Water cooling the Asus Maximus SE X38

[Talonman]

The SB is bare chip and allot of surface area I might add, which is handy for AS Adhesiveing a heat sinks to it!

The NB has that metal plate we attach our waterblocks to. It's called the IHS. Pete is saying that the IHS is made out of the same material as a CPU, "Nickle plated copper". So just like a CPU, it could be lapped.

The guys are just poping the metal cover on and off of their NB chip.

Anybody have a photo handy of the NB Chip just hanging out in the wind?

I dont follow you here. You all mean that the "chip" it self came out of its socket and then was re-inserted to its socket??

The NB has a metal cover just as does the CPU, a few of 3 in total have been lucky in the fact out IHS on the NB came off so we are left with this (photo below) and it also still works!



Photo has not been tweaked in any way as manny have said
