Flucky Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Big Typhoon, nf4 SLI-DR Expert, has any one put these two together, I don’t see how it can work there are a bunch of diodes on the back of the mother board behind the CPU, the H- Brackets that mount this pig will crush them, any ideas, will/can it work, do I need a different mounting kit?

Flucky Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Not sure what you mean, did you not use any thing on the back of the motherboard for support? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoltan 1500 Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 you should have received a couple of cushions with the typhoon, they go on the back under the bracket to protect the motherboard, just dont peel off the backing and you can reuse them. i have used typhoons on expert, sli-dr, and sli-d with no probs.

Flucky Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Thanks guys I got it on, Doh, don’t know why it wasn’t obvious to me in the 1st place. I just got hung up on the brackets and never flipped the instruction sheet over and saw the alternate method. I left the backing support that came with the original 939 socket. Was real easy to install that way, there are 2 sets of instructions for K8 install, this was one of the recommended options. Results… I ran my system 100 percent CPU utilization for 8mins and only hit 45C, I used to hit 59C on the stock cooler. To hit 100% on my dual core I ran prime 95 and Super PI while playing my favorite game Mech Warrior on line all at the same time, I had no detectable lag issues, very nice I am very happy with the results. Now I have some head room in my temp to over clock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
