If you check my sig system, I'm doing well with the FoxConn BlackOps x48 board,
and I'm using a ThermalRight Ultra-120 Extreme (idles 28-30C, max 55 under load).
My issue with my sig PC as it stands at present is the North Bridge temps.
Mind you, that is a Gigantic hunk of copper they placed on the north bridge chipset,
but since the BlackOps was designed for water-cooling or liquid-nitrogen, using the
fan they provided is only sotra half-ass, since the copper block is exactly that:
a big Block, and not any swell kind of heatpipes-and-fins arrangement for air cooling.
That is what is holding back my overclock right now, as odd as that might sound.
I noticed in the Hot Deals forum that RadioShack has the BigWater 735
Water Cooling setup from Thermaltake on clearance right now, if any left.
Since it's going for only $32 + tax right now, I thought I would try that out.
Anyone with hands-on experience with this WC from Tt got any input?
Thinking of getting one if avail just to run to the North Bridge on the BlackOps,
since it comes ready-made for WC I figured I could just use it for that alone.
Alternately, I would appreciate any advice on what are the best
aftermarket chipset coolers for me to choose from out there now
T.I.A. if anyone can throw their two cents worth in
