@tiborrr,
I am thinking of my AMD stock HSF for vid card cooler as well, and got wonder how you managed to sit it on the vid card. Can you give some more pictures and hopefully get some instruction?

Thank you,

**squidmaster** · 06-15-2007, 08:33 PM

That HS on the graphics card looks wayyyy to heavy.
Are you sure it's safe? I would add some kinda support or something.

My new HR-01 arrived today

. I've sent my Ultra-120 eXtreme back to the shop, because it was too convex.

Tomorrow it will be mount on my new DFI 680i LT Board

Stock Abit OTES Chipset cooling - AS5 (May lap the contact plate, add AS5 Epoxy to the plate\heatpipe connection)

Mods:
-Placed Plexiglass in bottom and side vents to prevent noise and dust buildup.
-Added aluminum rail onto ETX hole mounts, Used for cable management.
-Added holes in Motherboard for cables
-Painted Interior with textured black paint, texture is like 800 Grit sandpaper.

All fans are 5v / 7v
Its VERY quiet. I'm ~1 Meter away from it right now, And I can only hear my HD clicking every so often.

Hey man, Your CPU fan puling air, he need to push !

Here's some pics from my latest build.

I know...what's with the Thermaltake?

**Xcel** · 06-22-2007, 02:20 AM

I put my old system back together, ready to donate it to a friend. Too bad I had lost the clip for my cpu heatsink but I just fastened it with screws right through the cooler instead, same thing with the video card.
The cpu & gpu cooler make excellent contact

Nice build you got there!

WELCOME TO XS!!!!!

**Tommy_Hewitt** · 06-22-2007, 05:05 AM

New board arrived 2 days ago

**cyberspyder** · 06-22-2007, 05:47 AM

IMO, why can't you put your X1900 (?) in the second PCI-E slot? This would allow for the 'reverse' mounting of the HR-03, thus improving temps (since heat rises). It would also provide airflow to the DFI NB cooler. Just my .02

well knowing motherboard it will probably not detect it or some stupid thing like that, but if it works fine then i agree i would do the same and it would mean less stress of weight on card.

**Tommy_Hewitt** · 06-22-2007, 07:37 AM

I don't like the reverse mounting, because then there is no airflow for the RAMs and the PWMs. The temps are very good at the VGA and the NB so there's no need to change anything

Man, you've got aftermarket cooling on just about everything; that's sweet.

**Tommy_Hewitt** · 06-22-2007, 11:03 PM

Hehe, thanks

Unfortunatly a HR-05 doesn't fit on this board

. The same problem with the HR-09, but I hope that Thermalright will release the version for the DFI and ABIT boards soon

**Ar3s** · 06-23-2007, 01:35 AM

Tommy, does that HR-01's Fan Duct actually help anything ?

**Tommy_Hewitt** · 06-23-2007, 01:38 AM

I don't have the fan duct, so I cant tell you if it helps

**LuckyNV** · 06-23-2007, 03:37 AM

how much did the S1 VRM heatsink help with temps?

**deepsilver** · 06-23-2007, 03:43 AM

maybe the last pictures of my opteron-system.

**Tommy_Hewitt** · 06-23-2007, 03:44 AM

@LuckyNV: With the stock heatsink I had 100° and massiv graphic failures. Now I only have about 80-90° without an airflow

BTW, I had to cut a litte corrie to mount my HR-07 on my DFI 680i, because the condis are too close to the slots

. But I think I've done it well

They told me that they were in the process of developing a DFI/Abit/eVGA-compatible MOSFET coolers---I just hope that it comes out relatively fast.
