    Awesome

    Mann i love your creativety and having the guts to take the initiative to do this mod. I've been thinking of recycling my old BT in the same way. (The tt store sells these for ten bucks btw)

    Did you use any kind of brazing material?
    If not, how did you keep the heatpipes from melting?

    What stopped me from doing the mod was that i thought that the tubes would rupture and depressurize, ruining them in the process. So to remedy that i was thinking copper and phosphorous brazing rods would work well, but space is a bit limited at my apt. (another abd excuse on my part.) Does anyone know the adverse health affects associated with phosphorous? What kind of solder did you use?
    Aleki- I like how you think!

    I seriously doubt you have to worry about not enough heat. It is simply not possible to cool below ambient with just air, so I don't see how it could cause any problems.

    fragmastermax - Rosen core lead based. Pretty generic stuff found at most electronics repair shops and also available in most anywhere that has plumbing supplies.

    Phosphorous will produce a toxic gas which could make you sick. You will also be limited to only brazing two sides as the pipes will likely rupture with the heat required to braze the heatsink internally (where the heatsinks meet).

    Power5 - ?

    I'd hate to mount that thing, wow.

    Anyways i've decided to let my standards stop.

    I was going to electroplate the fins to the heatpipes using silver (the fins are only pressed on which sucks) but i've decided to just use copper..

    And I thought Coolermaster went heatpipe crazy. Can't wait to see the results though.

    difference between "megaBT"/2x1300rpm/ and zalm9500/max rpm/ is equal only 5*C. But CPU is just A64 3000+ 2500mhz/1.7v.
    So it will be interestingly to look results of "SuperBT" by STEvil.

    it's a matter of capacity utilization. perhaps with an E6600 you won't really notice a difference. with a screaming quad, however, it will be able to actually utilize the huge bulk of metal; then you'll notice a difference.

    thanks for linking my thread biohead! I cant believe two years after i did it someone else finally has!

    Also, awesome project stevil! Looks like a hot setup. I think if i were to do it i would switch the orientation so that the sink that wasn't desoldered/re-soldered. was on the bottom. I always have had the fear that my re-attachment of the pipes wasnt as good as the factory job. Not trying to knock what you did; this is awesome - seeing this and that now i can get big typhoons for $10 might get me back into modding mode.

    Motherboard topside is complete... glued about 24 heatsinks to numerous mosfets and driver ic's...

    Just gotta do the CPU tomorrow and hopefully the motherboard is dry enough I can flip it and do the mosfets on the back.

    Board is complete enough to run (27 custom made heatsinks if you include the northbridge sink, 30 heatsinks total) and the E4300's IHS is being re-attached as seen by the clamp holding it to the cpu in the picture

    PSU should be here tomorrow I hope.

    I have good news and bad news.

    The good news is I got it mounted last night.

    The bad news is the mount was bad and I need to modify the bracket or get longer screws.

    So, by mounting using only two of the screws (twisted the bracket pretty good lol) at stock settings I was doing 25c in the bios at idle with 18c ambient. Took the fan off and it idled at 36c after 2 hours...

    Tossed 1.6v and 3.1ghz at the cpu, 71c idle!!!!! (1.35v 1.8ghz stock)

    All temps read from the bios, i'm not going to bother being accurate with that poor of a mount lol.
