actually i think TR needs to find a better aka more convenient mounting mechanism for their heatsinks man.

i 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

Added on December 12, 2007, 1:03 pmWarning: The IFX-14 Mounting is metal and its quite sharp... My old mobo shorted because of it.... It scratch my mobo and shorted the circuits...

One has a fan and another has a waterblock for the northbridge.

Added on December 12, 2007, 11:24 pmWith that budget, I think you can a really good motherboard. Asus's Maximus Formula is a good recommendation.

er the IFX can fit all AM2 and LGA775 sockets
what happened la? how did it scratch it? mine didnt. dont get how yours is sharp and mine isnt. need madman to confirm this

[o f f t o p i c]
get a foxconn mars. but wait for my review first

this heatsink is nice, but do u think it can fit into normal chapalang case?

ermm waiting for ur mars review.. i just grabbed one myself

Just wondering Darksythe...Ianho mentioned that positioning a 38mm fan between the Two Towers is the best way to setup this monstrous beast. What is your take on this?

yeah thats a good idea but then you'd be sucking hot air from one tower and blowing it to the other.
i tried 2 fans something like this

F || ||F
A || ||A
N || ||N

thats the best for me so far

So, you put a fan on each side of the tower for a push-pull configuration and not in between? How do you mount the two fans when you only get a pair of fan clips and a pair anti-vibration clips? Bought it somewhere?

I believe both fans are pushing out to the rear exhaust fan of the casing? This should work well?

probably scratched bcuz i took it out and put back in too many times.... eh but foxconn mars is using p35 chipset... i thought x38 better ?

mocha..how u know ur mobo short wan?

can turn on the PC or not?

Yes, push-pull means:

<---airflow--- FAN2 ||| IFX-14 ||| FAN1 <---airflow---

Fan 1 pushes the air towards IFX-14 while fan 2 pulls the air from IFX-14 to the rear exhaust fan of the casing. Need help in mounting 2 fans sine they only give a pair of fan clips and anti-vibrators...Anyone knows where to get these parts?

i think shud b short lor... now i cant turn it on...

BTW, the thermalpaste provided by Thermalright...is it not good enough? Why is everyone using MX2?

hmm mine has 3 fans all pushing 1 direction... like this... <--o|||<--o |||<---o ... And a 4cm fan blowing the backside cooler... getting around 37C at idle and 46C at load @ 3.4GHz E6600...

Thanks I'd certainly like to try the IFX out someday.
Anyone changed from GeminII to this and what's the gain like?

GeminII and TT Big typ almost similar performance... I got around 4-5 degrees lower temp from idle and 6-8 degrees lower temp from load after changing from Big typ to IFX-14...

How do you mount the 3 fans? Can post some pics?

Hmm...RM40 for AC MX2, RM65 per FM123...if get 2, that's RM130...so total is RM170...plus the RM299 for IFX-14...man...the bright side is high OC-ability and can be used for future upgrades...Penryn C2Q

That's a very good improvement, something similar to a basic WC setup.
