THunDA Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Just because "everyone does it" doesn't make it right... Seriously though, I was shocked at the roughness of the underside of the fan....it is not a pretty sight. Yea, I agree.. Guess I was just pointing out that its not just DFI... The bottom isnt smooth.. But to be honest with a reseat and as5 it does the job fine.. Ive clocked my rig to many different configurations and never seen the chipset break 50c.. Usually its in the mid to upper 40's when loaded.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyv Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 cant u use a razor blade to spread out the ac5on the chipset ..or does it have to be a thicker amt ..i always use a razor blade on cpu and video card.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylo Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 cant u use a razor blade to spread out the ac5on the chipset ..or does it have to be a thicker amt ..i always use a razor blade on cpu and video card.. You can and should. Like I said, the only difficult is that the epoxy on the sides might come a bit up over the lip of the chip.... And no, it should not be a thicker amount.

neverbehind Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I wonder if any third party product can be a replacement for the stock chipset fan and offers better cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nealh Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 does the Evercool fit without modification? How are thetemps with it where did you buy it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mars Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 does the Evercool fit without modification? How are thetemps with it where did you buy it.... Haven't got one yet. This was just recommended to me... Apparently, the fan is queiter (4000 vs 6000+rpm), the clearance is comparable to the standard HS and the temps are a little lower. This is all hearsay at the moment though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnL Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 I read something over at xtreme systems that was saying theres a spire cooler and the vantec iceberq 4 fit with minimal modification.... let me find those ------ EDIT here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showth...09&page=5&pp=25 Post 106 I might try that with the spire... order it along with my xp-90 next week... I'll be sure to tell everyone how that works out. I'm also going to try out reapplying the tim on the stock cooler for comparison.... Will start that up tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnL Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Before AS5: 49 idle, 56 load.... after AS5: 45 idle, 52 load. Not bad, but I am going to try out a spire cooler I think. Maybe try and rig up a fan feeding it some air too, I dont know yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
