snapilica2003 Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Since the Evercool VC-RE cannot be found anywhere here in Romania, neither the Iceberq i came across this AK-210 chipset cooler from Akasa Some info can be found here: http://extreme64.com/index.php?link=review...210/akasa210_01 Is this chipset a good replacement... and does it fit on the SLI-DR motherboard?

SeanDude05 Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 It looks like it would work, although it may be too tall if you are running your 7600GT in the top PCI-e slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesaonar Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 The dimensions look like it'll fit fine. CFM rating isn't that far off the VC-RE either, so I'd say it'll work ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapilica2003 Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 In case i buy it and it won't fit because of my GPU can i simply move it to the snd slot?... with no other modifications? Also it appears to be very silent.. is it more silent than the vc-re? And also ... in the review it shows: Fan dimensions 40 x 40 x 10.8mm Heat-sink dimensions 38 x 38 x 13 mm does this mean the chipset is 23.8mm tall? ... isn't that a bit much?

Lesaonar Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Oh dang, I didn't add the fan height to the sink height. That's definately going to block the 1st PCI-E slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapilica2003 Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Then i guess it's not good i think i found a shop here that has the Vantec Iceberq 4... and from what i read in the forums it's a great replacement for the chipset cooler. I noticed thare are two models the Iceberq4 and 4 PRO ... witch one would fit? The model# is CCB-A4C ... will this work or i would have to look for the CCB-A4P?

snapilica2003 Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 I reread the forums and it appears that Iceberq CCB-A1C fits .... does CCB-A4C fit too? it's the only one they have here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
z0de Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Have you tried evercools site for Romaian resailers? Evercool in Romania According to that theres one but their site dosent have the vc-re but if you phone/email them enough they may place an order for some.

snapilica2003 Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 They won't order a thing unles they have enough demand... I have to start a movement of people wanting VC-RE's. I did a google search for "VC-RE" and to show only romanian websites.. and the result was: 3 threads in diferent forums about people wanting a vc-re to replace their stock chipset cooler Anyway i did go and bought myself a Vantec Iceberq CCD-A4C ... but it doesn't fit so i talked with the firm that i bought it from and tomorow i will change it with a CCD-A1C ... hopefully that one would fit Any advice on how to mount it on a SLI-DR ... I've read the sticky.. but i was wondering if there is smtg else i should know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapilica2003 Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Okay so i got the Iceberq CCB-A1C ... mounted it.. but now my temp from the chipset rised from 53 to 58 degrees... isn't that a bit dangerous? The problem is that this cooler doen't have a rpm control... so it's either 12V (witch is extremely loud) or 5V (witch is silent but not efficient)... so... im stuck now...
