We should all post our idle/load temps of the NB with our cooling solution. I have AS5 on my stock heatsink and idle is 35-40'c (depending on time/heat of day).

My system becomes complete at the end of the week.. here`s a sneak peak

oh you are right it is in this thread, its too late for me buddy :D damit multitasking ; )
where exactly have you dremeled your spire cooler s7e9h3n? the stock one is too loud for the poor performance..
@ArcticOC
this is relly kewl!
@unreal
will post my temps tomorrow with closed case
^^Hey, that looks sweet, and cool. :)
I didn`t read the whole thread, but my DFI SLI NB fan failed too, I replaced it with an old Saffire 9800 pro heat sink and fan. Temps are about the same, and no RPM sensing, but what the heck, it works.

Fear my paintskills
i bought the icebergq4 pro for my a8n sli and temps are 32° is not dead silent but is pretty silent compared to my old chipset fan i had to dremel quite a bit and i can use my 2 vid cards it worth the change
you can also unplugg the normal chipset and put a 80mm fan near it blowing air and it will work exactly the same very silent (i had a 80mm TT 22cfm temps were 33 32)
To all of you that have been asking me about the messures of the chipset, here is a drawing I made in Paint

it is much easier to do this: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9153
dropped my temps from 55 to 41.
agree ! the other coolers dont look that better......but the thermalpad they use is horrible. Just remove stock NF4 HSF, use a razor/alcohol and remove the pad, insulate the surrounding area with electrical tape and put a thin layer of AS5 on the chipset. Re-mount the fan.Quote:
