EK ASUS 3 & ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[Pete]

LOTS AND LOTS OF PHOTOS (24)! GO GET A BEER OR COFFIE AS THEY LOAD!

Well this is very very intresting! I advise caution when removing the NB unit, see my photos as to why!

The hole spacings

X38 hole spacing is 64.43mm exactly

ICH9R SB is 55.64mm

Mosfet is 84.71mm

The EK ASUS 3 mosfet block does fit. Admitly only on the one side, the right hand side. To fit the mosfet block on the back near the IO's it's going to need a small mod as 2 caps next to the ATX 12v block it. If you look on the EK ASUS 3 you will see it had 2 sections on one side where it has been ground/filled/machined flat slightly. It over hangs the caps or chokes, well it's need to do so on the rear IO mosfet. 1/1.5mm i think is all i need, 5 mins with a good file. Maybe Eddy can adjst his drawing for the next batch he makes of these.

















































Well there ya go, hope this helps. I'm off to mod my mosfet block and get that fitted.

I need to prise the X38 IHS off the STOCK HSF, so i've got a naked X38 NB and a X38 IHS keyring thing to go with my X6800 IHS keyring
