice work.
I was thinking about buying the EK version, but how do I know if they are the new version that avoids the interference? Maybe it will have a revision number to keep it straight like the reservoirs.
does anyone have a link to those mips waterblocks? do they make a matching cpu block aswell?

Keep us posted on the EK set, I think some of us stock ROG boys may jump ship back toward the high end blocks.
If anybody has completed converting their Maximus SE over to some aftermarket block, I would love to hear how high your NB temp can climb at it's worst. let Prime run for a while first, or some other program that will stress the system, and give us a reading. ;)
If you haven't been following 'Watercooling the Stock ROG Maximus' thread, Nikhsub1 report is making some of us re-think our decission to run the stock cooling.
A loaded NB temp of 25°C is rather astounding. ;)
I would love more data from the high end block members, to see if others are close to that too...
Reported stock ROG cooling temps so far:
ROG Member ----- NB volts -- NB Loaded --------------- CPU ------------------
Renegade5399 ---- 1.65v ------ 34°C ------------ Intel Core2Duo E6850 G0 @ 4GHz
bill d ------------- 1.30v ------ 34°C ----------------------------- Q6600 Stock
TheSamuri -------- 1.54v ------ 34°C ------------------------ Q6600 GO @ 3.9GHz (Reseated W/MX-2, was 48°C)
ragge86 ---------- 1.65v ------ 36°C ---------------------------- Q6600 @ 3.8GHz
BulldogPO -------- 1.65v ------ 40°C -24/7 QMC crunching clocks - Q6600 @ 3.8GHz
DerekFSE ---- Green setting --- 40°C -------- Running Orthos ----- e6400 @ 3.6GHz
weescott --------- 1.74v ------ 43°C --------(Q9550 444x8.5) 1.49v 62c under load
j0nnyr0773n ------ 1.54v ------ 44°C ------------------------- Q6600 GO @ 3.6GHz
Clump ------------ 1.62v ------ 46°C (After 1HR or Prime 95) ----- Q6600 @ 3.6GHz
raju -------------- 1.65v ------ 49°C (Prime95 Torture Temp) ----- Q6600 @ 3.6GHz
Note: After Raju remounted, max temp went down to 39°C
Note: NB temps over 47°C are prone to failures during longer Prime torture test runs.
Reported temps using afretmarket blocks for contrast:
Aftermarket Block Member --- NB volts -- NB Loaded ----------- CPU -----------
Nikhsub1 ---------------------- 1.52v ------- 25°C ------------- Q6600 @ 3.7GHz (NB Loaded was 41°C-52°C before mod)
Opps: EK block now avalible, and ordered= me happy. Was not when last checked.
No water on SB/Mosfets until second loop for me.
Rub my nose on the link to the block you just ordered...
I wont say what i apid for them as i helped with it!
I can't give NB temps as i have no IHS on my X38 but my bord is working, so i will be running EK block with naked X38
Is this correct?
(1) EK-NB S-MAX Acetal
- Fittings 1/2" ID
(2) 1/2" ID fitting G1/4
Are we just using our standatd NB backplate, or does EK have one?
I guessed were using our own, it works so why not
Gasp ... PayPal!!
No Visa or Mastercard????
I just ordered and joined PayPal...
This better be a good block.. ;)
(1) EK-NB S-MAX Acetal
- Fittings 1/2" ID
(2) 1/2" ID fitting G1/4
I ordered their universal backplate, that I hope will work on my CPU.
Thats the one i ordered and is clamed to be the right one. Seems that the standard backplate and screws fit but not sure until i see it in live.Quote:

