ic...that will be great...but I just search for the hr-05 sli from thermalright website and found that the sli one might be too big for my current motherboard where it will block by the cpu cooler or the gc or the ram...

maybe I should buy hr-05 first, then next time change to hr-05 sli and the hr-05 maybe can put on southbridge, hopefully...

???
You've got it wrongly...

If u're using a motherboard that is Intel chipset based motherboard, then the normal HR-05 is the best for the northbridge...

While the southbridge, it's better for you to use the HR-05 SLI...

Why don't u go for RLHH Sidewinder bulk?
It's cheaper than anywhere you can find...

Trust me, that HR-05 and HR-05 SLI from sidewinder bulk is cheap...
Not just cheap, it's too cheap if you're comparing it with overclockers paradise shop price...

[/quote]

emm where is that sidewinder bulk...

cheap if u dont kena tax....which i did...sigh..

oic, so I can buy hr-05 for my northbridge first lor ...my board now is use via chipset...next time I think I will use Intel chipset de...

hehe...great..but I need to save some money first...

You can visit it here or maybe you can click on the link at RLHH sig there...

Just curious...apasal u guys need so power punya chipset cooler?

don no la....
but my chipset cooler now is damm hot....60-70...

Because i love my motherboard...

I don't want it to die because of the northbridge chipset got burn because oc so high, then it got so hot then, burned...

Don't want it to happen liao...

here u go my setup
NB cooled by zalman zm-nbf47(Thanks to ksl ) + 5v high speed blower
SB cooled by pc cooler nb-400cu(Thanks to gary )




nb temp getting better as not hotter as b4,cant measure as i don have thermometer
but too sad my chipset hit higher fsb edi..cant go any further although change cooler

edited:the pc cooler cant fit in nb seriously,i fit it in sb with some bended fins

how'd you get ur hand on those zalman zm-nbf47?

Even the hottest chipset also around ~10W niah. I think in most cases it would be an issue of:

1) Cacing wires all over the place = airflow issue
2) Improper assembly/mounting of the stock cooler.

Rather than the stock sink itself.

Personally I think changing to a huge a$$ aftermarket cooler is more bling rather than anything....or for quietness.

Besides...hardly anybody ever kill their boards from overcooked chipset.

Sniper, oc won't be affected because of hot chipset?

Sorry, newbie here asking for some knowledge...

Obviously if taruh Vmch kau kau... = a hotter chipset lar

But you don't need a HR for this... personally I always just replace the stock thermal crap and at most pop a fan that blows around the area kau tim already.

High temps of course is not good but I still that in most cases here, it's an airflow issue.... having lotsa huge towers is not gonna help.

Sure..it brings the heat upwards but what this also means is there's no air going around the surface of the board...to the even hotter area --> PWM.

For those DS3 crowd... pop a cheapo 40mm fan and whack some AS5 kau tim di

For those heatpiped crowd (like P5B-Dlx) ...just remove the glued on coverings already kau tim.

coolice,

mana u get the zalman? aiseh..wan it so badly..

For capalang casing & capalang psu like mine, this is always an issue...the space is small...the cable is short and not enough for put many fan...

It's not a matter of capalang casing or psu lar...

Cable length issue = http://www.usb-ware.com/power-y-splitter.htm

T:now the psu really issue to me...it is not stable and when I add more fan to it, it become even more unstable...mine only 350w and it is not true power...so what you think...last time I have 400w which come with casing but spoil already...even stable than current one...my fault coz want to buy it cheap (350w)...only RM40 niah...

Edited to add: I just found out that there is no more Enermax FMA 460w sold at lowyat...

i personally recommend thermalright products.. i uses thermalright NB-1 for my n'bridge n thermalright XP90 for my CPU..

I agree with you.PWM area is very hot....I heard my fren he said he paste some heatzink on the area for his mobo and he told me that this method helps....
