Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[eternal_fantasy]

i literally replaced the whole HS assembly with a p5b deluxe SB heatsink, and a $5 copper random HS plus fan on the NB, and my temps are the same as before (47C at 1.7V) but i need a better NB HS, trouble is their mounting holes are odd distance - ~62mm and my existing thermaltake HSF doesnt have that mounting gear

Have a look at THIS post for some examples of what to fit on the RE if you remove the stock cooling.

Any heatsink/waterblocks designed for the maximus/rampage formula/P5E3 will be able to fit on the Rampage Extreme NB. Something like Noctua NC-U6 Dual Heatpipe Northbridge Cooler will work very well.

I'm finding it hard to believe you are able to keep your NB at 47C when simply aircooling it with stock cooling... and at 1.7V no less. I watercooled using the Fusion block and at 1.5V the NB was at 56C under load. Thats after I reapplied the thermal paste to the NB with MX-2. Must be some cool room you're running it in.