Bet that Petra will have that block too later.
I also just like Pete thinking of running with no IHS since that one came of when replacing TIM before first run. Not as mutch for performance as for the not need to thinking if the AS5 under there is to mutch or too liltte or any thing that relates to that it came of when i removed heatpipe first time.
Thanks for the conformation on the block, and the info....
What does fitting fitting G1/4 mean?
I currently have in my system:
Tygon 1/2" ID (3/4" OD) R-3603, and Masterkleer Clear PCV tubing 3/8" ID (5/8" OD).
Is this going to work, and should I have baught some other fittings?
G1/4" is the thread size where you screw the fittings. You need a G1/4" 1/2" barb to be used with 1/2" ID tubing.
I think these are the correct ones for me?
(2) 1/2" ID fitting G1/4
High flow fitting for 1/2" ID tubing with integrated O-ring for perfect sealing and good ecthetic. The thread is G1/4
The thread is G1/4 - This is for the block?
My Tygon is 1/2" ID so I should be golden correct?
It should be right yes. If i not read wrong their is 1/2" fittings supplied with the block if you choose the first option. G1/4 thread and 1/2 tube-fitting that is.
I forgot about that... I did have it set to 1/2" when I clicked to buy the block.. :up:
His bank transfer method is quite good to use. Fast and safe etc.
He didn't want PayPal but everyone complained and asked for it.

What method is being used to remove the NB HS? It's been said to try to remove the NB HS before turning it on (thus heating up whatever TC/epoxy being used). However, when doing so is it any less difficult or does it pop right off with little effort?

Mine came of pretty easy without heating. I had more difficulty with the gluey rubber tape between the mosfet-cooler & alu part of the heatsink..Quote:

I am jumping back over to this as my main thread again...
I am officially out of the Stock ROG club now. ;)
This is how I will be cooling my Maximus SE now...
For cooling my CPU:
D-TEK FuZion CPU Waterblock
For cooling my NB:
(1) EK-NB S-MAX Acetal block
For cooling my Mosfet's:
(1) Part # cpu-tri-40 - Thermalright HR-09S Mosfet Cooler - Slant Type
(1) Part # cpu-tri-41 - Thermalright HR-09U Mosfet Cooler - Upright Type
For cooling my SB:
(1) vid-22 Microcool Chipsink Southbridge Passive Heatsink (Might work on the SB, but might be too tall)
-or-
(1) vid-84 Enzotech Forged Copper Northbridge Low-Profile Heatsink (CNB-S1L) (This is the one that takes moding to make fit. Sweet low profile and copper a +)
Not sure which one I will end up using, but my parts have been ordered.
I am guessing that in the end when I have just CPU, NB, and GPU in my loop, being cooled by a WaterKegIII Xtreme should yield me some low temps...
I just hope my choice of Mosfet coolers will do a decent job for me.
well well well... you traitor! hahah looking foward to seeing your results and how well my stock setup blows yours away. :p: nah, but anywho, i really am looking forward to seeing your setup and temps (if it's worth it i might switch too)! good luck!!! :)
Thanks!!
I am wondering why Clunk had install issues with one of his:
Thermalright HR-09S Mosfet Cooler - Slant Type -or-
Thermalright HR-09U Mosfet Cooler - Upright Type
fitting correctly?
Thermalright thinks they will fit?
http://www.thermalright.com/product_default.htm
Select HR-09 under MOSFET COOLER on top left of screen, then scroll down under ASUS and select X38.
We see out Maximus is listed with this recomendation:
Maximus Formula: I/O Side mosfet HR-09 U TYPE2, Up Side mosfet HR-09 S TYPE2.
I hope they have good info up...
Looks like he had a bump in the road?

For cooling my NB:

2 x EK-Mosfet ASUS 3a (X38)
For cooling my SB:
EK-NB/SB ASUS 3
For cooling my HD2900XT:
EK-FCR600 CF Xtreme
The question would be if they wher both HR-09 U TYPE2
I have serious doubts on the accuracy of their compatibility list. I see the GA-X38-DQ6 is also listed and there's no way you can fit the HR-09 on the MOSFETs as the base is too wide, nor can you fit the HR-05 (either version) on the SB unless they provide a new retaining clip as the hole separation is shorter than any of the 3 clips they previously supplied.Quote:

(1) Thermalright HR-09U Mosfet Cooler - Upright Type
After I clicked 'buy' I found this....
Looks like 1 dude ordered these and 1 would not fit correctly?
http://www.clunk.org.uk/images/maxim...d/IMG_1085.jpg
Do you guys know for a fact that they will fit on the ASUS X38 Maximus SE?
I will post how they respond. :)
Taloman, why didnt you just use the stock heatsinks for the mosfets ? I'm pretty sure they are more than capable of cooling them. I'm also still curious as to which SB heatsink nikhsub1 is using as it doesnt appear to be the enzotech :shrug: . The one pictured looks like it doesnt need any modding at all.
The stock heat sinks might do fine, heck I still think the stock block might do OK?
I guess the same reason I jumped to the EK block over the stock, is the same reason I went with the Thermalright sinks. Just trying to give me more thermal room to play. ;)
As to why I didn't go for the mosfet water block too? I would say cost was some, but I think 2 mosfet blocks along with my CPU, NB, and GPU all being in my 1 loop might hurt my flow, and or temps a tad? I'm too new at the game to know for sure. I do think the Thermalright sinks should keep them a bit cooler than the stock sinks did.
Once I came to the harsh conclusion, that even if I decided to run the stock ROG cooling, it should still be re-mounted. That alone was giving 10 to 15 C lower temps in general. Then I figured if I was going to have to melt all the stock cooling off the mobo anyway, including the mosfet sinks, I might as well upgrade. Then we heard 20 to 25 C loaded temps with an aftermarket NB block, I had to jump. The EK black matches my D-tek black too, so that is why I didn't go for the clear. ;)
I am proud of my TJ09 and how much open air I have in it. I installed lots of fan's in the case alone. Most of my water cooling gear is external in the WaterKeg so it's even more uncluttered. I wanted an excuse to air cool something in the flippin case!! I guess the Thermalright sinks are it.
Fans I have installed in my system so far:
Cooling (Air):
(5) 120mm Scythe S-FLEXT Case Fan. (63.7 CFM/28 dBA) $70.00
(1) ZALMAN ZM-MFC1 Fan Controller Panel. (4 fan speed control, and 2 togle switches) $29.99
(1) Corsair ram fan CMXAF1 RTL. $19.99
(1) Masscool FD07015S1M3/4 RTL. $3.99
(1) Silenx Ixtrema Pro Series 40mm 14dBA 5CFM. $17.00
Now I just have to make sure I can get the sinks to fit, and installed correctly.
I am starting to wonder if my Silenx Ixtrema Pro Series 40mm fan, should now end up on my SB sink?
I ordered new thermal tape. Is that the best to use for attaching these sinks to the mosfet's?
I am using the SB block from my P5W-DH mobo...
Was she an exact fit with no moding?
Exact fitQuote:

Type 3 has the shortest "big side" of 58mm and "short side" of 46mm. Types 1 & 2 each have "big sides" of 84mm. Type 2 has the longest "small side of 70mm while type 1 has a 61mm "small side", and type 3 has the smallest "small side" of 46mm.
I will look into what I used but I do remember the ones I used had clrearence issues with the slide on brakets around the rear mossfets so I made my own bracket from steel BBQ barb skewer with 3mm holes or through bolts from bottom. Thet fit so much snugger then ever. I had to do it first on my old ASUS A8N-SLI cause we had only the 1 ytpe to choose (the ones from my ASUS P5WDG2-WS) and had to even trim the copper base a notch to fit my bolts in.
Hope this helps, again, I will look if you dont find the right size by then.
Also, you can still get the Intel 82801 ICH9R iostar RAID driver installed on current OS but it is trickier, and especially sine we ahve no 2nd SATA controller to use. I'll explain more if needed, here for others or in PM if you'd like.
Good luck!
Well the ones I received look to be some version of a Type 2. At least I got that part right! We will have to see if they will fit on the mobo with no mods....Quote:

Has anybody tried this sizes out yet on the SE?
I will report back on how, and if they fit on the mobo correctly.
Should I use AS5, thermal paste, thermal adhesive, or thermal tape to mount these?
I have received no responce from Thermalright Support as of yet.Quote:

I actually took the adapter tubing which you get from Asus, and simply pushed it into the 7/16 tubing. It was a nice and tight fit. If you touch those adapter tubings you will feel that they are quite stiff, so that would probably prevent leak. What do you think?
Not such a clean cut but you get it.

Ek Waterblocks show how look southbridge block on Asus Maximus Formula:
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7...installsl1.jpg
:down:
When i look and this picture - i think that ek adjust old block to new chipset. This move is of course good when you want cut costs. But why, when like mips-computer, ek can make some nice sb block:
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8...musfulldl6.jpg
:up:
EK Waterblocks dont choose easy way !!!
:) :) :)
I hope that they will release SB block with right gaps to screw in straight :) But until this time we, (Malik and I) have to live with those crooked hehe.
I cleared the deck to make room for my EK NB water block in route...
It took a good 10 minutes with the hair dryer, before the stock goop let me gently wiggle the ROG cooling free.
Remove the 4 screws and all pins before starting.
Never pull up! Just gently wiggle side to side. It will start to move when it's ready....
Ware a glove as the sink get's hot with hair dryer heat blowing on it.
Mine was coaxed off successfully.
No damage was done. :up:
http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/7629/pic053lq6.jpg
I wan't to take that big chunk of Enzotech Forged Copper sink and just glue it to my SB using Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive, and not the pins at all.
They dont line up correctly, and might grind them off?
Would this be OK to do if I don't plan on removing it again?
Will it hold? The bottom of the sink is pritty smooth....
The Microcool Chipsink Southbridge fits just right, and uses thermal tape to connect to the SB.
This sink is not copper like the Enzotech, and stands higher in the air. It might hit a large card?
Like I said, I would rather use the Enzotech and glue it on 'for keeps' if the AS Thermal Adhesive does a decent job of transferring heat, and stayes strong when heatted up?
The Enzotech Copper sink is much heaveyer than the Microcool.
I don't think our SB get's that hot anyway....
Will it work? :)
By the way, it's confirmed my Thermalright's don't fit.
Too large for the Maximus SE.
I don't see why your idea wouldn't work. I do think you may be making things more complicated than necessary. I've followed all the Maximus threads and I can't remember one person that suffered high SB temps or claimed they caused any instability. I do remember one post by someone that water-cooled his and said it was overkill. I removed the stock assembly from the heat pipe and plan to use it with Ceramique. I just haven't decided whether to pull the ROG cover off so the side-fan on my Armor can blow directly on the fins. :)
More pics Taloman ! I personally decided to go ahead and use a HR05 cooler on the SB as using adhesive on the board kinda scares me if it ever came time to RMA (Knock on Wood).
O.K. ...
I took the advice, and also looked at the AS home page and read about Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive. It is not to be used on CPU's but is made for chips just like our SB.
I decided to go for it and attached my favorite sink for the job, (The Enzotech Forged Copper CNB-S1L), directly to my SB chip using Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive.
Thanks ~aoe~ for the sink info. ;)
The AS Home page has this:
http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_s...l_adhesive.htm
Thermal Adhesive Temperature range:
- 40C to >150C (Bond strength is weakened at temperatures below 0C due to crystallization.)
I think my normal SB operating temps should stay within that range... ;)
I like the Caution!!: Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive is a permanent adhesive.
Components you attach with Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive will stay attached forever.
Staying attached forever, sounds like this stuff playes for keeps! That is exactly what I'm looking for... :up:
Note: The Enzotech Forged Copper (CNB-S1L) is sold as a NB cooling sink.
I will only be giving it a SB workload assignment on the Maximus, so it should do a fine job for me! :cool:
I just feel like with the sink being stuck directly to the chip, should yield some low SB temps....
Good deal.:up:
Note: The stock SB cooler might be fine, but it is not copper like this Bad Boy.
I am hoping this will prove to be an upgrade for me. My chip to sink contact, is now much better than it was stock.
I did have to give up the Fusion cooling pipe, and any thermal advantage that it did bring to the SB....
My money says the Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive would also beat the ASUS stock goop, in a thermal performance test...
Guess we shall have to see after all the smoke clears... ;)
I did get the sink, and lines on the mobo all lined up pritty good too.
No need for a backplate for this SB rig.
I let it set about 12 hours this way, with the weight on it....
I think the extra weight the NB back plate added, made my 'chip to sink' contact a wee bit better!!
The next guy might miss that.
http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/4763/pic054tg0.jpg
I put the cardboard in there to insure my sink didn't make permanent contact with any caps.
I didn't want them to brunt any of the heat from being in constant contact with the sink.
I didn't cutt my sink in any way, just took the pins out.
Every last g of the sinks glorious copper, will be used for cooling my SB.
Finished!!
Looks decent, and is locked into this spot forerever I hope.... :)
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5084/pic057ad7.jpg
I am thinking about installing this 40mm fan, directly on top of the sink. I am consirned that a long card would then make contact.
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/6105/pic055bk8.jpg
I don't know if the SB even needs a fan... What do you think? ;)
Fan is rated at a full 5cfm.
LOL, yeah you def don't need a fan on the SB, but at the same time it can't hurt either.
no ek waterblocks in mail today will have to see if they come tomorow.
I wanted mine today too... ;)
It has a CPU backplate in the order for me too.
EK-less in Ohio today so far...
I think you should of ground the tabs off, it would of looked neater.
Watering the SB will help make things look nicer. Im doing for shear hell of it.
It does get hot, very hot when your pumping a lot of voltage through it.
Think mine will be the only naked X38 out there! Wopp wopp
I think it will be fun to see all our X38's, and the various options we end up with.
ASUS is keeping the BIOS updates moving at a pritty good clip. By the time I am up and running we should be in pritty good shape.
Even for newbies like me...
I just need to make sure the mobo runs cool for me.
I am hoping the EK NB block will help out big time in that reguard.
As far as grinding the tabs off of my SB sink...
I thought the tabs were too darn handy. If I ever decided to mount a fan on top of the sink, they stand ready to assist.
The tabs do help to cool the SB 1 extra micro-fiffie each too.
I just couldn't part with them.
I had to have both the +2 extra microjiffies of SB cooling power, and the optional fan mounts. ;)
So how strong is this Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive? Should there be any problem supporting a small 40mm fan too, if I so choose?
Would pointing the fan down, or up be best?
If I did opt to run a 5cfm rated fan stuck to the sink, how many extra C's are we talking droppage in SB temp ya think?
Taloman could you link me the NB block you chose, thanks.
I have an MCW30 on my shelf and this board, but nothing for the south bridge. Is it OK to remove the heatpipe and just use the stock cooler on the south bridge? I have an 80MM fan pointed directly at the southbridge right now. I couldn't remove the south sink to put on AS5 because the whole assembly poped off and left the south and the heatpipe came off at the southbridge for some reason. Any thoughts on using stock cooler with fan?
In this eternity we are all n00bs
Here it is ....Quote:

