QUOTE(IcEMoCHa @ Nov 24 2007, 09:27 AM) huh?... flat bases?... Confused what ace is trying to say is that the IFX14's base is FLAT  i agreed with him too. it is much flatter than my ultima which actually suprises me the thing is, the C2D IHS isnt exactly flat, so thats why some manufacturers purposely make sure its not totally flat thats was what i was told some time back |

QUOTE(IcEMoCHa @ Nov 25 2007, 12:04 PM) Need 2 clip top and bottom?... They only have 2 clips... like the pictures in my review, there are a total of 4 fan clips correct?but if im not wrong, using a 38MM fan might be a prob as i think it might not fit u just need 2 clips to hold it by its side and clip it to the holes provided on the heatsink, both at the top and bottom. that should be bout it. i wanted to post up a guide, but its of no use because the manual that came with it is good enough |

QUOTE(Liuteva @ Nov 28 2007, 06:13 AM) If this setup on a stand up mobo, will it bend the mobo? highly doubt that it will ever happen.though i wouldnt consider this HSF that light either. haha but given its size, yeah u can say its kinda light. depends on how you look at it |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Dec 10 2007, 06:17 PM) actually i think TR needs to find a better aka more convenient mounting mechanism for their heatsinks man. welcome to the club broi just got the IFX-14 myself...mounting it aint that bad...removal should be easy as well...... especially when compared to my old XP-120 the XP-120 aint just a PITA.... pain on the fingers too! EDIT: forgot to mention.... using 1x Vizo UV LED fan on my IFX.....mounted it in the middle on the front radiator (sucks from the front radiator and blow to the rear radiator) temps seem ok so far  awaiting some new hardware to throw this into now. still running my good ol' WC system in my current rig>< |

QUOTE(clayclws @ Dec 13 2007, 01:05 AM) Just wondering Darksythe...Ianho mentioned that positioning a 38mm fan between the Two Towers yeah thats a good idea but then you'd be sucking hot air from one tower and blowing it to the other. is the best way to setup this monstrous beast. What is your take on this?i tried 2 fans something like this F || ||F A || ||A N || ||N thats the best for me so far |
