10 heatpipe xp120

[fordf250]

I was able to solder two xp120s into 1. First I tried to just glue them together with arctic alumina thermal glue but the temps were no better than one xp120.Then i got an acetalyne plumbers torch (not oxy-acet) and was able to separate everything.Two propane plumbers torches could not give enough heat.The new xp has the original 5 heat pipes on the bottom, the 2 outside upper pipes soldered beside the first 5 to the base and the last 3 uppers soldered on topof the first 5.That gives me 7 pipes soldered on the base and 3 just above without the the second base.I will pull it out later and get some pics of the finished product but iI have to clean it up a bit, the torch left it very ugly.

This case has a 120mm exhaust fan that almost lined up pefectly for the upright half ,I will bend it a little more whenit comes out.

After the AS5 settled my temps are 51-56C at 265(4.24Ghz) and 1.6v.I tried 270(4.32Ghz) and 1.65V but it started to throttle after a half hour of dual prime95,then one prime failed.Temps with one prime95 never get to 50C.

Running ut2004 for an hour temps never got above 44C.

The last picture is a thermaltake silent tower with a silverstone nitrogen soldered to it.I made this before you could mount an xp120 to the 775s.The temps were the same as an xp120 but its realy heavy.
