[First Look] DFI 680i LT NF-680i LT SLI (56K Warning~~~)

[C-N]

I actually left the little triangle ON. I think it depends which orientation you use for the stock heatpipe cooler, it definitely lined-up with the edge of the triangle in the orientation I used. (Tower farthest away from CPU.)

Mine must have been stuck on wrong then as my triangle bit was near the PCI-E slot & if you fitted the heatsink tower to PCI-E slot the you ended up with a triple foam pad thickness PCI-E side & double on the CPU side.

I took my triangle off & tested the board & I then realised the 680 chip is not in the centre of the 4 hook mounting but rather its off centre toward the CPU socket & logically I figured the NB heatsink heatpipe would be better over the chip than off to the side so I rotated the heatsink.

My temps are way better tower to CPU socket rather than tower to PCI-E.
