Chillin the the north and south side G.

Well when I installed the A7N8X mobo from asus I noticed a reliable but ugly huge heatsink on the northbridge without a fan. Well in the spirit of mods and good looks I jumped online and found a solution! It was from Vantec and is an all copper version with ball bearing fan instead of aluminum with a sleeve like what is on the abit boards. As everyone knows copper cools allot better than aluminum and ball fans last longer so naturally I ordered the cool copper version! Cost was $12 bucks from a guy off ebay and it also came with 2 passive heatsinks for whatever other needs you may have, I choose to install the largest one on the southbridge, not that it needed it but because I had it and it looks cool :biggrin: anyways the install was cake as shown in the pics, looks good and cools much better than the stock version which used to be very warm to the touch after gaming and now the new copper sinks is cold in comparison. I can reccomend this kit to anyone! Check it out, worth the cash :)

(as long as it isnt strong enuf to distort the sound)

or maybe delta your hard drives?

ok wtf

read that post again

i did not mean any hint of sarcasm
you didnt even see my facial expression to begin with

i saw talking about cooling a subwoofer which some ppl have done and i was serious by saying that "as long as it isnt strong enuf to distort the sound)

why not mod the PSU?
i thought ppl like clear PSUs and light it up
and i like the look of it

and why not put a fan on your hard drive since there are so many products that claims to cool hdds but doesnt do a good job because of weak fans

AI... your a freak. Just admit it and all will be fine. :P

I kinda modded my PSU. Put 2 Quad blue LED fans in it and I think it looks pretty cool.

BTW AI... Is that a fan I see mounted on the ATI heatsink?

[eviltechie]

oh btw
how did u get the southridge cooler stay on?

what type of thermal epoxy did you use?

[accurateimage]

Yeah I was an ass and missread it, it was late sorry :P apologies :D anyways my supply is modded with a higherflow 80mm led fan and my hard drive is in the case I won from twl which is aluminum and fan cooled. Also yes that is an 80mm fan mounted on the chipside of the video card. Also the southbridge is held on with 3m thermaltape supplied with the heat sink kit :)

i really admire that comp of yours
but i wouldnt spend that much on it unless if i won jackpot for the lottery to have the cash to play around and buy lotsa sh*t
