NF4 LanParty - initial build w/pictures


Recommended Posts

ok just a question i should remove the thermal pad on the stock hsf if im going to use it and AS5 correct? any suggestions on how?

i use the edge of my driver's license or a credit card to get the thick stuff off, then I use a paper towel or lint-free cloth and some 100% acetone to really clean it, then 90% or better alcohol to finish the cleaning

Sorry if this has been answered already. Getting tired with this build tonight. Anyway do we need to keep these power connectors connected after the initial build ? " plug in the 4-pin molex connection and the 4-pin floppy connection." on MB

I could sure the molex on a CD drive

The DFI boards will boot and function without all 4 power connections. With all 4 connected there is improved power "balance" and added stability. This is the work of the DFI engineers and I choose to believe that they might just know what they are doing. You guys sure don't have to do so; it's your call.
