The board used for both the Dark and UT seem to be the same, but the heatpipe coolers are not. You linked to the Dark board.

that is on PWM?

wow, your system looks so clean and well thought-out with single mcw-30, just how it sjould be
uncompromising decision

i will do the same

finally, heatpipes centrilized cooling system has a real advantage

just interesting, do people from dfi made the possibility of using one wb specially?

edit: do i need to change stock thermointerface??

@Factotum
Could you please check the distance between the two threads for the fittings on the EK S-Max? I am not sure if my fittings (outer diam. 20 mm) will fit on it ...

Thanks, but this is no answer to my question

I do not use the Feser-fittings (and do not plan to use them in the future).

The distance between the centers is approximately 27 mm

Thank you very much indeed!

I've now got a Swiftech MCW30 on my DFI UT X58 Northbridge. None of the installations packs worked to my satisfaction. The closest was the 'MCW30 AMD PACK'. I had to replace the two 4-40x1 1/4" screws with a couple of 4-40x1 1/2" screws. That made the spring mount setup perfect to attach the chipset to my NB.

I set on NB EK NB S-Max - this 100% compatible

NB compatibility list:
EK-NB S-MAX
EK-NB S-MAX Acetal /checked by me/
EK-NB/SB 5 /don't checked/
EK-NB/SB 5 - Acetal /don't checked/
MCW30 /checked by Praz/

SB compatibility list:
EK-NB/SB 6?
EK-NB/SB 6 - Acetal?

PWM compatibility list:
Watercool HEATKILLER SW-16

EK-Mosfet DFI UT /don't checked!!!/
EK-Mosfet DFI UT - Acetal /don't checked!!!/

Links:
WB PWM - Watercool SW-16 or MIPS?

correct me if i am wrong

I just read the See Removing Northbridge Cooler and now I know why removing the screws was so painful

.

I'm guessing that where you say 'don't checked!!!' you mean 'didn't check!!!'.

I've got the Swiftech MCW30 on my NB but my PWM temp is still high under load. I was going to ask if I could remove only the PWM heatsink but from the image above I'd say the answer is yes.

Now what I need is a compatible mosfet block. I'm leaning towards giving the EK-Mosfet DFI UT Water Block - Acetal a try.

That is a picture of the DK board not the UT. To remove the PWM heatsink will require removing the entire heatpipe assembly. That is not a good idea with this board. Some will have success but others will sooner or later end up with a dead board.

Thanks for the info.

@Factotum
Thank you once again

EK S-Max meets DFI JR X58

**rioja** · 03-12-2009, 01:59 AM

I like how this board could be watercooled. Neat, elegant and (I hope) efficient

**Factotum** · 03-12-2009, 02:30 AM

rioja
where your WRM WB?

**rioja** · 03-12-2009, 02:41 AM

Heatpipes will do good job I think, so I may watercool PWM (and SB) trhough the NB and heatpipes. Cooling system is real advantage of X58 over X38, so why throw it out?
So those MIPS block is not needed anymore. And loop restriction is lower also.

**Eddy_EK** · 03-12-2009, 05:38 AM

Hi!
The blocks that should fit are:
NB S-MAX
NB/SB 6
Mosfet DFI UT

This is visual fit.
Dont know why Mips had to make revision 2 for the X58 card???

edit: becoz cpl cover part has a few mm interference with 8-pin connector. but u may cut it if u need, so we may say that ver.1 fits here also, with a little mod.

**woffen** · 03-12-2009, 01:14 PM

So, without modding the EK UT Mosfet block will not fit?

are you sure about this components?

**werdwerdus** · 03-22-2009, 09:10 PM

I think I might need to put water on my NB, and it seems to me the blocks that fit the t3eh8 will fit the t3eh6, would anybody agree or has definitive knowledge?

**rioja** · 03-23-2009, 02:20 PM

using only one mcw30 on the nb allowed me to lower temps on nb/pwm at idle from 54/59 to 33/41 respectively

**Factotum** · 03-23-2009, 02:30 PM

thx for info

**Russ_64** · 04-20-2009, 08:04 AM

Anyone have pics of EK-NB block on the DK X58? Not sure if NBSB-6 or S-MAX is best?

PS - Okay I can see the pics above now (was at work and they are blocked) - EK-S-MAX is looking good...........

**LockBreaker** · 04-20-2009, 10:20 PM

I'm thinking about putting water on my NB and maybe on the SB, but I then have to remove the MOSFET-cooler too, right?

Will the EK NB Max 6 (or something like that) be sufficient enough to give me good temps with a i7 920 clocked to about 3.8 ghz? =)