More of the stock ROG SB sink withought the sticker, just to give you a better idea of what it looks like. ;)
(Green sink from old system)(ROG stock aluminum)(Microcool Chipsink SB aluminum), and the (Enzotech Forged Copper CNB-S1L) mounted on my SB.
Either that ROG pipe adds allot as far as cooling goes to the SB, or we have some room for improvement here. There is not much to this aluminum sink, nor did I have much faith in the stock compound they used to mount it to the chip!!
The ROG plate did hide how the pipe and chip are connected, but I think it cutt down on the air flow to the sink.
It might not take too much here, to officially give your SB temps an upgrade....

I will be using the Arctic Silver Premium Thermal Paste on mine, just as I do on the CPU and the D-tek.
what are you all using to get the original thermal stuff off the nb and sb?
Acetone, and a paper towl to remove the lions share.
I used my ArcticClean kit, using the both the Remover bottle (1), and the Purifier bottle(2), using Q-tips in the final stages. ;)
Hi, or nail varnish remover, it's much the same as Acetone, it's good fun if you breath it in as well :p:Quote:

You got custom for them to get through 1st. USA being USA it'll have every test given to it, i'd say 7 days least for it
Nothing new to report on the EK situaction on the Ohio front.... ;)
OK .. So recap on if you decide to change over from the stock cooling, there are lot's of options. These ended up being my final selections:
For cooling my CPU:
D-TEK FuZion CPU Waterblock, D-TEK quad nozzle installed with flow gasket, lapped CPU, mounted using Arctic Silver CMQ-22G The high-density, ceramic-based thermal compound.
For cooling my NB:
EK-NB S-MAX Acetal block, mounted using Arctic Silver CMQ-22G The high-density, ceramic-based thermal compound.
For cooling my SB:
The Enzotech Forged Copper Northbridge Low-Profile Heatsink (CNB-S1L), mounted using Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive. Chip turned 45 degrees from the norm to make tab room. (Stuck to the SB chip, playing for keeps!)
For cooling my Mosfet's:
My Thermalright's didn't work out, so I am sticking with the stock sink for now. I still dont know the best way to mount this....
We have the stock thermal tape, which was making contact with all the mosfets as an option.
I have the Thermalright's tape that was in their boxes, I could use on the MOSFETS.
I have some new thermal pads in my EK order that I could use and might be better quality, don't remember the brand right now...
I have heard some have used Arctic Silver ceramic-based thermal compound, but I don't know how to put it on thoes tiny chips... :p:
If we are keeping the stock MOSFET sink, what is the best possible way to re-mount it? ;)

