Well, there is always HR-05SLI out there which are able to solve this problem of clashing with the GC..

Seem to me the hr-05sli would clash with the my CNPS9500

Maybe i shud get 1 to try out, btw, where can i get hr-05sli in malaysia?

From bulk orders i guess, as i cant seem to find them anywhere in LYP yet..

PM Hwoarang45 for it ..... he can bring it but have to wait a bit..

Will NC-U6 fit in my motherboard if i setup SLI?

if you are not using long GC and big GC cooler, it should not be a problem as its kinda flexible..

dunno what happen...

my dfi chipset installed U6, at first the temp 35'c-36'c, few days later then up to 37'c and now 38'c pulak...

Mine is still ok, currently running at about 39c instead of the usual 46c on stock cooler..But yea, its definitely hotter than when i previously installed it which is at about 34-35c

Did u add a fan on that heatsink?

during the temp is 35C-36C, the weather is hot or not...maybe now the weather hot, so it will up abit as the air taken in will be a bit hotter... and how about the air flow of your casing... could be another factor too

ANy recommendation for cheap and good chipset cooler?I am looking for a new southbridge cooler for my mobo and dont really have any idea on which to get..The condition is, it must be square at the bottom as there are some capasitors that are very near to the chipset which is blocking..

I am actually looking into these from Zalman for a cheap solution but is there anything better and cheaper?





I wanted to reuse my Zalman NBF47 but the base is square and i dont wanna risk it not covering fully of my southbridge..

IMO, the gold one is better, as it'll be easy to fix a fan on top of it compared to the blue one.

Icic, thanks for the idea. But i think i would really run it passively if possible.Cause if i wana run it with fan, i would add the fan directly to my current sb cooler..hm..Just wondering would it be sufficient.

The blue is the 1 i currently using, quite hot on my expert
And the gold one very rare, hard to find in LYP @.@

Hey guys, wanna ask how do i check my northbridge temp? i'm in GA-M55SLI-S4 sucky mobo, but since i bought it i gotta live with it lol

i only see this on my everest


wat is that Aux lol

can i know wat software can test chipset temperature??

Speedfan

Everest

wat is aux , hd0, core in speedfan software??
