Chipset fans?

[Godspeed27]

I am trying to get a chipset fan/ heat sink and was going to go with the evercool, but i don't think i can get it in japan, so can people give me a list of other ones that will work w/ my board? I am going to look but if I can't find the evercool, i have to get something else.

Let me know what you need from the states and maybe I can hook you up. I have a business trip coming up that has me flying through Tokyo... I'll probably stay the night in Shinjuku before moving on. If it's nothing too expensive (like a chipset fan) I doubt I'll get any flack from customs. Let me know.

I use the Thermalright HR-05 with a 60mm fan. This kills 2 of my 5 PCI slots, but I only use 2 anyway.

 

According to the Thermalright site, this is compatible with your board (http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_su...5_socket939.htm).

 

Great little cooler, it cost me about $25 Canadian plus the fan.

Depending on your videocooler, that HR might be a bit big. I know it wouldn't fit into my system, since my videocard is longer than the motherboard is wide, and The custom cooling for the video need a chipset cooler to be no more than 15mm tall, which, makingthe HR05 8x too tall.

I found the evercool here in japan, but it's sold under a diffrent name, but is the same, has the same numbers on the pin clips and the same little lights.

it was kind of a tight fit, but it works.

Ok, a bit off topic but:

I had a dying fan on chipset (surprise!) and I thought to replace chipset cooler with another (now I'm just using another fan @ 5V). What's the EASIEST way to remove that orginal chipset cooler without breaking the mobo/chipset?

 

I tried to remove mine: released those two locking devices @ motherboard as should, but the darn glue (or whatever) was keeping heatsink tightly on chipset. I just couldn't make my self to use any more force. Tried to rotate HS a bit clockwise - no help. Tried to rotate clockwise while pulling that HS up - no help either. :mad:

 

Should I try to heat that HS before trying to remove it or is there any trick for this to make it easier? A bit help, please?

What I did was twist it counter clockwise, no lifting motion at all, then back clockwise until it reached those 3 caps. I did this about 25 times until it could turn 90 degrees, then iwas able to turn it a little faster. The bubblegum holding it on will not damage the core, but I would avoid lifiting or prying since it will flex the board alot. Warming it with a soldering iron or blow dryer would also soften it, but jsut keep twisting back and forth. Once it's off, take a razor or credit card and chisel away the rest of the crap left behind, then away you go.

I used a blow dryer and it came right off, i would do this and heat it up good b/c it also helps get the contact glue off too

Ive been looking, and are there anymore good fanless chipset heatinks out there? :-) mine is not running to hot now...but could be later? ^_^

 

 

 

yeah to get mine off I usually just turn it a few times then slide to to the side w/o lifting it usually slips right off sometimes get a little grease on the mobo. Also if your using arctic#5 for grease....gl hahaha I use it...and after that stuff sets its like quickcrete!

Here's how my EVERCOOL fit with my Zalman VF700/6800U . There is little to no space between the chipset fan and video cooler, but it works well.
