I have heard putting a backplate on a CPU, can give you lower temps by giving you a better mount too. That is why I ordered EK's.
It is also why if there wasen't one supplied with the NB, I wanted to make the stock one work so bad!
Yes!! Backplates should always be sold with the block in my opinion.
Is it really use full to water cool the mosfet ? Sorry for the newbie question ;)

That is absolutely the cleanest H20 system I have seen. Where do you get the hose connectors? They really finish off the installation!! Also, What resevoir # is the one you used? I have a Stacker with the Asus Maximus Formula SE board that I am trying to convert over to H20 so very interested in the parts you used. I have the Thermochill pa 120.3 reservoir and a Swiftech MCP355 w/Custom MCP355-DDCT-01Quote:

We want backplates supplied with the blocks as standard equipment. We could make them by hand, or special order tham if thay are made for our mobo, but supplying them with the block is the best option. ;)

I am going to cool CPU, NB, and 1 bad boy GPU, in my 1 loop using the ThermoChill PA.120.3 radiator and D5 pump.
I think if I would have put a CPU, GPU, NB, SB, and 2 MOSFET blocks in my 1 loop, my temps would have suffered. By cooling my SB with the Enzotech Forged Copper CNB-S1L sink, and dedicated 60mm Panaflo axial fan rated at 12CFM, and my MOSFETS with Thermalright heat sinks, I think I did myself a favor.
Tough call to make... :)
i used EK-Multioption RES 250 rev.1, and the connectors are like this: LINKQuote:

the parts iam looking to get are:
1) Cape Coolplex Pro 25
2) D-TEK FuZion CPU with Nozzle kit
3) ThermoChill PA120.3 + Shroud planning to place it at the bottom, some modding will be taking place similar to Polished Orange/Blue Stacker 832
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=163563 from where i got the idea of it.
4) Laing DDC-1T-PLUS with Alphacool Laing DDC Pro/Ultra top
will be based on 3/8 ID fittings with ClearFLEX 60 Premium 3/8 ID
:welcome: Any thoughts ´??
Just keep in mind this is my first setup but i learn fast.
just figured id point this out, look at how little contact area the TIM is making to the stock NB heatpipe cooler
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f9...Picture078.jpg
Can't be good...
Gasp! :eek:
Less than optimum for heat transfer? :p:
Mabey the stock TIM will make up for it some? :rofl:
Sorry, it's easy to make jokes on this side of the fence...
I do still believe the stock cooling is fine for mild over-clocking....
I do however think you can't have too much thermal play room either, and cool chips add to system stability.
Aftermarket blocks, and a quality mount and TIM are going to do better here for sure.
no update from me for some time sorry
the phase unit is working with the water setup although the ATI HD 2900 XT is sent out for RMA i have a POS 2400 in there and it sucks. no issues with the waterblocks from EK. :)
BAM, love that pic, So much surface, so little contact:down:Quote:

I also think that the fusion block is the Corner Stone of that whole heatpipe setup, so the better you get Xfer the better it will effect the whole heatpipe solution.Quote:

I am also speaking from the point of a Maximus Extreme owner, the bigger Blue heatsink (covering 2 chips) is more problematic to replace with all Aftermarket solutions.
Speaking about the Maximus Extreme only, I should have the first working prototype from EK to replace that blue Crosslinx heatsink in a few weeks.Quote:

i just wanted the Fusion block as a desk ornament :D
So i guess im not going to risk anything an just order a backplate for my mosfets. i have to drain my loop and add a few things anyways.
ware/who can i get them from???

