mosfets.. the ones with the silver heatsink on the side of the CPU socket area

just direct a fan over that area and it should be fine..

and jesus.. u have a nice rig there drooool

get one more GTX and Dell 2405FPW

don't need to upgrade for a while already lol

lol 24"?

get the 30

but really.. i'd like to see your rig when i'm back there

any chance? i promise i won't overclock your system for u (don't bet on this)

not really.. the actual temps are not reported.. the temp probe is placed on the side .. the small yellow dot if u can see there near the heatsinks.. so it's actually the temp of the surrounding area of the mosfet.. not directly @ the mosfet

below the heatsink?

then it's not the mosfet as well heh

the heatsink is not as hot as the mosfet itself

nah.. if i'm not mistaken mosfets are the hottest @ the top.. (Correct me if i'm wrong)

ask some of the electrical engineering student or something..

mine temp (in ITE) never went past 50 cause i have a fan blowing @ it all the time.. but i'm thinking it will be around 60-70c..

and it depends on whether u have the jp17 jumper on 2 and 3 position

thanks for clearing that up..

i'm talking about the real temps.. not the limit of the mosfet.. i know they go really high

nah .. i reckon it's on topic.. it's DFI talk ay mods?

i'm gonna change the chipset cooler soon.. to the iceberg pro.. it fits afaik

i changed the thermal paste on mine and it runs pretty cool.. just that mine is making some ticking sound now so i have no choice but to change it soon..

doesn't really bother me (the ticking sound) but i can try whether it runs cooler as well on the new cooler..

lol mosfet waterblock.. IMO it's a waste of money and extra uncessary loop in the WC system

my chipset never hit past 50-51c underload.. i run it 100% all the time.. as for the limit.. i'm not sure.. but to me i won't let it go > 55-58c

launch and on sale is different unless they choose to implement launch + ship on the same date e.g. 7800gtx

for people with interest for this board look @ the new connectors lol.. more will need new psu now.. no shortcuts

it'll be 300AUD here.. we have the price already here

pre-orders are being taken as well as the crossfire board..

it'll be shipped together afaik

just want to point out gengstapo's problem

DFI NF4 have problems running Corsair ram

i've had 3 corsair UTT 3200C2v1.5 and only 1 pair did well.. the other 2 won't do 2-2-2-5 at all and i've seen a lot of cases where 4400C25 and 3200xl won't run on the board and the users had to change their ram to run their system..

just something for you guys to watch out before jumping on to purchase new memory

just try to avoid value ram and corsair at the moment..

i'm hoping the sli-dr expert will solve the corsair problem..

i'm not sure about geil but alot had good experiences with them.. i can't tell u cause i haven't tried them myself..

i have a vantec iceberg pro coming today.. will let u know

apparently iceberg4 non pro will fit with a small mod..

i got a 4 pro.. but i remember seeing people fitting it in..

i'll try it anyway.. it looks a bit too big

lol iceberg 4 pro too big

oh well.. i'll order the iceberg 4 now.. hopefully will get it tomorrow and try it tomorrow

iceberg 4 non pro definitely fits

just wondering where to put this iceberg 4 pro now lol
