Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[aln688]

for the MOSFETs, you want BMR-C1s, a single pack should be 8 which is all you will need for those.

for the MOSFETs around the NB, a package of the MOS-C1s should do the trick...it's been a while since i have been under my heatsinks i have on there but the package comes with 10 and i think 8 is all you need.

to be honest, the chokes near the NB don't need heat sinks, but if you wanted to add a second pack of BMR-C1s, a pair of those cover them nicely.

for the SB, the SLF-1 should do the trick.

for the Northbridge, pretty much any NB heat sink will do good. the more cooling power the better. i am just not familiar with the Enzotech lineup to recommend anything.

i honestly can't believe i haven't added an alternative cooling section to the OC Report but will get started on that as soon as i clean a few things up. i have a full Enzotech setup, the same parts i listed above, and will use that as the hardware. here is a photo of my setup with Swiftech MC-14s (basically identical to Enzotech BMR-C1s). i simply cut an MC-14 in half for the MOSFETs near the NB.

MUCH appreciated 3oh6. I WAS going to go with this line-up:

*** Northbridge: Thermalright HR-05/IFX ***


*** Southbridge: Not decided, can't see anything that fits perfectly ***

*** MOSFETS top of board above CPU: Thermalright HR-09 S Type 2 ***


*** MOSFETS left of board next to CPU: Thermalright HR-09 U Type 2 ***


*** MOSFETS & Chokes near Northbridge: Enzotech BMR-C1 ***


*** MOSFETS & Chokes near Northbridge: Enzotech MOS-C1 ***


I do like your idea of the BMR-C1 heatsinks along the top and left side of the board, very neat and tidy. I sense a sigh of relief to ditching this Asus HPA (Heat Pipe Assembly), that thing was the source of frustration. I'll try to ignore the fact I spent over $400 on it and I'm now throwing parts away.

The SLF-1 Enzotech part, does that sit flush on the SB chip? I read somewhere that it sits to an angle not covering the chip, I can't find that post. So in your opinion is it not worth covering the chokes near the NB? That would be a time saver.

Also I heard it mentioned you tried the Noctua HC-U6 NB cooler, how did it install/perform? I see it is now discontinued. Thanks again.
