Asus P5W64-WS Pro & JingTing Forcetake cooler

How about Arctic Silver adhesive instead?

IMO the tape that comes with the sinks sucks ass.

One question:
Why not just use TWO of the Swiftech MCX-159-CU's, one for sorthbridge and one for southbridge? The southbridge one could be passive, and then use a fan on the northbridge one. I don't really see the merit to the JingTing???

Did you not see the pictures and me explaining exactly why I went with a JingTing for the SB?



Look at the clearance between the bottom of the card and the heatsink below. I don't think you're going to be able to fit the Swiftech on there somehow! Even with watercooling instead of the IceQ3 cooler the actual PCB would still be in the way.

If you go Crossfire on this board with an X1900/X1950 then there would be about 5mm space above the stock heatsink. There's no way you could fit the Swiftech on the SB and be able to use the 3rd or 4th PCI-e slot for a long card.

I didn't want to do anything permanent to this board just in case I ever wanted to sell it.
