custom Xigmatek S1283 AMD mounting bracket

[tbone8ty]

backplate issue



fixed!



mounted: it doesnt cover the first DIMM slot! horrah!






















whoa close call!



looks pretty sexy



i used thermalright paste. i wanted to try it out compared to the antec formula 5 paste i was using.

I haven't done any testing yet but its idling at 32C right now, which is alot better than the zalman 8700 which idled at like 40C

over all im very please with this bracket, i feel more comfortable being able to tighten down the heatsink with screws than using the stock AMD clip.

plus now that it doesn't cover my DIMM slots i can upgrade my ram by buying another 2 x 1gb kit instead of having to buy a 2 x 2gb kit

Woot!
