TheSmJ said Well my mosfets don’t get very warm at all.... perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
So is the NB cooler on the NF7 really that crummy? I've already replaced the white goop with AS3, and the fan doesn’t seem loud at all.
And as for the SB, could someone please tell me what (passive) heatsink would be best on the sucker (keeping in mind I'm running a FSB of only 213 at the moment)? I don’t really want anything crazy, just something adequate.
Also, a good online source of thermal tape would be handy, as there aren’t any places that sell it locally around here.
The cooler that is on the NB is perfect for the SB with a little Artic Epoxy under it. 213 isn´t bad at all but the board can do more if you want.
This is ram limited now. It does 245 with relaxed timings. Still some R&D to do though.
Well I'd rather not replace the NB cooler at all, just get a passive cooler for the SB.. but if the NB cooler is inadequate (for the NB), then I'll get something else.
Also I'd rather not use epoxy, because I don't want to void my warranty. Could someone please post a link to a website selling good thermal tape? It's not sold locally.
