WC DFI UT x58

[Factotum]

Hi guys. What do you think about WC of DFI UT x58-T3e8?
My EK NB MAX suited to NB
My MCW30 suited on SB.
What can be put on VRM?
thanks

You can remove the upper radiator from the north and install WB instead
MOBO W/O upper rad on NB:


I set on NB EK NB S-Max - this 100% compatible
NB's WB to help cool mosfet via heat pipes

NB compatibility list:
EK-NB S-MAX
EK-NB S-MAX Acetal /checked by me/
EK-NB/SB 5 /NOT CHECKED/
EK-NB/SB 5 - Acetal /NOT CHECKED/
MCW30 /checked by Praz/ checked by msgclb/

SB compatibility list:
EK-NB/SB 6 /NOT CHECKED/
EK-NB/SB 6 - Acetal /NOT CHECKED/

PWM compatibility list:
Watercool HEATKILLER SW-16 /CHECKED by me/ this 100% compatible!!!
MIPS MCH149 V1 - NOT compatible /Checked by rioja/

EK-Mosfet DFI UT /NOT CHECKED/
EK-Mosfet DFI UT - Acetal /NOT CHECKED/

WB PWM - Watercool SW-16 or MIPS?

correct me if i am wrong

I am not sure about those blocks but they seem fine. I know MIPS makes a full mobo set if you want to WC everything. I am not sure on the UT version but I know the DK has the ability to remove the the heatsink on the NB and still keep the stock cooling for everything else. If the UT version can do that on the SB you should be fine.

I have been eyeballing the MIPS blocks for my DFI UT X58 but it will have to wait for now. Whatever you go with, please put in some pics

[Grinch]

not to sure what blocks actually fit this board

[SoulsCollective]

MIPS makes a set for the DFI board? I just had a look on their site, but couldn't find anything for the X58 LP series, only X48 - are the blocks compatible?

[faster3200]

I remember reading that the V.2 DFI set was compatible with the X58 board. The set I see on their website doesn't look like the same design for the mosfet coolers so it might be V.1 which won't work without modding the mounting for the mosfet. Other than the mosfet the other blocks are compatible

You need:
1 x MCH2033 Northbridge Freezer inkl. 2 Distanzringe
1 x MCH2013 Southbridge Freezer inkl. 2 Distanzringe
1 x MCH2149 Mosfet Freezer inkl. 2 Distanzringe (DFI LANPARTY UT X58-T3eH8 >> need REV. 2)

Does anyone have these blocks and can measure hole spacing for me? I'd love to be able to just get the MOSFET block and reuse my current EK NB/SB 5. Southbridge can be air-cooled on its own, as always.

u wouldent want to liquid cool an intel SB u will just make it hotter, the EK SB sink works way better for its thermal load. and i would suggest mcw30 ont eh NB since its the least restrictive and the NB isnt that high wattage on the x58. then the pwm is the same as every other dfi 8 phase

thx, where buy this?

Are these blocks available in the US?

1 x MCH2033 Northbridge Freezer with 2 spacers
1 x MCH2013 Southbridge Freezer with 2 spacers
1 x MCH2149 Mosfet Freezer with 2 spacers (DFI Lanparty UT X58-T3eH8>> need REV. 2)

dont liquid the SB, the only use like 7W and will get hotter when liquid cooled, thats only need on NV chipsest and some amd but not for the intel south bridge

use one of thees

[rioja]

why do u suggest to use even active aircooling for sb?
mcw-30 is not too restrictive and might do it job a far more effective than the enzo
especially when you have all other parts watercooled, mcw-30 on sb would be very suitable

[zanzabar]

some people like active i would get the passive but if u have xfire or sli and u are covering the sb then the active can be useful. the SB will get heated up by the liquid so its pointless to cool it and its more restriction that u dont need. on the intel platform the SB is a glorified basic raid controller

[Eddie3dfx]

I don't know about the new x58, but the old x38 tr2 measures as follows.

58.7mm for sb and 61.49mm for nb.

My EK NB MAX suited to NB
My MCW30 suited on SB.

can you post your mobo with that block mate ? do MCW30 also fit in the NB ?

thx..

[SoulsCollective]

Doing some more reading, I'm now planning to reuse my EK NB/SB 5 block and just whack it on top of the NB plate, leaving the heatpipe system in place for SB and MOSFETs. According to Eddy it should fit, given that the spacing is the same as the X48 board.

first post updated

[SoulsCollective]

Factotum, I should point out that your links in your OP and the picture used both refer to the LP DK X58 T3EH6, not the LP UT X58 T3EH8 - the UT board has the SB heatsink linked to the NB with heatpipery and a much larger PWM heatsink. May want to fix that.

I don't have pictures of UT, but it's correct for LP UT X58 T3EH8, checked

[anubis_is_evil]

from the look of PWM heatsink..i guess PWM block(EK/Heatkiller) that you listed will not fit....it will work i presume, but the mounting will be different...

here is picture of the heatsink mounting.....right pic is the heatsink mounting...left is the pic of backside motherboard showing heatsink is mounted(i guess)...EK/Heatkiller mosfet block are created with straight mounting...thats what makes me think they dont fit..

[Six]

Mips Mosfet fit only for:

- DFI LANPARTY UT P35 T2R
- DFI LANPARTY LT P35 T2R
- DFI LANPARTY LT X38 T2R
- DFI LANPARTY UT X38 T3R
- DFI LANPARTY UT X48 T2R
- DFI LANPARTY LT X48 T2R
- DFI LANPARTY UT X58-T3eH8 >> need REV. 2

so u wanna say that nb+sb+pwm could be cooled by only one single waterblock? this is very interesting idea, coz one block is better than three not sure about temps though

i'm gonna migrate from x38 to x58 soon and will check it out

Temps with MCW30 on the Northbridge.
