[18th Anniversary] Asus Black Pearl - P5k-Premium Testing Report

[sesdave]

You mean I don't need the HR-05 IFX and the two HR-09 type 2 on the NB and mosfets?

I'm planning to overclock my Q6600 and RAM at a high FSB, so wondering if the NB and mosfets won't heat too much with stock cooler.

At worst, I'll cut the Zalman in height and stick it on the SB

The heatsink supplied as standard is suffiecient - SB can only raise it to 1.2v and it doesnt get hot. Better mofsets and NB HS wont do any harm but I think you will find that all on this thread are attempting or are running high FSB on this MB and mainly using the stock cooling setup - reseating with better quality thermal paste is about all I would do and maybe stick a 40mm fan on top of the NB. I didnt bother though - It overclocks very nicely with the stock setup and temps are fine.
