    After tearing it apart, flipping the s#!t, and prying it back into place temps are fairly good, I wanted the Ultra120ex to be mounted vertically exhausting out the rear of the case, instead, since my NB overheats with its HS mounted upside down(doesnt dfi picture it upside down?) this is the only way it all fits together, all fans blowing up.. btw, the fans are what I had laying around from previous builds, the NB fan is a zalman 80mm fan (spare from the GPU HSF) it works, whatever, it's my not so quiet xTr33m sammich!

    uhmm wow ! great pics. couple questions... are you concerned about weight with the two 120mm on the ultra ? was it an issue at all like did you hear the motherboard creaking lol... is the top fan on the ultra clipped or is it just laying on it.

    when you say flip the NB upside down you mean rotating it 180 degrees from where it is now ? good to know there could be overheating issues with it like that...

    looks like you aren't using a back case exhaust fan?? is that to do with negative airflow issues or just cause you ran out of fans lol

    I had the same problem with my NB heatsink( getting 54-60c), I had to flip it around 180 degrees but now my Enzotech xUltra120 wont fit that way so i'm not sure what i'm gonna do.. Pwm get scary hot also use caution ! Prepare to spend some more $$$ on this already expensive hot board.

    Honestly rather replace my DFI 680lt then my Enzotech but thats just cause i havent been having much luck with this board.

    i think this makes sense cause the NB HS only has two heatpipes and with it the way sammich has it the pipes are closest to where the 680i chip sits on the board...

    with it reversed they are a good bit further away... if the thing had 4 heatpipes with 2 on each end it wouldn't be an issue...

    The fans don't add much weight, the HS itself is fairly heavy though, Im not worried at all. for some reason when it was mouted vertical and both fans blowing inward it was 3-4c hotter, mouted horizontal, desided to try it again, its running 3-4c cooler over the last 30min this way, I don't really know why, but the ram gets some good airflow now....

    no clip on the top fan, doesnt need it as I don't intend on dragging it with me places, I'll probably wire tie it on when I decide it's good.. looking for some slimmer fans (less than 25mm) for clearance, or a different NB cooler.

    hehe... i will probably not run into this issue... note this is with my 8 best fans already in my rig ::



    thanks for your insights ... i'm not sure why the temps would be higher when its mounted vertically... thats the way i wanted to do it... will have to think now HRmmmm.

    Looking good. Are those parts made out of brass or what is that?

    When will they be available? Where can we get them in NA?

    I believe they are copper with nickle flash...they were supposed to make a pwm for the IN9 32X-MAX. Dunno if they ever did...
    When it's good it's really good...And when it's bad I go to pieces...

    the IN9/Quad GT block is up on the Mips site,however the block shown above is not. Will probably require some kind of adaptor to use 1/2 ID tubing too..

    regards

    Sry, I've no information about a release date or anything else.

    But I think they will be avaible very soon, about two weeks. I think that they'll cost about ~40$ per freezer.
