Whitewater fits on A64 boards (sort of)

[xgman]

Until they come up with an adapter, you can just take the plastic cpu mounting bracket and slide it on top of the WW. Ceter it and screw it down with some screws into the backplate, but you need to use some heavy duty springs on the tops of the screws to get the correct pressure and if necessary use some rubber washers to create the right spacing. I use 4 rubber washers below to help support the frame and keep form overtightening, and 2 rubber washers above to create the right spacing then heavy duty springs that came with a swiftech block. Works pretty well. My idle temps are arround 26 deg. at close to 2500mhz.

looks like it works to me

I see you have a leadtek board.
is that the 754?

K8NW Pro (940)

here is my 462-UH on k8nnxp

man u guys are ingenious!! nice nice nice work boys

You just made my choice of a prometia or A64 setup easier. Good find!

[xgman]

At 2530mhz now idle 23, load 29 deg. This WW works very well on the FX as long as you lap the FX a bit and of course the WW base also.

could just remove the heatspreader from the fx

I already did a couple and the die corners chip/crack too easy.

Do you have any temps to share with us to indicate how the WW block performs on the 64 VS. a regular XP? 26C looks very good actually. How about under full load?

What voltages were you running on each chip?

Thanks!

That was on the leadtek K8NW board. I now am using the Asus SK8V which reads the temps much higher. I think the leadtek temps report was out of wack. The Asus runs in the low to high 30's idle/load, at 2530mhz 1.73v with AS5. I can't remember what temps I was running with the WW on the XP cpu.

Thanks,

That's helpful to me. Kinda suspected the temps were off on the leadtek.

Does that Asus overclock better for you?

I have a WW, and am scouting for my next board. Thanks.

[MRip]

Wow. Never thought of that. You just saved me the $50 for a new waterblock!

IMHO, the sk8v is the ONLY board to consider, at least at the current time. No comparison.

you guys are screwing into the bottom of the board or have it coming up like it does on the XP? (I'm doin the latter, but it doesn't seem to be working too well, can't see how snug it is either :|

[kommando]

Ahahahah nice, im gonna recommend this to all OCAU members. Oh yer don't forgot to check the the micro channels at times, they can get clogged up.

And give it some brasso action.

[xgman]

The only thing is that you have to make sure to get it on nice and even since the block will slip around a bit under the frame untill you tighten it down. I use the washers so it is more likely to get an even tightening on both sides.

You just screw right into the backplate, so you need the right length screws or they will bang into the MB tray. The washers and springs on top help with that. I used some swiftech kit ones. The springs shoulkd be tighter oines than the normal XP ones in order to put enough pressure on the AMD 64 spreraders.

[Saffire]

Ahh, maybe thats why I was getting quirky temps -- I did it like a regular XP (used the same springs and everything). Temps would jump from 40-50 within the span of 5 seconds

When everything gets back in I'll have to try that again.
