cpuz Posted May 4, 2005 did you try a newer bios? if it is shipping bios, that can show higher temps. I believe i'm using 10/16 on the ball n chains puter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Proton Posted May 7, 2005 I have installed a Vantec ICEBERG4 VGA cooler on mine. The pins don't line up, but I used soem Artic Alumina thermal adhesice. I also had to saw out a bit of the copper base to allow a couple of raised components room, but it was pretty easy. The blue LED looks cool too!

nSaNe Posted May 7, 2005 i took my HS off applied AS5 and stuck it back on.. and then i stuck a small 50x50 or 40x40 whatever size the HS is fan.. on it with hotglue in the 4 corners and it never gets hot.. it didnt help me gain 1 mhz but i sure is alot cooler.. and prolly will help the board live longer.. if i dont kill it first.
