GROUP BUY-MIPS Mosfet Freezer DFI Users Unite!

[rioja]

It's always cool to have a backplate. I plan to buy a Koolance Heat Plate, drill two holes to the extremity so the screws can fit, isolate the metal that will touch the mobo backside and voilá you got yourself a backplate for the mosfet waterblock:

I plan to make it from aluminium piece, which left from my mobo tray after a mod
And use mouse pad as isolation.

Also mosfets might be in different height, so do I need to use more 'thick' thermal compound, to compensate this difference? Will MX-2 be good for it?

And MIPS block covers 2 long details PCL0007 near mosfets, does Watercool block cover it too?

1) Mosfet have the same height (at least is what I can see by naked eye);

2) MX-2 will work just fine;

3) Sadly MIPS mosfet block has a flaw in the project. The extra long cover to touch the CPL's chips are useless and they bring a) unnecessary and unbearable heat to the loop (if you use quadcore), b) uneven surfaces to try to manage (the CPL's are higher then the mosfets so that will be very hard to adjust).

That's another reason we decided to go with Watercool.de instead, they only cover what needs to be cooled: Mosfets.
