currently my PWM IC is when full load is around 50 to 54 as i feel is kinda of high for this temperature so i need help how to cool down bcos i already change the board HSF to evercool copper HSF for the board only the chipset temperature is normal around 46-48 which is normal i thinks.

anyway another question are there is 2 5/12V power connector on DFI NF4 ultra-d i only connect 1 of the 5/12V that using 4 pin molex connector but for other one which using FDD 4 pin power connector i didnt connect is it okie??do i need to connect it??

thanks

i didnt cool my PWM IC specifically....i think case ventilation plays a big role in cooling it down tho.... and the FDD 4 pin power shd feed power to the graphic card slot.... better plug in as well as suggested b4 dfi-street.

Lack of ventilation is the main factor of Overheated Component ...

Did you had Your MotherBoard Overcrowed by wires and Cards ?

Make sure the AIR flow freely to every compartment on your MOBO ...

i using ninja heatsink and it block could this be the problem??also i using gigabytes 3d aurora mobo should be not problem for ventilation since all the wire on the right side of the casing, so any more suggestion ???

thanks

just point a 80cm to the PWM heatsink then u can see some slight drop on the temperature...

plus a good ventilation setup will be a bonus

it's more simpler to cool down the PWM than the hotty nforce 4 chipset on dfi mobo..

for the extra molex & floppy connector on board....i din connect it so far no problemo for me running my the system over here..

if i'm not mistaken...it's for power hunger big boys gcard and SLI setup for these additional connectors..

correct me if i'm wrong..huhu

i dont thinks so can put 80cm fan on the pwmic since is on the middle or any way can modifiy to connect the fan??

thanks

Place a 80mm fan anywhere arround the proccesor.You'll see a huge temp drop on PWM,you're on ninja?then it's hardly work since the ninja will cover/block the Ic beside the proccesor slot.You can cut and mod a 4-5mm plexi to hold/place the fan,Hope you got the picture of what i mean.

any picture can show me or u know anyone who can do this mod for the fan??

thanks

Place a fan below your CD drive. It works for me

okie guy thanks for the idea will try to see how....

u r absolutely rite, me myself didnt connect it, makes cable management worse lor

hahaha...mine...
fix double sided tape @9cm fan, put it beside big typhoon heatsink - direct blow to PWM n NF4 Chipset...from outside - like CoolerMaster Stacker 830 already... fan fan fan...

I don't have any now but i can make it for you.I'm far from your place so i think it's not possible.

my PWM IC reading from MBM is only 35 - 40 wo.... and i m using aurora 3d as well...

usually is around 46-49 but primetime is around 50 above so scare ler

wow that is cool how do u do it????im using the ITE to monitor my temp....

i juz changed my case from CM centurion 530 to Aurora 3D n my cpu temp increase 3C from it used to be... huhu

your hsf is running pasive cooling? mine i just try to lower the fan a bit. there's 1 degree drop. but not significant la. i think the ventilation plays an important role lor. cause its really hard to cool the pwn unless you attach a Small and powerful fan blowing directly on to it

Exactly.But a 40mm fan will be useless to cool down the PMW,a 80mm case fan will do grat cooling there,however since he's using ninja,i don't think he can place any fan near the PWM Ic.

just put it like this...


[attachmentid=123523]

hw bout ppl like me using watercooling, cannot stick it to other fan... any suggestion.. btw i just tumpang thread, cause i using tforce series but also same lar, gotto cooldown the pwm, but temp nt shown in the software, lol

instead putting like my way, u can place 12cm (better since low-noise) below the CD-ROM Bay, u get wat i mean?

join this fella's bulk, get ta HR-05 sli

best heat pipe for sli mobo, recomended in dfi street~

dei they are talking bout pwm lah not chipset...neway best way is to clear up the atx cable by bending it as close to the case as possilble the ur case air flow will take care of it...

My PWM IC temperature hovers around 37-40c. Wonder why yours got so high. It should be due to airflow and your case temp.

I'm using an XP-90 on my proc and everytime i tune my Nidec to full speed, the PWM IC temp will decrease by at least 1c.

So i reckon it's an airflow problem u having there. Possibly hot air from the Ninja just gets stucked there.

The main issue is that the Ninja airflow is parallel to the mobo, so there is no secondary airflow from the Ninja to cool the PWM since it all flows straight out the case exhaust or out the PSU. This is a common issue for all tower style heatsinks.

Best method is to somehow position a small fan to provide airflow to the PWMs. I plan to do this on my own system with some 40mm Sunon Maglevs, but haven't figured out a nice neat way of mounting them yet.

Other way is to create a duct, but this will take alot more work.

Oic...haven't used any tower based HSF, now i get it.
So the easiest way for TS will be the one to stick an 80mm or 120mm fan behind the CD-Rom.

XP-90 and XP-120 are exceptionally good at cooling the PWM which is near the proc because the fan will also blow on it. However, you don't have to worry so much about the PWM overheating, it can safely take up to 65C. The PWM actually doesn't generate that much heat (1/5 of the processor) even a slow 80mm fan will drop temps to below 50C (for AMD only, intel systems take up more power).

u can mod fan abit..lastime i use 4cm fan..mount it on pwm heatsink..hehe skru it there will help u coll down ur temp of pwm

mfcm, did u change the chipset cooler before? mine now is quite high. but pwm is okay..

just make sure the air flow in your casing is enough to cool your mobo...good air ventilation will blow that hot air air.. agreed..just point a fan to the IC...or maybe can add some RAM heatsink on that IC..huhu..

nope..didnt change the chipset cooler..jus tie fan on it will help u cool down the pwm even my NB cooler for my commando also i tie a fan..hehe its cool down it nicely
