Anyone using the EK 3a mosfet blocks on this mobo? coz mine didn't come with the O spacers, i'm using EK barbs with the recesed O ring and i do have the spacers to hand if you think i shouls use them?
thanks in advance for your help
Kind Regards
Lloyd
I have north and south bridge and mosfet 3a buy ek with same fittings and no spacers just 0 rings.
Does anyone have a suggestion on a good low profile fan/heatsink for the ME Southbridge chip? I would like to cool it a bit better than putting ramsinks on it. (My fusion block is removed).

I guess this board is dead in the water, there isnt really any riveting posts or input in here of late, and as for q9450 input its basically non existant.
I think I may have made a mistake getting this board.
I don't know that it is a mistake to get this board. Perhaps this board and this CPU combo is a bit limiting for OC'ing. I have a similar setup. I've been prevented from OC'ing my setup due to northbridge cooler leaks. 1st the fusion block leaked and then the Enzotech SNBW waterblock leaked after running fine for 2 weeks. Both problems known to manufacturers.
I've had a hole shot in my schedule by these leeks but if you're still around I may be OC'ing my rig in a week or so.

I got my g0 out and tested it with this board and what a blessing, I can get my ram to run @ 1866 as spec and my fsb is 466 and divider is 266 and its rock solid, I couldnt get anything over 375 fsb stable with my 45nm quad. I am happy with this board now.

I went back for 0904 - I set the same values on 1102 as I got on 0904 (to my QX9650 @ 3,8 GHz for 24/7 ) ... and I got a BSOD on Prime within 5 mins !
Also my CPU-Temp-reading was wrong ! It seems that 0904 ist the only Version which shows my CPU-Temp right !
simri would it be possible for you to mod the 1102 bios for us, with the latest raid roms?
Thanks in advance.
