zoomee Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 righty then! - finally sorted - took me two weeks like but what the eck This block defo fits on the DFI SLI-DR - I even went to the extent of checking it fits between the high caps on the mainbaord good news.... Couple of points to note: - A)- Make sure you double check the barbs don't leak - had to flush my system 3 times like to finally get them to stop - oh yer - loads of that PFTE tapeh stuff helps B)- Dont tighten the nuts (the ones that hold the block to the motherboard) too much! - when I first set it up - My chipset idled around 50 dergrees C!!!! - Basically - after a re-fit I'd realised i'd tightened the nuts too much and the block wasnt making contact with the core properly.... heres some pics: and finally temps - please note - my system runs one crossflow fan only (apart from the rad fans) - love these temps under load: thanks to www.coolercases.co.uk for the block - been waiting ages for this! :nod: check the following link for more info - temps etc. http://coolercasesuk.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11266#post11266 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GXP345 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Wow...great thread. Somebody has a lot of time and resources on his hands. Impressive. Is the cut-out "gap" on the arctic chipset mod large enough to fit 7800GTX X 2 SLI in between? Thanx, and no.. the cooler on page one I did works with any SLi config Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpman Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 does anyone knows the size of the chipset mounting holes?...i just dont want to take appart my comp to measure it...so HELP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchmo Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 these magnetic-driven chipset fans are supposed to outlast a normal ball-bearing fan. Mine is super quiet inside the case also. At first, I didn't know which fan was making the noise but I figured out it was the mobo fan. The thing sounds like a bloody siren when I start gaming, I kid you not. I'm still reading up on what I'd like to replace it with. I'd love to have passive cooling but I need to beef up my case air flow. Evercool could be an option as well.

GXP345 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 does anyone knows the size of the chipset mounting holes?...i just dont want to take appart my comp to measure it...so HELP! The size of the holes is 3mm. If you look at page 14 I have made a draving that explain the holes. Just added more cooling on my mainboard (see pic) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
