Added on April 18, 2008, 9:31 pmsub_noob = get IFX if you got the money and space for the case.. cause it is huge!! and the backplate heatsink (the other small heatsink) can cause a lot of problem in terms of clearance..

off topic = are your name sabri ? studying in MMU malacca ?

yeah well i see alot of ppl OCing kau kau also till 1.7vcore..  
IFX is a nice thing too...
If you hav a full tower it wont be an issue on the IFX thow...
I also retired from E2160..keep away ad, I also ex mmu-ian

i would suggest xigmatek ler... IFX is a risk coz its too big and doesnt guarantee you space to fit unless you know your spacial requirements of the case. IFX is a very nice cooler, but i would rather get a Xigmatek with 2 fans

Added on April 19, 2008, 9:54 amIFX14s have two parts to their arsenal, the backplate heatsink and the main one. The backplate heatsink goes out of your case its like a mini heat transfer exhaust.

sub_noob = bwahaha...indeed you ARE my cousin... LOL

it's not for NB but the smaller heatsink sits behind the mobo, under the processor base.. it is one very important component of the IFX cause there is some temperature drop when it is used.. you can add 80mm fan for it if you want to.. the IFX main unit could fit 140 mm diameter fan..

yeah.. i would also agree a1098113, just get the xigmatek.. save you space and money cause it comes included with a fan unlike IFX..and if you wanna go crazy.. get sanyo denki 120mm fan from all n gap and replace the stock xigmatek fan..

a1098113 is right xigmatek is better if your looking at price/size ratio...but i still love the IFX

a bit OT here.. switched clr_cmos jumper to 'clear', put power socket to psu, smelled something burning...... the whole BIOS chip (small soldered one) burns bright red .. . all this happen without pressing the ON button.... scary

Just take battery out and put back again

Eh.....sure bout that? I my experience thats the WRONG way to do it  Usually i unplug everything and discharge the mobo caps b4 clearing the cmos, and we're using the same mobo.
Yeah same here, havent had a prob clearing the cmos yet. Another way i found that works sometimes is by switching off the power supply, discharging the caps, and then running the comp again, usually the fsb resets this way

Take CMOS battery out and put in again

tell us your e2180 3.6ghz voltage
