RedRob look at this link and see what you think... :) your mobo but the E series. topview... if NOT the topview then go to it. ;) You see the "holes" in the heatsink? Those are the "connectors" and you'll have to remove them from other side of the mobo.. so a removal of your heatsink will have to happen for the replacement. :) I don't know of anyone that has "modded" your mobo but I'm sure you can find it on the WWW. ;) hth....

then by installing chipset fans, it lowered it another 7 or 8c for nearly a 15c total.
I used to disassemble the passive heat sinks and applied AS5 as well but some of the new passive coolers have gotten better. I find that a well placed quality chipset fan can cool by as much as 8 to 12 c or more.

right, i have cranked my FBS to 400, and am running my RAM 3:4 so its goign at 533 (1066) effective, and its rated at 444 12 (2.1v) at 800 effective. i have it now at 555 15 (2.2) and 1066MHz effective. talk about some GOOOD clocks :)
hopefully i can push both CPU and RAM more.
atm CPu is at 400x8 (3.2 GHz) at 1.4V idleing about 35, loading (OCCT) about 61C and this is at my E2140 having a 100% OC now.
I dont like taking about my genital area in front of other guys. lol
Anyway, has anyone, to date, ever used those mosfet coolers? I mean we all consider buying them, but we never get around to it.

oh yea my CPU fan right now is at 1480 rpms
That sounds about right. I think the cooler may not have been quite flush or the old thermal past wasn't done well enough before. No thermal paste will make that much difference. I doubt seriously, If from the worst to the best that there's as much as 4-5C difference! Maybe some of the real old Thermal grease supplied with some very cheap coolers.

but....Shaffaaf tells the truth! hehe

all this talk about NB fans got me thinking....how would i be able to place a NB fan on the 680i?
here's a pic of the mobo..>http://www.maxitmag.com/images/stories/reviews/asus/striker/asus-striker-big.jpg
the heatsink is on a slope...like a small hill...so how am i gonna put a fan on it and keep it on!?
lol...i have almost all sizes of fans from 40mm to 120mm so doing a "check-and-see" won't be too difficult as long as i have a system for mounting the fan...
thanks,

Now you've got me confused. Are the fans for the long and thin or are they for the long and thick? If for the long and thick, how would you mount them?

im,
you should have gotten at least one optional fan with your mobo. they recommend only using it/them with water cooling but you could try one one the long, thin and tall NB heatsink.
nobody listens but I keep telling everybody, reseating your heatsinks with AS5 or equivalent alone will improve temps. be sure to remove all the junk oem thermal paste and clean surfaces thoroughly. been there done that. the oem thermal paste sucks and in most cases doesn't even contact but a portion of the heatsink and chip which in turn keeps the heatsik from contacting a good portion of the chip thus leaving an air gap.
it varys from mobo to mobo but all the ones I have modded had this problem to some degree. for referance, Doc TY (for those who have been here long enough to know who he is) is who 1st introduced me to mobo modding and I've done it to all my mobos ever since. if my credability is not good enough, maybe his is.

i agree with you 100% Mort about the heatsink thing....all heatsinks i have removed off of NBs have had the thermal paste either dried up and brittle or have a gap as you stated....but i have yet to do this with my striker as i though such a high priced mobo (i paid 350 for it and i even bought 2 at the same time!) would have some high quality thermal paste already underneath...i will pull my mobo out tomorrow and check tho...
i also have some pics of my system for you all to Njoy...
happy viewing!

nice setup but why are you using such a small fan in the rear of the case? I would be using the largest fan allowable.

i will see what i can do...
i should have sum 120mm LED fans somewhere around here
lol, i have a bunch of fans from different pc builds and pulls from computers that i threw away...(i used to love collecting all the fans i could get my hands on, hehe)
i should really make a box of all of them....right now, they are scattered all around (storage, garage, room, drawers, closet, etc)

how do i know what the NB temperature is? is MCP the NB temperature?
thanks,

I've always used the vertical line method since using a dual core CPU...
Gm: beware - your board has the chipset and VRM heatsinks linked by a heatpipe doesn't it? If you go third party cooling, you'll need a VRM sink too - I have the same issue, so haven't bothered with a thirdparty cooler. Not going over 40 degrees on the chipset though, I don't really think it's necessary for me.
im: Like the tags, agree on the rear 80mm fan! For a system that powerful that's shocking... lol
What brand is your PSU? I don't recognise it. To be running two 8800s it can't be that bad...

sorry bout the early departure lastnight. the wife was a calling. ;)
guess here is a big burden of proof that the ambient temp in a room does matter.
got kinda cool here lastnight nice cool front came through be here for a couple days. we left the windows open and ceiling fans on. i was down right cold myself was 64f in here. these are the temps i just took with everest.
just as i took the snagit shot the coretemps were 46c each. the lowest ive had
i think i might try a couple of those 40mm fans. now will they fit on the small SB also or should i look into the enzotech copper tubes?
now for another question going away from the cooling we've been talking about.
im thinking of OCing my GPU. what all is involved in doing that?

Overclocking a GPU is even simpler than overclocking a CPU, but doesn't net you anywhere near as big gains. ATITool and Rivatuner are typically the tools of choice for it. When overclocking the GPU you look for instability like a CPU, when overclocking the memory on a GPU, look for graphical corruption in 3D images.

imran, my PSU is also chrome plated, (and simply the best peice of hardware i have ever owned, work its weight in gold (and it weighs ALOT) and was £100 delivered for it:
Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 650W
BTW i got my E2140 at 400FBS, perfectly working at 3.2GHz, thats a 100% OC. its gor 1.4 on Vcore and 1.4 on NB. time to tweak PLL and GTL.
oh and my RAM is now runnign at 1066 (from its 800MHz its rated to run at, with only 0.1 more Vs and loose timings from 444 12 to 555 15.
maybe ill try and take it to 3.3 before i tweak more settings, and my load temps havent risen above 59C, with orthos and OCCT.
IMRAN, SORT YOUR CABLES OUT!
creaky, i am sorry, wont happen again :D
RUSS, HAHAHAHAHAHA, (i cant comment back, but it would have been dirty (on my behalf) HAHA LOL! )
BTW (creaky notice my On Topic before, so can i please put this on?)
