Anyone know if this will fit on my DFI Lanparty NFII? Im kind of skeptical but not sure. If not, what heatsink should I use for an overclocked 2500xp?
 
Have you checked their site (Alpha's)? I know Thermalright has a compatability list for their heatsinks. (Damn you DFI for making a great, nay Legendary!, board but being asses with the mounts!)
 
Agreed, my 250 fsb awaits due to the fact my waterblock wont fit (there's a ton of caps like RIGHT underneath the mounting holes), i'm going ot have to make a thinner waterblock... RBX style clone, here we come!
 
I am typing from a lan party b with a 8045 on it right now... works great. Could use a lap job and some artic silver, but the tornado on low is keeping it at 34c idle right now.

Just be careful with the little resistors by the socket holes when you put on the mounts.

Lies? I looked on Directron's site and Dfi Lanparty NfII B isnt supported. You got a pic? Please tell me you have a pic and let me know if you had trouble installing it.
 
Would I make this up? I don't have any way to host a picture, but I can tell you it works...

I had no troubles putting it on at all.

You just put a washer on top of the mounting hole, place the mount in the hole, screw a nylon nut onto each of the mounts, and then you put the heatsink on top and screw in the final screws.... put on the shroud and screw down the fan.

Make sure you tighten everything in a crisscross pattern to make sure it is on there evenly. I will try to make a diagram with numbers... torque down in this order (imagine you are looking down on the heatsink)

1 3
4 2

Do that for the mounts and for the heatsink screws.


Idle at 31C right now(2205, 1.7v)

Idles at 32-34 when @2400, 1.8v

Good luck
 
the 8045 has been out for like a few years now, actually, I know for about nearly 3 years--which is a great lifespan for a heatsink, especially since it is still in the upper range of heatsinks even today, however, maybe they aren't updating their lists of compatibility these days?

Not likely to hurt the resistors on the other side of the board if you use a plastic/nylon/rubber washer or something, and caps on the other side do have give to be bent, although it's just a mere suggestion. It probably will fit, however.

Ok wait a minute. Do I have to purchase all this extra stuff or will it come with the heatsink? I hope I dont have to buy washers and crap because I will most likely not know which ones to get.
 
Nah, it will come with washers for the backside, and they are plastic, I believe.
 
If you haven't already purchased it, you might just wanna get a thermalright alx-800 for $15 from svc.com or newegg... or a 900a or something if you want all copper.
 
Ok, I will get this pic on the computer and send it over...

BTW, I said that this heatsink works better sucking out... but I think it depends on the case setup and ambient temps and stuff. I just switched it around and it was working a little better blowing into the heatsink...
 
Awesome, If I can take a pic and find a host ASAP I will post it.

[edit]

Im just worried that the heatsink will touch the circled resistors or transistors that are right next to the socket. Do you think you can take a pic from the same angle that I did?
 
It clears those capacitors easily.... I think you can't see that part in the photo I took, but it fits fine.
