A64 have that internaly in the CPU right??Quote:

I can tell you this much, on this Asus SLI and MSI neo4 I have here the chipset gets pretty warm. Cooling it wouldn't hurt.

mY nb sometimes is too damn hot, I was just playing Underground 2 and is yet at 60°C
Well it is to be watercooled in other words. Well I´ll fix it in some way. Lets just hope that the nF4 chip have an more "eaven" surface than the nF2.
Just wondering, if I were to SLI two 6800's, would there be enough room to water cool both of them if I were to use a Silverpop Fusion, but use the SL instead of the HL (the SL being the low profile of the two, as seen )here, it's 19mm high).
Sorry for the OT, but thought I may as well ask while we were on the watercooling topic.
Brum Man: Think that will be ok.
Thats a nice looking block.

Is that the low profile version? My friend Jinu has that block on his 6800gt. It is really heavy and well made! He has the big sucker. 2 of these for sli would be perfect.

Well is it as good as it looks?? If it just about the looks i think that "sticker" on the top looks a bit Kmart :)Quote:

Are you seriuos, the Croc Hunter is into overclocking? :D
Send a e-mail and have him join XS, he's a funny guy.

That is no K-mart jobbie, it's one of the best GPU coolers around.Quote:

And it also can fit both Nvidia and ATI cards.
The new Maze 4 block looks nice thought, is it out yet?
right.... try silverprop. obviously steve irwin gives you guys a chance to make fun of us aussies :mad: i'l keep my comments to myself...Quote:

My bad, i though that northbridges didnt really need watercooling...just a good aircooler. Thats what all the watercooling gurus have said... That its not worth the added flow resistance and added temperatures to the water. But if it gets to 60°C...then damn i guess it could use some watercooling
i'm trans am's friend with the fusion, it's a great block. brass = no corrosion. comes in HL and SL versions, SL is slim, HL is fat. HL allows you to mount ramsinks, SL blocks 2 ram sinks where the barbs come out. from the looks of things as they sit in my rig, 2 HL's will probably fit in an sli rig as it takes up just about 2 card slots. if a 2 slot ultra can fit into an sli rig, then the fusion should fit. i'd definitely mount a fan over the cards with a zalman fan bracket to cool the memory, with or without ramsinks.
i don't think watercooling the nf3 chipset is worth it as it hardly gets warm, however, just from playing around with trans am's chaintech board, the nf4 chipset gets really hot compared to the nf3. i think cooling it would definitely help. i'm not sure what kind of nb blocks can fit underneath a mounted gfx card, i'm thinking maybe a fusion SL as its barbs aren't vertical, but horizontal to the plane of the motherboard.

you can make a current maze4 fit 6800's if you drill holes a couple holes in it as it is a couple mm's off from fitting correctly.
They do have one.Quote:

So the UT boards don't come with anything? Just a motherboard in a box? Or is the bundle not as great (cable count wise)?Quote:

Anyone getting a new PS with 24pin to use on this board? problems with the 20 to 24 converter?
any ocz PSU is 24pin ready. :)Quote:

420, 520, 600w and the new modable ones and on some boards you don't have to have a 24pin molex even though there are 24pin connecter on the board you can only use 20 of the 24.
Dose not anyone have reviews about lanparty nf4 yet？？？
i'm waiting, i think a couple guys got the board yesterday, so some preliminary stuff i'm hoping will be up tomorrow.
Check out this radio Interview, They talked about NF3 939 AGP boardQuote:

well now that that's over with, when are the reasonably priced boards coming out?
middle of next month i bet they will be around 200$.
Well as Ati is nowhere near producing the driver yet for using more than one card and rumour has it that it will be Q205 then at present you are only left with nvidia video cards to choose from anyway.Quote:

I had 3 via AMD K8 boards and eventually ended up with nforce3 , saying everbody wins with via rings very hollow in my experience.

Weee!!! Have pre-orderd one now :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :banana: :banana: :banana4: :banana4: :D :D

I can't wait to get my hands on this board. Seems like I just finished setting up my current rig and they just have to come out with another killer mobo :)
I pre-orderd the UT SLI board. I dont relly got use for the other stuff there comes with the other versions.
I have ordered the DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR and i will run it with a ATI X850XT PE. Would this combo work without any problem, or should i choose a other DFI NF4 board? Money is no problemo :banana3:
Where did you order it? What is the expected ship date?Quote:

Exactly as you cannot run SLI with ATI for the time being :rolleyes:
I have preorderd a DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR at www.overclockers.se. Worth to mention is that they ship to Denmark and Norway to.
The card I ordered cost 2095SEK / 6.75 = 310$
Expected shiping day 2005-01-29
Pre-ordered :D
Mine cost 2245SEK, coz of the shipping all the way to Denmark. Either way, it'll be here in February! I think i'm in the top10 pre-ordered, if not, then im screwed :p:
funny if it actually worked with 2x X850 hehe since no one's tried yet ?? :)Quote:

Available for pre-order in the UK here now :cool: - http://www.cpucitystore.co.uk/catalo...roducts_id=648
Its funny, those stores which come first get everything :D
DTP in dk will have it online about 5 days, but shame im gone the next week! So it looks like overclockers.se will have first pick :)
I changed my order to DFI lanparty UT nF4 Ultra instead because i´m gonna use ATI. No SLI or NVIDIA for me. Estimated date 29 january in sweden :cool:
I really do hope so but i wouldnt advise people to spend extra money on an SLI one unless we had some sort of evidence of any ati card working in any nforce 4 mobo which we dont.Quote:
