    SWTX 19" rack case and cooling

    The HAF932 case seems to be a classic. I found this usefull : http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/701036-Project-Quadteron Edit : I just had a little trouble with a longer PSU (an AX1200) interfering with an internal USB port that I had to trim a bit. I also found that the 8...

    H8QGI+-F northbridge heatsink alternatives ?

    I wasn't able to get it vertical (with respect to the picture, not the actual vertical direction). It could have been horizontal if I cut or fold some of the aluminum sheets intersecting the RAM. View of the entire board :

    H8QGI+-F northbridge heatsink alternatives ?

    A small update. Before I tried playing with the fan speed, I ordered the Zalman ZM-NBF47 passive cooler. The thing looked so cooled I couldn't resist using it on the motherboard. I managed removing the stock heatsink without removing the board from the case : I very carefully cut the head...

    H8QGI+-F northbridge heatsink alternatives ?

    I made short tests of 15 minutes each (running linear algebra which is the typical duty of that machine) : 6000 rpm (stock fan) : 53 C 4000 rpm (stock fan with one of the ULNB from the Noctuas, in fact just a serial resistor) : 56 C fan removed : 66 C (may not be stabilized yet, stopped the...

    H8QGI+-F northbridge heatsink alternatives ?

    No worries. Don't know how reliable it is, but I tried to stop the fan and I noticed an increase of that temp, so it must be related.

    H8QGI+-F northbridge heatsink alternatives ?

    Really ? Hum, what I'm reading from the field "SR5690 Temp" after applying this ? Interesting ! Now I just need to find a heatsink that fits in this very crowded part of the board and also the motivation to remove the board from the case... won't be easy, the fit is very tight.

    H8QGI+-F northbridge heatsink alternatives ?

    Thanks for the inputs. Nothing to measure surface temperature here. I may just try and see what the sensors report. Those little heat sinks aren't expensive. I also realize that the side and front huge fans of the HAF 932 are blowing right on the northbridge... so I think I'll be fine.

    H8QGI+-F northbridge heatsink alternatives ?

    Hi all I cannot stand anymore the noise of the fan cooling the northbridge of my H8QGI+-F motherboard ! I'm looking for a replacement. The setup is in a HAF 932 case. No graphic card. It's used full load must of the time, without overclocking. It's quiet thanks to the Noctuas cooling the...

    I manually cleared the log with "dmesg -c" before calling the script... silly me ! Thanks again for the help.

    H8QGI-F won't boot with GPU connected and ram speed is wrong

    The dump script was actually confused. I followed your instructions here : http://www.amdzone.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=521&t=138490&start=250#p224230 In my case, EEPROG_DEV=/dev/i2c-1 eeprog-spd-dump all produced 4 files, while EEPROG_DEV=/dev/i2c-2 eeprog-spd-dump all produced none. By...

    H8QGI-F won't boot with GPU connected and ram speed is wrong

    Thanks for the quick answers. I'm not in front of the machine right now. I'll post the SPDs on monday. However, I've already posted the terminal output here : http://www.amdzone.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=521&t=138490&start=250#p227676 IPMI was disabled. For the moment I'm using the...

    H8QGI-F won't boot with GPU connected and ram speed is wrong

    I got the same motherboard (actually the H8QGi+-F) and almost the same memory sticks (actually the 8 Gb version). I'm able to get the spd and also to modify it using tear's utilities, but the reflashing isn't successfull. Could it be due to my different CPUs (6344) or my OS (Centos 7) or even a...
