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

[Nanometer]

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.

Yea, this is on load. I just insulated my whole case with sound proof material, so it might be a little high, it may reach 60 under load but otherwise it's at 52c. They key keeping it cool was removing all the crappy stock compound.

I'll look for some pics.. but i might have deleted them haha




And all cables sleeved by my, it took a long time, but I enjoyed the final product a lot Only thing I didn't sleeve was the psu cables....

Anyways you can sort of see the chipset heatsink in there. The heatpipes posed a fitting issue.. that's why I had to make it a weird mount... but it works great, so I don't care
