ASUS RAMPAGE II GENE (Retail) : ROG. X58 m-ATX preview

[aln688]

I got the xigmax or whatever its called. i had to mickey mouse the mounting on top of the existing system minus the heatsink, but it works perfect. keeps NB below 55 all the time. Even cooler if I add a fan to the setup.

The Xigmatek N881 "Porter"? Below 55 C is quite an achievement, well done! Is that 55 C under load with Prime95, LinX, etc.? I saw the N881 but wasn't sure if it would fit, so I bought the Noctua U6 instead.

Do you have a picture of the N881 installed? It would be good to see the clearance it allows between that and the graphics card, the N881 has a "lean" on it which could become a problem. Thanks.