Well the MCW30 fits fine on my board... it is a tight fit, but works none the less.

looking good :)
ok at 3.8ghz and 1.5volt vcore unit is at -27C room temp is 26c at unit inlet.
on the water front the NB and SB temps are well wonder if there correct speedfan is showing
system at 37c
cpu at -4c i know this is wrong
aux at 19c
core 0 -7c i know this is wrong
core 1 -7c i know this is wrong
core 2 -14c i know this is wrong
core 3 -14c i know this is wrong
Okay i ran some tests of before my EK water block install and after. heres the numbers:

so you can see some temp drop :yepp:
at least the EK blocks are not restricting and making temps worse
now i just need to test my NB. and im sure that is a lot cooler than it was stock
Thanks for the report! :cool:
Sweet system for sure!! Thanks for the post. :up:Quote:

ok so the cpu and core temps are off due to the fact they are realy some where in the range of -27c to -32c so way low the 401 bios could read the cpu tem fine and said -32c the core temps are from the cpu and the temp probe can't read that low.
the system temp is and should be the temp in the air of the case at 37C it warm but ok due to every part is under water cooling. and 19C on the north bridge with high volt to it is good to
update on cpu speed was able to boot to windows a at 3.9ghz still have to fully tested though.
No 19°C on the Northbridge isn't just good, it is fantastic and to me it's another confromation that an aftermarket NB block, gives much better temps than the stock ROG block! :up:Quote:

taloman what do i need to post to get on the list of temps
plz give example of settings and what test.
i have all day tomorow to test and see if I get to 4.0 on the quad setup.
I'm curious how to read, log or graph the NB temps in windows??
try occt and speedfan combo it does a good jobQuote:

I need NB volts, CPU type and speed, and the biggie... A loaded NB temp.
Your 19°C temp was not loaded correct?
I want to see how high the aftermarket block will let your NB temp climb under a harsh load. :)
Just let me know when you are reporting your official numbers, and the chart will be updated with your data. ;)
We need more Aftermarket block numbers to hit the chart ...
Mabey we should include the block type too in the aftermarket section? :)
I think so...
I looked in SpeedFan and im not sure which temp it is?Quote:

Good question. I still can't normally find the NB temp on most posts of just screen shots! :)
I need it spelled out for me too, if they wan't it on the chart. (Somebody get us up to speed on that please.)
FYI - I moved our temp chart to the origional post in this thread too, in addition to it also being listed in the thread dedicated to the Stock ROG Cooling.
I figure we may be getting a few more 'aftermarket block' temps submitted, and we won't have to look for the other thread to see the chart updated.
As members submit their numbers, the originoal post will be updated... ;)
Check it out... I found the color button! Too Flashey? :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is our collection of LOADED NB temps reported my various members. I would like to see more aftermarket loaded NB temps hit the chart.
Please feel free to submit your data, and this chart will be updated. :)
Reported loaded NB temps using aftermarket blocks:
Aftermarket Block Member --- NB volts -- NB Loaded ----------- CPU ------------------- NB Block
Creek Tha Gray ---------------- 1.61v ------- 20°C ------------- Q6600 @ 3.9GHz --------- EK S-MAX

Note: Loaded NB temps over 47°C are prone to failures during longer Prime torture test runs.
If you go through the removal of the stock ROG cooling, and officially join the aftermarket club, it is my firm belief that you will be enjoying lower temps. :)
ok so here we go testing tonight is
with NB at 1.61volts cpu is at 1.55 volts
fsb is 390mhz or rated fsb of 1560mhz
cpu is at 3.9ghz stable occt at 30min
temp on cpu is some where equal or below -22c jin unit temp is at -22c during the test.
NB was at 21c for first 8min or load then down to 20c for the last 17min or load and room temp is 24.6c
loop is MCP655, MCR220 QP, PA120.3, 2 x EK-Mosfet ASUS 3a (X38), EK-NB S-MAX, EK-NB/SB ASUS 3 then back to pump
Thanks for the post.Quote:

Origional post updated.
30 minutes of hard processing is certainly good enough to make an entry on our NB heat chart. I believe that was about as hot as your chip was going to get.
I also updates the OP with the blocks currently out for the Maximus.
Please let me know if this is not correct:
Some Aftermarket Blocks made for the Maximus SE:
I believe this is still current:
__________________________________________________ ________________________________
A recap of the 'Confirmed block fit list' for the Maximus SE:

I just emaild the guys up at SpeedFan to see if i can get a little more insight into configuring SpeedFan to read the NorthBridge thermal diode with the Maximus SE.
Does anyone know if the NorthBridge's input is on the (W83627DHG WINBOND) chip or the (ADT7475 Thermal Monitor and Multiple PWM Fan Controller) chip???
I know the CPU and System temps come through WINBOND, but i think thats it. so im not sure ware the NB is.
Does Asus's AI Suite also read out temperatures?
Perhaps you can run both to match which thermal diode is which chip...
Everest works fine, and it's worth the money for a full version IMHO.
Here's an excerpt from Everest's sensor debug report:

Scooby:)
Hey Scooby,
you may remember me about asking about your heatsinks and all and you may not remember me. anyways, that looks awesome stuff, very nice and neat, but may i ask what size tubbing are you using?
to me it looks like 1/2"
Yes I remember and yup, their 1/2"ID 3/4"OD tubing. Thanks
Note: if you guys are going to use the Thermalright HR-09U Type 2 on your mosfets especially the one by the I/O plate side you will notice that the two capasitors make for a tight fit when installing the heatsinks. I took a Dremel to one of the fitting and sanded it down a bit to thin it down and BAM!!! When Installing it did not even touch the capasitors. Sorry no pics but I thought for those of you who want to do this should know.
thanks for that, i love the way it looks, nice and beefy
As for the capacitors are they the blue ones next to the I/O plate in the first picture you posted?
Thanks for thi info Scooby!Quote:

ok so with a quad i can get max speed so far of 3.95ghz im running 3.9ghz stable no issues and at 4.0ghz can't post at all
this is all with the 907 bios and i have been tryign a little here and there and if you look at my setup cpu temp no issue due to being about -27c and NB temp is around 20c under load so its ether this cpu's limit or the bios needs a update or major tweeking.
3.95GHz is a super OC. ;) :yepp:
If it is a BIOS wall, you probably won't have to wait too much longer until the next one is released. ASUS has been releasing them at a pritty good clip.
I say relax and enjoy your 3.9 for a while, until the next one comes along. :p:
By the way, what GHz is 444x8.5? Is it 3.77GHz? I want to fix weescott's CPU entry on the NB listing.
Does anybody know what the NB voltage is set to on the 'green setting'? DerekFSE cound not tell how to get that info at the time of his post.
I would like to fix that entry too. I am sure it was set to whatever it defaults to. He never changed it.
A bit more tweaking got the CPU down to 65C and NB 39C at the same clocks. I know this CPU's good for more but it's going to take some more cooling. I was thinking the core temps were bad because of some problem with my loops, not sure now I've seen similar on a 3.25GHz E2160, might try putting an E2140 in to see how temps are on this CPU. at equivalent clocks.Quote:

to get to the 3.95ghz speed im using phase change and the other parts are all water cooled except the video due to its at rma.
Thanks.Quote:

I would really like to get your loaded NB temp officially recorded. :up:
This temp results are idle with stock V, tomorrow when i finish my lc - i make tests idle/stress :)
My new stuff from usa arrived :)

More pics and worklog in My XS theme
No problem buddy, I can wait. :)
Ya got to love getting some new supplies in. :p:
And speaking of new supplies, yesterday I ordered some Arctic Cooling MX-2 from NewEgg. The more I read about this stuff, the better it sounds. :)
When my EK NB block arrives, both it and my D-TEK FuZion will now officially be mounted using MX-2 as their TIM.
I figure as much as we spend on our waterblocks, it is almost crazy to not use the finest TIM we can get our hands on. There are one or two other TIM's that might even give a wee bit better performance, but due to them eating aluminum, I ruled them out as something I would want to run in my system.
I am officially a MX-2 guy now.... :)
It looked to be a smart selection.
Check out the OP in this thread too boy's. I am trying to make it as informative as I can. If there are any ideas of what also might be good to add, feel free to suggest it! ;)
I think you mean aluminum, here is a incert on the specs...Quote:

But MX-2 is as good, hell I'm using it.:up:
Good call buddy!! my bad..... :)
I changed it. Gave me the willies just leaving that posted. ;)
I was thinking of this post.

