Wouldn't this work better then Abit's Stock Heatsinks?
imo the swiftech sinks would be inadequate-plus you really want fans blowing on the nb and the mosfet hs,as ace a rues guide shows.i have a thin 60mm fan mounted with zipties to the legs of the ultra120,and 2 fans mounted on the nb.
1 is screwed into nb,other is mounted using a long mb type standoff,then also screwed into a hole on the 120mm fan
temps are 32 idle-mosfets nb 30 idle
cpu temp idle is anywhere from 28-34 depending of course on room temps,and that is unlapped
