Good find shawty.

Unfortunately for me, i guess that the NC U6 cant fit into my system - DS3 + TBTVX.

Sorry if this is a bit out of topic - didnt feel like starting a new thread..

what northbridge heatsink fits nicely into a ds3 with thermaltake btvx?

Its like pushing 40c at 460 fsb@load and im kinda concerned. will need to get a northbridge heatsink before i plan to run at that speed.

Thanks for the suggestion.

However, either google is broken or this nb heatsink is so scarce that i cant find a picture of it, let alone a review of it on the net.

Do point me to the right direction.

p/s: i've only found one picture of it in this thread.

Maybe can fit it in.. have to go back and ukur. According to the website, the height is about 4.5 cm. hopefully it could fit in my setup.

anyway, just realised that the uglyvamp store is in singapore.. Darn thats far. Where else can i get the pccooler or the zalman nbf47j (moderno's shop is out of stock)?

Guess theres no other way to know whether it could fit or not besides buying it I guess.

Just trying my luck, anyone here using the zalman flower nb cooler with 965P DS3?

Cool Cool. PM me your best price

Anyways, do you have like a before and after temperature reading for teh heatsink? Thankss

Errr... now thats weird.. Im pretty sure the highest i've got under load @ 460fsb @ no aircond room was about 40c, at most 42c on the default ds3..

chipset temperature, core temperature, speedfan.. something doesnt sound rite here.. im getting confused meself.

for me, speedfan only shows 'accurately' the chipset temperature.

I use TAT to monitor my Core(s) temperature

And yes, right now, my chipset temperature is like 40c underload. Probably because i have a 120mm side fan blowing directly to it, and coupled with a low profile graphics card makes the air circulation better i guess. It could go down as low as 30c @idle with the aircond on.

Now i'm more confused.

Mobo temp and chipset temp is different meh?

Btw, the temperature in easytunes 5 for system is the same temp as reported in speedfan. So I would assume that it would be the chipset temp, no?

Will try to switch off the fan later but right now the results might be distorted a bit coz i reapplied AS5 to my northbridge heatsink last nite thinking that 40c was a bit too hot.. Then i saw the other guys post and i feel abit relax

im still confused.. maybe becoz of the rainy friday afternoon..

im using ds3. in easytunes, theres a motherboard temperature which usually hovers between 30c - 40c depending on load and ambient temperature.

In speedfan reports exactly the same temperature as temp1. Am i to assume that as my northbridge temperature?

hahaha.. i'll do that at last resort I guess.. want to open my northbridge heatsink need to unmount my mobo Hopefully someone using the same mobo can confirm with me.

Thanks.
