told you very messy cable management.

However the yate 140mm works fine:

[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'?

He's being extreme I think

Tiro,

Can I send you a couple of boards for 'treatment' ? one slot is ok

[tiro_uspsss]

i'd say he's succeeded!

'treatment' eh?


umm... r u serious? - I'd be ok if u were

[NaeKuh]

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.

He's being extreme I think

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.

if u are being serious, please read post #135 of the thread in my sig (adding PCI slot) - Mr NaeKuh has asked me the same question, so the same 'rules' apply for u sir!

[s0lid]

Well have u guys received your mobos and sinks ?

[Martijn]

Nope... Give Dave the time he needs, he's getting older as well

[WesM63]

I got my 'sinks the other day. Dave shipped mine out the same time he shipped the other stuff. Then again, I'm only a few states away.

I just noticed ur sig - how'd u get the DDR2-667 to work?? I thought the mobo would only work with DDR2-400

Wiseass!

Actually no, I had 4 packages set to mail last Monday. Yours,one to Naekuh, one to MysticMerlin and the package of boards,etc to jaco.
I have them all inside the front door here, grab them and then realise I forgot to include 2 cpu's and 3 tubes of TIM so I let that package here because it was 4pm and I was pushing time for the PO.
The big package headed to Jaco Wednesday.

Edit: Just grabbed this:
Label/Receipt Number: CP88 2442 525U S<-Thats the customs # that you can use to track with.
Status: International Dispatch

Your item left the United States from FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099 at 12:51 PM on September 26, 2008. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

I'm interested too, I tried some DDR2-533 ECC REG and no go..beeped a memory error.

Has anyone experience with this mainboard?

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..

You do nice work, no question there.
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!

firstly:

secondly: I've been meaning to ask MM about the Super-Micro line-up of sossy mobos too - SM has 2-3 diff models iirc

2 models of the sossaman board from SM and they are essentially the same.
One has onboard SCSI I think..Very alike but the SM board and the Tyan boards for the sossamans use those tiny HS that newegg shows for sossamans. They look like NB chipset sinks they are so small.

look at the measurements,,50mmx50mm

just visiting the SM website - 2 mobos it is, one with SCSI ... aside from the puny NB heatsink, I wonder how they are overall .. I've decided to 'watch' that mobo that test.it linked

Yes, but they are in Germany and I am in New Hampshire in the US.
Shipping would be the killer especially when I can drive 19 miles and buy the Intel board for $20.00

Yes, the heat sink are "standard" Socket 479 heatsink.

Yea, cute little buggers aren't they but they work..31w cpu's don't need much.

A pleasure to meet you and welcome to XS!
