aaronhines77 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazzhopper Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I had more hassles removing the chipset cooler than I had fitting the Evercool VC-RE. Like most folks have found chipset temp dropped 6 deg C to 40. Very quiet and I am very happy. Should improve further when the Arctic NV5 arrives. I liked you mods and ducting, but up front cost high and neither could I locate an old suitable copper heatsink to cut down. The evercool was a cheap simple solution for me. is that a heatsink on the PWMIC ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiznit Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 still waiting for my evercool to come in, should be any day now. if its still loud then ill cut up an old heatsink i have and go passive. thanks for the diagram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi_M Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Prefering the simpliest solution I took an AMD HSF boxed, cut it down to 60x40mm, drilled the holes for screws & "fine tuned" the fins for better heat dissipation = fins cut to "pins" spreading them a bit to reach acceptable temperatures too - idle/load 40°C/47°C This solution was very cheap (HSF boxed) just spent half a day with this modification.

AirJarhead Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Very Nice Job. Nice Temps too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoraliser Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 ok mine is not as extreme, it was made from a fx5200 heatsink. Temps are 42/47 on idle/load respectively. There is enough clearance for my 7800GTX and would have no trouble with SLI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