Taloman, what raditator will you be using with this set up. Also, what gpu do you have? Are you thinking of WC it too ?
ThermoChill PA120.3 in the WaterKegIII Xtreme.
Q6600 GO
GPU us looking like the GTS refresh available Dec 15th to 17th, then the 1TF monster card using the 90 day step up.
I will water cool my video card, but might not want to buy blocks for it until I use my step up program, and see the card I end up with.
I don't want to buy my GPU blocks twice.
talonman has caught the WC'ing bug!!! :D
You know it!!!
I was happy charting our stock temps, thinking we were doing pritty good...
But that was the pre-nikhsub1 post days!! ;)
His data messed with my head bad:
__________________________________________________ ______________________________________________
Reported stock ROG cooling temps so far:
ROG Member ----- NB volts -- NB Loaded --------------- CPU ------------------
Renegade5399 ---- 1.65v ------ 34°C ------------ Intel Core2Duo E6850 G0 @ 4GHz
bill d ------------- 1.30v ------ 34°C ----------------------------- Q6600 Stock
TheSamuri -------- 1.54v ------ 34°C ------------------------ Q6600 GO @ 3.9GHz (Reseated W/MX-2, was 48°C)
ragge86 ---------- 1.65v ------ 36°C ---------------------------- Q6600 @ 3.8GHz
BulldogPO -------- 1.65v ------ 40°C -24/7 QMC crunching clocks - Q6600 @ 3.8GHz
DerekFSE ---- Green setting --- 40°C -------- Running Orthos ----- e6400 @ 3.6GHz
Aldy402 ---------- 1.63v ------ 43°C ----------------------- Q6600 G0 @ 3.825GHz (Was 62-65°C loaded on air)
weescott --------- 1.74v ------ 43°C --------(Q9550 444x8.5) 1.49v 62c under load
j0nnyr0773n ------ 1.54v ------ 44°C ------------------------- Q6600 GO @ 3.6GHz
Clump ------------ 1.62v ------ 46°C (After 1HR or Prime 95) ----- Q6600 @ 3.6GHz
raju -------------- 1.65v ------ 49°C (Prime95 Torture Temp) ----- Q6600 @ 3.6GHz
Note: After Raju remounted, max temp went down to 39°C
Note: NB temps over 47°C are prone to failures during longer Prime torture test runs.
Reported temps using aftermarket blocks for contrast:
Aftermarket Block Member --- NB volts -- NB Loaded ----------- CPU -----------
Nikhsub1 ---------------------- 1.52v ------- 25°C ------------- Q6600 @ 3.7GHz (NB Loaded was 41°C-52°C before mod)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25°C for a loaded NB temp is much better than what us ROG boys were getting.
My big fear of taking all my stock cooling off my $300 Maximus, lost to the thought of being in that °C of a neighborhood on my NB too.
I also found this post disturbing... :)
I decided to go for the dreaded removal, and am not looking back!Quote:

Do you have any thoughts on best way to install our stock MOSFET heat sink, or cool our MOSFET's in general Samurai?
I have been doing some reading on the net, and it seems some feel that individual sinks on each mosfet might do better than 1 big sink?
Not too sure what to think about that myself...
I figured my CPU, NB, and GPU will probably be enouigh for my 1 water loop?
I am up for about anything other than water for cooling, for cooling the MOSFET area I guess...
Just so you have the correct info, for trying to cool your MOSFET's with Thermalright heat sinks.
I ordered the incorrect sizes from FrozenCPU.com
(1) HR-09U L84 x W17 x H48mm, and
(1) HR-09S L84 x W32.3 x H48mm

