I am not sure what kind of metal it is, but is sure is shiny.
Anyway, after freaking out, I mixed up a bunch more thermal epoxy, stuck a bunch in where the IHS used to be, then stuck the stock cooler on, and prayed.
Yesterday, I thought I would give the board a try. To my amazement, the thing booted up, got into the BIOS, temps were Great, and all the devices were showing up! I am so lucky!
So there is now 3 of us with working nake X38's? Only 3 i know of!
The IHS is the same as the IHS on a CPU, Nickle plated copper
Might lapp it and re-fit it!
I dont follow you here. You all mean that the "chip" it self came out of its socket and then was re-inserted to its socket??Quote:

The NB has that metal plate we attach our waterblocks to. It's called the IHS. Pete is saying that the IHS is made out of the same material as a CPU, "Nickle plated copper". So just like a CPU, it could be lapped.
The guys are just poping the metal cover on and off of their NB chip.
Anybody have a photo handy of the NB Chip just hanging out in the wind? :)

The NB has a metal cover just as does the CPU, a few of 3 in total have been lucky in the fact out IHS on the NB came off so we are left with this (photo below) and it also still works!Quote:

I see what you mean, Well good news.. i did manage to remove mine . it took me a while but i manage,,,
see my work log for details
MIPs in action,,

well im redoing my loop this weekend, exchanging the stock block with a mcw30 and using tygon r3400, jus a quick question for you guys.
I have never drained a loop with the block stuck on the motherboard before. What's the best way of dismantling the loop with the stock fusion block? I was thinking to try to drain my loop as much as possible via reservior and then carefully removing the tubes from the block while the mobo is upside down??
that seems to be the most logical procedure..
Thanks for the picture Pete. :)
Sweet looking blocks neo!! :cool:
Aldy402, if your planning on using the MCW30 on your NB, make sure you understand we have had 2 reports of members thinking it was a tad small, while others installed it fine....
Just thought you should know.
This is the 1st test with the MIPS on the QX6700 3.6Ghz NB Vcore 1.70

It landed at 33c for both SB NB and 44c for CPU
I did stopped it to take the picture reson the timer says 15secs only
Ambient 24c
Your CPU is not gonna be 44c if your cores are near 60c. I think that reading is about 15c off.
Nice blocks!!
This is my test with the MIPS on the QX6700 3.6Ghz NB Vcore 1.70
I run it for 45mins, then stopped it and re run it for about 20mins
NB 28c

Now that I have been seen how much your ambient can effect all your temps accrost the board, I think the ambient column needs to be added to the OP. Sorry guys with small screens... I hope it dosen't make it too hard on the eyes?
So boy's, how do you think we should proceed? :)
Do we want a few entries by members at different ambient's, or 1 entry each, and let them pick their favorite? ...
I think I lean toward 2 or 3 each, but would go with the flow...
Members reported loaded NB temp's in the 'Aftermarket Block Club':
ABC Member ---- NB volts -- NB Loaded ------------------- CPU -------------- Ambient ---- NB Block
neo rtr ------------ 1.70v ------ 33°C ----------------- Q6700 @ 3.6GHz ---------- 33°C ---- Sixdesign sold by MIPS
neo rtr ------------ 1.70v ------ 28°C ----------------- Q6700 @ 3.6GHz ---------- 19°C ---- Sixdesign sold by MIPS
Talonman --------- 1.60v ------ 22°C ---4HR Prime95 --- Q6600 GO @ 3.8GHz ------ 12.7°C -- EK S-MAX Acetal (Then I can officiall make this entry with a clean spirit!)

Is your info correct as listed neo? :)
I'd say if possible, let people post a minimum of 2 ambient/ load temps, mine seems to be about 59F minimum and whatever max people may experience. I won't be able to post a max till summer and I see 95-100F. After being stable for 7 days at previously posted settings and temps, I went from a Windows SMP to VMware Workstation with 2 instances of Linux 64 and the corresponding folding smps. I've had to up voltages considerably and NB is currently hitting 35C. I suspect I'll have to go to 1.70v NB to get stable again. At least 2 ambient temps should be allowed. I have no objections to using the scroll bar if others want more ambient options. :yepp:Quote:

Corrected! Thanks.
I think your the first member to post his temps running 5 blocks in 1 loop. :)
I was wondering how much it would change your temps on the NB and CPU.
Looks to me like you won't be having too much of a problem running cool... :up:
I also took more of the info from your build thread for my OP!!
Thanks again for all the help you have given us on ordering these blocks...
I hope you don't mind neo buddy. :D
My read is your a team player, and don't care!
No problem. More that welcome!!Quote:

I believe if I were a Borg, the correct statement would have been: Your data has been assimilated, to service us. ;)
Heck, if you look at yours and my entry, when our ambient temp was closer togeather, I can tell we are getting very similar performance. :)
Only thing is, I'm running 2 blocks in 1 loop, -vs- your 5. :shocked: :clap:
I believe you should be pleased with your temps...
The MIPS blocks look to be solid performers to me. :cool:

Done! :p:
Finally I got my NB backplate sorted, and I have now mounted all my blocks.
Gonna start testing for leaks tomorrow.

For some reason, the screws I got from EK with the SB block (same thumbscrews that came with the NB block) was a tight fit. But I think they are ok.

I look foward to your results Durkadurka.
Thanks for the post. ;)
What RAD are you going to be running?
I have already mounted a ThermoChill PA120.3 in the top of my Lian Li A70B case, using 3 Zalman ZM-F3 fans in a pull configuration.
I'll be using the Swiftech MCP655 pump, Clearflex 1/2" tubing and Feser One (Black) cooling fluid.
For hardware I got the QX9650, 4x 1GB Crucial Ballistix PC8500 and a 8500GT passively cooled videocard (using this while I wait for the nextgen topcard to be released).
All top quality gear... :DQuote:

Just as a matter of trivia, did you go heat or cold to remove your stock cooling?
