Yes set it to 100ºC, your temps will show 5ºC higher but are still very good.

[quattro_]

you are right in my screen shoot above Everest temps about 5c higher .

[kill_a_wat]

Np thanks Quattro. And good job on your o/c so far. Also you have one of the better Q9650s i see

[quattro_]

believe me mine is an average batch iv seen much much better ones here at XS .

Hi I have a quad and 4x1gb, And I cant seem to rum memtst without errors above 1600Mhz, above that i get alway the test 5 error between stick 0 and stick 1, allthe other test run fine, the problem that i think is moving blocks between channels.

with 2x1gb i can reach 1900Mhz with my cellshock 1800.

Yes the problem is the 4gb.

Now I'm runing 3.80Ghz, and my mems are at 1425 1.9v 8-7-6-21, 1T

can you post the settings with 2x1gb ram 1900 mhz?

[aln688]

FYI for anyone that's going to try, the Thermalright HR-05 SLI/IFX when used on the SB (Southbridge) on this board will not allow you to install a double wide graphics card. I installed the HR-05 SLI/IFX and realized the screw that goes through from the bottom of the board sticks up tall enough to hit the underside of a graphics card, such as a GTX 280/4870 X2.



...and...



Any suggestions for a SB heatsink? I'm looking at the Enzotech CNB-S1L (fanless), but the spacings on the push-pins don't go straight into the board. What I'm thinking of doing is filing off the "arms" on the CNB-S1L and using 3M 8815 thermal tape to secure the copper heatsink to the SB chip.

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=22980

This tape is the same thermal tape used on Enzotech's BMR-C1 copper MOSFET heatsinks. Performance PC's sells a 2"x2" square of this tape for $2.95. Anyone think this will work, or have any alternative ideas?

Thanks.

[Ozzfest05]

enzotech low profile

[spoof]

Drill a hole and use isolation tape

Just kidding, any low profil cu heatsink will do the trick.

[aln688]

Do you think the 3M 8815 thermal tape will be sufficient to hold the Enzotech CNB-S1L heatsink on the Southbridge chip? I have to say this tape seems very "grippy" with the BMR-C1s I've got. I don't have much confidence in the push-pins, especially when they have to sit at an angle going into the board.

[neo mike]

Why dont you just cut the screws shorter on the top, and use nuts instead of those tall ones that came with the heatsink, come on its a easy fix.

Here's what I did with the other mounting nuts -

RE cooling replace

It's kinda hard to see but I used the J hooks.

enzotech low profile

That's what is on my RE. It doesn't intefear with my Crossfire setup, even when I was using the stock double slot coolers. It keeps the chip at 40c idle and not much more under load. IMO the NB is the chip that matters on this board, and then maybe the mosfets.

Sounds like the CNB-S1L is the answer then. How do you attach the CNB-S1L to your Southbridge? Do you use the push-pins or are you using some other method? My options are thermal tape, push-pins and Artic epoxy.

For the Northbridge (NB), I'm going to use a Noctua NH-U6 fanless. I'll have a medium-speed Panaflo blowing a lot of air into the case sitting at the front of the case. I'll have the same type of fan at the rear withdrawing air out.

It's odd as your board looks very similar to my own, referring to the copper heatsinks at the NB area, the Enzotech MST-81's and NB heatsink. It is a little difficult to see the hooks you used in that photograph.

Also noticed, your Enzotech MST-81's, did you use something other than push-pins to mount them? It looks like you used a similar M3 thumb screw as the HR-05 uses.

[aln688]

Why dont you just cut the screws shorter on the top, and use nuts instead of those tall ones that came with the heatsink, come on its a easy fix.

Good idea and I thought of it, tightening the nuts on both screws would be difficult in addition to the fact the graphics card comes within millimetres of the HR-05 base plate, meaning it will hit the M3 nuts on top.

[rob2k]

Hi Aln688, the hooks should have came with the heatsink like in the middle of the picture below.......

just place the hook end over the fixing brkt and tighten the nuts from the underside of the board. Should save you some cash

Hello Rob2k, Happy New Year! Shouldn't your handle be Rob2kIX? Just joking.

That's odd, I never had hooks in my package and I never had the same brackets are in your picture, I only had a straight bracket and a slightly bent one at either end, which I couldn't use as it wouldn't go over the screws.

I've already ordered the CNB-S1L, but thanks anyway. When I get it I'm going to try and file off the "arms" and make the heatsink a perfect square, then apply the 3M 8815 thermal tape on the back and stick it to the SB.

Certainly a lot of copper on this board now...

i saw that you post new settings with qx9770 can you post your new settings please?

Happy New Year to you too .... thought you had an extended Christmas hols

Guess they must have removed the hooks for cost saving !, the thermal tape should work well but as the SB chip is smaller than the CNS-S1L it might be worth leaving the legs on at first to test the tape or future use on another board. Your build is looking good

please rob2k i need your setting post your new settings i writed a private message in this afterron.

[frank.lopez]

This are 3.8Ghz.
I haven't booted to windows at 1900, I've only runed memtest boot disk, I'm at 1425 becaus I have 4gb, and I can't rum memtest without errors higher than 1600 with 4gb


BIOS 1003, loadline calibration calc error correceted in version 501

at 3.8 e get temps around 63º prime and a high PLL (1,61).

I used brass screws coming up from the bottom. The screws are short and don't go above the top of the fan.

[mrcape]

Yeah I used some EK backplates and some screws from an old gpu pot.

I wish! Christmas goes too quick!

Thanks on the board, I'll post a few photographs after I have everything installed, which should be next Tuesday or Wednesday. I also have to shorten the Panaflo cables, that means getting out my soldering iron and some female pins for the 3-pin plug, then sleeving the cable once done.

I could leave the legs on the Enzotech for now. I read in another forum someone left them on so he could attach a 40mm fan, but I'm aiming for less fans in my system. As a result of using the Noctua NC-U6 Northbridge heatsink, which will be fanless, I upgraded to 86 CFM medium-speed Panaflos front and rear (120x120x38mm) to have more air flowing through the system.

I really like that Noctua U9B CPU heatsink, small and compact, and with the medium-speed Panaflo attached to it (48 CFM), it should perform well. I'm selling the Noctua 92mm fan that came with it.

Just waiting on the Enzotech CNB-S1L, I've already got the Noctua U6. Once the Enzotech arrives I can may file it down, attach the 3M 8815 thermal tape, get the U6 installed and the U9B then the board is ready to be installed in the case.

For case fans, do you use rubber anti-vibration grommets, nylon screws, plastic push-pins, regular steel screws, what exactly? The other item I need to know, is if this board will accept 8GB successfully? Or does my overclock determine how much RAM I can use?

Thanks.

Hi aln688, usually I just use the steel screws that come with the fans but for the front fan on the drive bay I used these which isolate and mount the fan all in one. Others have 8Gb installed which should run fine but the 8Gb will likely control the FSB and CPU overclock - not much use having all that memory and running it below it's rated speed.
