Just wanna ask, if I use TR HR-05 SLI/IFX to replace my stock northbridge heatsink, but without attach a 80mm fan on it, is that good to cool down the northbridge's temperature?

should be sufficient but would not be effective

looking at ur signature a1098113, i see u got blue ice 2...

would u share the before and after temp. on ur NB?

its for sale at the moment, but well never really checks temp on NB coz my mobo doesnt have temp sensor on the NB. By the way its good enough to support as a GC cooler for my hd2600xt on stock speeds. Its decent enough

Posted this on Thermalright thread, but I guess it is relevant here...DFI + Thermalright.

X48 + TR? Gawd, this is nice... For once, the heatpipe that comes together with the mobo are going to perform good.

i attach the hr-05 sli wif out fan oso make my temp drop 15... i wonder how when attach fan at it

For ur 680i SLI, i'll suggest u to get the DFI's Heat-Minator if it's not push pin mounting, coz the HR05 will still not perform as good as the DFI Heat-minator.

DFI's Heat-Minator??

got any pic of it? where to get it?

and wats da price range btw?

locally i dunno where can get..myb jy14 can help us..btw here its look

Schweet northbridge cooler.
However, there's a weakness on the connection between the base of the heatsink and the heatpipe, which is the same as Evercool Serpent northbridge cooler.

If you think this northbridge heatsink is good, look at the post number 952 below.
You'll be surprised.

This schweet northbridge chipset heatsink is super cool.
Sorry for the small picture, i myself wish there's a bigger picture, but then, there's nothing i can do about it.

whr to buy TR HR-05 SLI/IFX ???

Main weakness of DeepCool NBridge 8:



Look carefully then you'll notice.
But then, with the price of RM50, what do you expect?

It's full copper summore.
This northbridge heatsink will outperform Evercool Serpent for sure.

But if compare with HR-05, HR-05 IFX & NC-U6, no one knows.

My P5N-D NorthBridge Chipset seem to be very hot. It is sooo hot that you can't bear to touch it with your hand even the included fan attached to it and at full speed ~3600rpm the main heat is from this chip. Is there any aftermarket cooling that can fir this chipset coz from the pic above, you can see the mounting hole is far apart not like any other chipset.



Is this thing can fit on it? Is it so good? Look fancy though...

busta_dude, for the love of God, do not use that CM Blue Ice, it's crappy.
I'm serious.

If you want something better grab that Deepcool NBridge 8 i've posted above from lehteck, it'll only cost you RM50 for a new unit, then find some way to fit a 60MM fan on it. Be it by using double sided tape or some cable ties.
However, please check the speed of the fan first, find a low speed fan, a high speed fan will only make the heatsink perform worse.

I can fit a Noctua NC-U6 & Thermalright HR-05 IFX on my previous EVGA 680i SLi Rev. A1 which has the same mounting measurement as your board. I'm not sure either the Deepcool NBridge 8 would fit, but you can try.

hey busta_dude,give me the measurement between the holes,i have one deppcool nb 8 from lehteck for testing

Don't kesi kesi thr

And 2 pcs of Memo6 also..

Next week maybe get another unit of nb6 also

@coolice
wats the result of the nb8?... isit good?

report will be up next week with ram cooler,too busy to test this week
