X48 chipset block?

[NaeKuh]

the enzo sinks i linked to comes with a thermal sticky pad.
so you just peal and apply.

The reason why i said a nb wont work is if you use really long cards. Like HD4870X2. The block is very long, and also has a backplate! <--- that is whats gona kill you.

you can throw one of these guys on if you want then:

Max Air Flow 12.13CFM
Static Pressure 1.26mmH2O
Sound Level 22.9dB(A)

Thats more then enough for your mosfets.


just ziptie loop the corners and slip them though the fins on your alu sink.

I have a new pack of swiftech BGA sinks with stiky pad. Problem is I have never once been able to use the sticky pads, the ramsinks fall off and can cause shorts.

OHHH, no get the enzo's There so much better. Seriously.

the ones i have they always worked good. Infact one worked so good i yanked the resistor off with it. :[

ruined a 100 dollar board.

i yanked it off thinkn it would come right off, looked down and went WTF wasnt there something there??? Looked behind the sink.

DOE!!!!

Did that to an 8800GT with thermal epoxy mixed 60/40 and weak mosfet...Maybe heatgun + Swiftechs will do it, I'm on a tight budget since I ran out of money hah.

here's what i came up with = MoBo Rampage Formula Rig = FASTslappy
;p

nice work there slappy. THose fatboy barbs sure are nice huh. I'm really impressed with the ones made for the thermochill. At least so far (I have not installed them and have I have a feeling I may need my heat gun to get the 7/16th over them).

I finaly have all my parts, now it's just finding the time to get it together. And of course I leave on vacation next week but I'll be sure to revive the thread when I get back. Gotta test out this new SLR (e520) and lense some how...
Right now it's all pre-mounted for testing before I apply the expensive TC-0098 grease I picked up (thanks martin for your input on this stuff).

So many projects, so little time.

While I made my own plate for the NB, the universal was a perfect fit for the SB. It sounds like the new X48 top is also perfect for the NB, so that's what I would do if I had to do it over again.

Here is mine:

It keeps my NB about 4-5C above ambient (400FSB, 1.34 NB Vcore) which is plenty cool enough and much cooler than my old 680i.

Repeat image on purpose, I love those DD blocks, I think they look so sweet and with my fiezer green it's the bomb, just put those on my blitz.....

Well, I found a bad Memory slot on the MB. I can not pass Intel CPU Burn with memory in the 3rd slot.

I will need to RMA and take everything back apart! Ayone RMAed with DFI? Should I just but that new Biostard MB that is getting crazy FSB's and ditch the idea of using this DFI?

I need to flash back to origional bios, remove the Swiftech ramsinks (3 not shown in the picture I copied martin as much as possible using stuff I already had). Any suggestions for getting the waterblock tape off the MB and where I can buy a new mount or at least tape for the Fuzion V2?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hmm RMA this one and maybe go with some cheap mATX board til you get some kind of feed back. Basically with any mobo you test the hell out of it, especially if you have a DFI mobo since they seem to have more lemons than anyone else. Good luck to you!

Ok new update, the board might not be bad. The second memory slot works, however if I use slots 1 & 3 Intel CPU Burn Fails, event hough I already tested the memory chips individualy. the memory is all paired of course and purchased as a kit. I don't know what to do right now...Pretty much done testing until I get this issue straightened out. Maybe Martin or someone else can run the intel cpu burn on this MB and let me know if it passes with memory in the green slots?