:( No Ek Waterblocks in today this is getting old its the only thing im waiting on.
I called my wife from work today, and asked if we received any deliveries at the house. She replied YES! I asked what? (Hoping EK might have arrived) She said my Amazon DVD made it here.
DVD's!!!
LOL .. ;)
I guess it is a long way from Slovenia, to Ohio!! :yepp:
I have the faith it will be worth the weight for us...
It's gotta make it.. I joined PayPal just to order this NB block. Mabey my GPU block will come from EK too, and I will get more use out of PayPal?
I am a Visa fan myself. I have 1 card I am allowed to use on the internet. Actually a checking account visa that wont work unless there is money in my account. I only move money into that account, right before an online charge is made. I keep about 20 bucks in there normally, so that is the most I can get taken for on that card before it begins to reject all transactions. It is a good idea for the net. (No I don't work for Visa, just a caushious online customer)
eddy from ek said it takes about 7 to 9 biz days to get to usa so today was my 6th biz day but 8th non biz day -sundays could be here tomorow.Quote:

The HR-09U Type2s fit perfectlly, so to confirm, if you guys want an after market cooler for your mosfets on the Maximus the Thermarght HR-09U Type2 is the one you should get.:up:
Sweet setup Scooby!! :up:
I had to work to get my Thermarght's installed, but I think I did OK? :D
They look like they do such a good job of cooling, I didn't want to just give up on them.
Using Ace'es info on his mod's posted in the Abit IP35-Pro thread, I baught Round Head Machine bolts #4-40 X 3/4", some 1/2", and one, full 1"er for the 'Power Bridge Fan Mount' too. ;)
They didn't have his recomended Galvanized washers with the rubber gromet fused to the washer.
I baught metal washers, and rubber washers too. I have a rubber washer on the back of each bolt, to protect the motherboard, and give the mount a little spring to it. I wouldn't want to overtighten the mounts, and crack the mobo. The rubber washers help me insure I don't overtighten the nuts.
I also opted for brass.
Here is my wrong sized Thermarght's....

I made small squares of aluminum foil to put in the space the washer has to make contact with, on the top side of the sink.
I wanted to give the washer a better surface to lay flush againt, using the washers entire surface. I didn't want the washer just making contact on one of it's sides, and the other hanging in space.
You can see the foil in there...

I also made me a power SB cooler. 'PowerBridge Cooling now Online!'
It is hovering about 1/16th of an inch above the sink, but not touching it. ;)

Nice mod on those HR-09s :up:. I wish I'd have thought of that when I was trying to install them on my P5WDH :doh:
Thanks!! They look like they are making decent contact with all the chips too.
I was thinking it was a total loss...
Sweet recovery.
hey guys when i was taking off my heatpipes i needed to use the hairdryer.after the heatpipe freely came off there was still some thermal pase(glue) left on the nb and sb i am unable on how do get it off with out damaging the core.
also i found it very hard to take the termal paste of the sb.first i tryed AC thermal remover and that did not work.so then i tryed a blade but it was just scraping the serface.i then tryed using 400 grit sandpaper and after about 30min i had a good bit of it off.any idea how i can fully clear it ?
here are some pics:

I was trying to think of a polite way of saying exactly that :rofl:Quote:

Better pictures... Thanks for the upgrade! ;)
So how good of a heat sink are the Thermarght's anyway? :)
I was glad to see real Copper when I was drilling.
Taloman, which "Type" of HR-09 ,mosfet coolers did you get ?
Type 1 I guess..... :shrug:
The Type is not marked on the box in any location, nor on the web page when I ordered.
Only the measurements of the incorrect size is given for establishing a true ID:
(1) HR-09U L84 x W17 x H48mm http://www.frozencpu.com/products/57...ight_Type.html
(1) HR-09S L84 x W32.3 x H48mm http://www.frozencpu.com/products/57...lant_Type.html
Are you thinking of giving some Thermalright's a try? ;)

Acetone worked for me :yepp:
thanks guys the nail varnish(actone) worked for taking off the gunk on the chip set but i was unable to remove the stuf from the sb cooler :(
