Right, managed to get a chance to put 3rd party cooling on this board! I think this was mentioned by someone else between my last post about SB cooling and now, but I can confirm that the Enzotech will not fit - screws dont line up:
Not to be beaten, ive used a mix of AS5 and AS Adhesive in a square in the centre, surrounded by MX2 (so hopefully I can get it off again! LOL) ive used the old AS5/Adhesive mix trick a few times and not had a prob.
Anyway... here's my board as it stands:
Quick quetion - How important is it to cool the chips on the far side of the NB Power regs? i.e the ones that would be underneath the two ramsinks furthest away from the NB? Im using some thermal tape on the ramsinks which is working fine on all the others, but because of lack of surface area, those two keep falling off - I have an 80mm fan blowing over that area atm to be on the safe side.
How have u guys got your ramsinks on there? Used adhesive? I wasnt sure on such small chips that they would survive when u removed the ramsinks again when using adhesive.
