can a sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer fit on a EP45-UD3P mobo?

or do i need to cut something off?

oh so can't use CCF cooler,

recommend me a cpu heatsink that will work with this mobo and has similar cooling results of the CCF

okay, xigmatek s-1283, but what is the diff between red scorpion and normal one?

SS kit you mean what? xigmatek crossbow kit?

hey thanks man...thanks for all the info and help. thanks for replying my pm too

i got the ud3p already and e8400 with s1284 achilles.

which part are you referring to actually?

i'm not so sure about the rev 2 stuff. Because if you read much further the supposed rev2 is a kind of prototype.

The fans for the heatsinks also differ somewhat from the early version. but there's no clear cut proof that there are rev2 and so on.

Added on November 28, 2008, 1:48 amabout the slight difference, need correcting.

S1283 including RS and DK has 3 copper heatpipes whereas S1284 has 4 heatpipes. This is majorly important and definately not "slight difference".

It plays a major role in the type of CPU that is suitable because the difference in heatpipe number, surface size and size of contact area.

use nickel for the whole heatsink?? not just coating?? they are just cutting down on costs and also unfortunately performance with it..

i know nickel has a very low heat exchange. about half of copper. not great at all..

something like the asus triton or something that has the gold cover, it's expensive but performance wise it's way way unsatisfactory.

the back casing fan you put exhaust or intake?

depend whether what position you put your heatsink. horizontal or vertical??

i put my 1284 horizontally and blow air upwards. i have another 2 top mounted casing fan for exhaust..

i'm not so sure.. try asking ham_revillo...

that heatsink is quite big..

yeah...understand.. high enough to pass ever the mosfet and northbridge cooler..

Sunbeam CCF CANNOT fit the mobo..try looking back a few pages..you'll have pics for that.

get a s1283 or s1284 xigmatek

that deepcool is new one ar?

one of the best is TRUE and s1283/s1284 for intel procs..

but there's a problem with true because the base is uneven and it should be sanded down to make it flat...

if price is concerned s1283/s1284 is much better because it offers the same performance at a much lower price..


V8 is not one of the best at all...it just looks cool.. the cooling performance of v8 is disappointing and can't rival true/s1283. it sucks..

overclocking with this mobo i think is quite a breeze

u want to change to what mobo?

ok...i got a question about the dual gigabit lan..

how to use it? can a normal user utilize it?

got a ud3p here..

newer bios version is better?..

mine is retail e8400 also..

btw, what improvements are with the new firmware?

the f7 bios is not official?? is that safe??

my bios version is f4... what official bios is good for dualcore E8400??
