    High MB temps? Cool your MOSFET`s and SFF R60 chokes

    My MB temperature was way too high after installing and overclocking my dual-core CPU. Under full load the MB reported temps. above 70deg.C.

    After the mod the temperature never come`s above 60deg.C

    The 3-phase power solution on the Ultra-D, SLi and SLi-dr get very much workload with the new dual-cores, and with no airflow over them, they quikly rise to +90deg.C That may very well bee just fine for a short period of time, but in the long run I`m not so sure if the mainboard would survive.

    I`m too lazy to explain in details how every ting was made, so I let the pictures speak for them self.. This mod is mainly for passive cooled systems and people with watercooling (low airflow systems) If you feel asking me a lot of question`s.. well then your probably not skilled enough to do the mod anyways

    The chips marked R60 under the zalman BGA-coolers is the HF-noise filtering that is done through SFF Small Form Factor) R60 chokes, they filter out high Fq noise

    The sinks on the R60 chokes is stock Zalman BGA-type and the large sink`s on the Mosfet`s is from and old trashed PSU. Had to do some cutting and drilling to make them fit, but the whole mod took me 2 hours.
