I like that setup with the 140mm fan myself.. and yes, the NB and SB do get hot but a tiny chipset fan will cool them..Originally Posted by tiro_uspsss
dang thats xtreme!
I like how the 140mm blows on the mosfets as well
is the fan on the NB cooler needed? surely it dont run that hot? or u just being 'xtreme'?
You do nice work, no question there.well the main concern was the dead spot on the fan.
As you can see the dead spot is nowhere near the middle of the sink. That solution i feel is THE BEST for our sammys. Unless your going h2o.
Now to find that other koolance block.
actually it does get hot. Both my sinks have some form of fan on it. The top one uses a 80mm, the bottom one has the lianli 120mm blow out on the side.
Respect the system!
Oh and yes i aftermarketed the entire board:
And yeah i took a lot of OMG from dave.
And a phone call even.
But im still alive
Luckly no finger pulling.
i think i spent more money on cooling the board then the board itself.
Another option that will effectively cool the two heatsinks is a 120mm to 80mm plastic adapter with the 120mm side on the HS in a diamond pattern
Then a cheapo 80mm fan will cool both HS and with the overhang of the adapter on the left and right sides will also cool the mofsets and NB
Hi,
I looked at that board but the cheapest I could find it in the US was $339.00
It also uses a tiny heatsink different from the ones used in the pictures above.
Should be a good board and good luck to you grabbing that cheap!
