From the mobo lar. U sure u measure from mobo or not? I din measure from CPU socket coz diff sockets got diff heights. Just measure from the mobo.

It's always a problem when ppl dont clean the chips properly b4 applying the heatsinks. It's not the thermal tape's fault. The tape that comes with the heatsinks is a good brand called Sekisui. U need to clean off the oil left behind by the stock thermal pads. The stock thermal pads leave a very oily white residue on the chips. If u just stick the heatsinks on top of that, it's sure to fall off.

The way I do it is to use Zippo lighter fluid to clean off all the oil. Then I use alcohol to clean off the zippo residue n the chips are like brand new with no oil on them. THEN n only then do u stick the heatsinks on. The tapes are very strong, u just need to clean the chips properly 1st. It's quite shocking to c a site like Tom's Hardware doing things like that actually. It's just basic knowledge to clean off the chips 1st b4 sticking on the heatsinks.

Wah! Now the gfx oso got bekside cooler d. It shud be really good coz I can tell u the back of the GTX get really really hot. Burning hot actually.

I havent had time to really torture my rams yet. ive been concentrating on the cpu oc. i wont know until i start to really torture the rams with hi voltage.

Oh forgot about the 4 dimms thing. U can use 4 of them no probs. Just imagine 2 of the fin units sitting on top of the 1st 2 units. So it kinda forms like a square.

Yup the stock plate can use for Intel775 n AMD AM2 sockets only.

They give u sum thermal tape which sticks on top of the rams. Then on the outside layer it feels like teflon or sumthin. It's really smooth. U jsut slide the HR07 on n thats it. Faster than cooking Maggi mee.

What I dont like about Artic Cleaner is that it's citrus based. Means it's acidic if I'm not wrong. Best to use a mild solvent like Zippo so if there are spills it will just evaporate without harm. Besides Zippo fluid is like teh WD40 of hobby world. Every hobby man shud always haf 1 bottle at home.

GeminII is like ant oredi lar. Now CM need to come out with sumthin even bigger.

U try rempit the IFX14 n c. It will beat the Ultra120. Try using a 120x38mm NMB fan on it like mine.

Sure thing. Bring it on. Let's make the whole mobo fly off the table.

U wanna see HR03 with 9cm fan? Here's mine, HR03 Plus on 8800GTX. I used a Silverstone fan on it.







N here's the fantastic temperature results.