Almost have all of my first WC material. Last item to buy is the NB WB. Which of the 3 recommended is the better one and by how much? Prefer to go with MCW30 cheaper and easy to get in canada!
Would go with DD or EK if they are much better!:)
You have seen the warning on the MCW30 possibly fitting a bit snug correct?
I would try to order the EK NB block from Petras if I had to do it over again.
This waiting on the mail stuff, can work your patience some...
I am not sure wich aftermarket block is best, we need more posts. ;)
Creek Tha Gray seems to have a nice low max load NB temp, going on his EK block. :)
Would love to buy it from petra but it is a no-gop to ship to canada!:(
How is the DD Maze4?
Clunk thought it fit well on the Maximus. :)Quote:

Well, according to Clunk's Maximus Living Review web page: http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/revie...ng-review.html
He posted this on page 1 after his DangerDen Maze4 install: "Ok, I was having trouble getting stable for more than 20 mins at a time last night, and it turns out that the RAM needs to be in the white slots for my particular setup - nothing new there, every Asus board that I've used recently has been like that, and also, Several of the voltages needed upping a bit. Again, this wasnt needed on the P5K Deluxe to achieve the same overclock.
So, just to be sure, I left prime running over night 400x9 1.45v (see what I mean about it needing more juice than the P5K?)
Here are the overnight priming results."
After letting Prime run over night, this is the data taken from his screen shot that he has posted.
Members reported loaded NB temp's in the 'Aftermarket Block Club':
ABC Member ----- NB volts -- NB Loaded ------------------- CPU --------------- NB Block
Creek Tha Gray ---- 1.61v ------ 20°C -- occt at 30min -- Q6600 @ 3.9GHz --------- EK S-MAX
Nikhsub1 ---------- 1.52v ------ 25°C ------------------- Q6600 @ 3.7GHz --------- MCW30
Clunk -------------- 1.74v ------ 35°C - Prime over night - Q6600 @ 3.6GHz ------ DangerDen Maze4
I would guess the MCW30 would keep your NB a bit cooler that the DangerDen Maze4? ;)
Not 100% sure...
Clunk's data has been added to the chart. :)
The MCW30 is a tight fit. I just put it on my NB and it will tilt your mounting screws inwards abit. By abit I mean maybe 1mm total. I went ahead and still used it because I had ordered 2 for another MB in the past, and it works fine. Lowered my NB temps by 10*C as most here have said. I wouldn't expect any more cooling from other products. Oh yeah, and nice numbers there for the NB. I am very close to 1.7v for the CPU FSB and NB, @ 470x8. So far it has passed a 5min OCCT load for CPU. Core temps very close to 80*C. My ambient is abit high though at 33*C.
When you get things settled in, report your loaded NB temp and we will get you on the chart ElEctric_EyE! ;)
Thanks for the post.
As I've promissed I want to show you guys some photos of the back plates I ordered from Chilled PC (http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/prod...roducts_id=344) for my EK-Mosfet ASUS 3a. And also you can find some pictures of my loop with EK stuff:

Can't see the pic's...
Nope... :)

That seems to hold them
Maybe somebody can help me with these photos. I'm using Picasa2 and I 've published them in my Web album but when I try to post a link to show them in the forum the pictures are not showing. Any help?
I also been reading that you might be able to get more stable RAM if you put them in the white slot? Is this true?:cool:
My favorite shot!!Quote:

Thanks.
I managed to put the photos into the forum, so everyone can see them without having to click the link.

Any comments?
I can't say for sure on white slot's, but it has come up enouigh times in the other INTEL OC'ing Maximus threads, that I have baught into it, and will be starting out that way myself apon initial fire up...
nowakjan2000, What TIM did you use, AS5? Your lapping looks good BTW. :)
I wan't some more of the boy's running the EK blocks to check in with their loaded NB temps.
We need to see if Creek Tha Gray's 20°C is freakishly low, ;) or close to par for the corce with the EK NB blocks.
Classic - AS5, and thanks you like my lapping - it was my first one BTW.
