So this fit with the stock heatpipe still in place without issue? Very interesting. I wonder if the same could be done with a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme installed.

at 350 fsb x 9 (ya it low im just getting started) i needed to lower my gtl settings to 100 100 90 from 110 110 110 to get it stable. now my 680i board from dfi had stock gtl timmings that looked alot different than the p35 i assume thats just because its a different chipset, but the stock values not being stable has me wondering, where is that 110 110 110 derived from? just calculated stock values or random numbers?
The values of 110, 110 ,110 do not represent the current default setting. The actual values depend on the voltage settings. Also a user set GTL value represents a different voltage (percentage) as the corresponding VTT or NB voltage is changed.
Was the copper plate also installed?
The heatsink in the picture is actually sitting on the inductor arrays. The inductors do get quite hot and spread their heat both to the CPU and PWM area, so adding a good heatsink may well help in overall temps a little, if you use some crossflow air to carry the heat away..

@Solarfall.....Did you check the ~Cell Shock~ Ram on you're Mobo yet?
@Brother Esau that its going to be postponed until next week.. if im lucky .. the rma process in the webshop there i bought the (now dead) psu is know for being a bit slow. yeah so hopefully i will get the change to torture those cellchock sticks next week..
Here's mine...

Swifttech BGA Memory Ramsinks :up:

hey JohnMike what do you use for those Swifttech BGA Memory Ramsinks so that they don't fall off ??
Anyone with this board + SILVERSTONE OP1000 PSU ?
I hope they are dont incompatible.. ( like my Liberty psu was.. ).
Thanks :).
i'm using a Silverstone DA750...stable here. dunno about the OP
Its over this CPL-4-50, and i have a fan in the rear of the case intake that helps

I think when you have a cooler (water/air) with a good cooper base, or other stuf like thermaright, its a waste puting the tranpiper cooper base, i have a shiny D-Tek water block its a wast to put transpiper cooper on that.Quote:

Also, has anyone removed the NB on this board and replaced it with a waterblock? If so, how did you handle the other areas of the board covered by the heatsink assembly? Also, what NB waterblock did you use?
Thanks.
Here's my 4-GHz attempt...needs more tweaking tho.:D

Will do priming later on...:p:
Has anyone tried pushing the C2D E6850 with this board upto 4.5 GHz up on air?
On air? I doubt it....
