To my knowlege the backplate only adds stability and gives something for the cpu cooler to screw into. Some Mobos (like gigabyte) have a plastic plate with clips rather than threaded screw holes and those usualy have to be replaced. If the plastc backplate has threaded screw holes (and your screws f...

A degree or two for twice the weight (300g vs 590g), no thanks. There are many better coolers in that high of weight class. Coolers should be compared by weight rather than name. Very different people would buy the copper version and the aluminum version. Regardless the katana is a very good cooler ...

Custom chipset cooler mod
I have been looking for a solution for my nforce4 heat problems so I had the great Idea to mod a zalman single heat pipe graphics cooler. I started by using the spare heatsink blocks and drilling 2 holes straight through the shorter block, so that they would line up with those on the larger one and ...

x800gto vf700 or zalman HP?
My 6600gt kicked out and I dont want to wait for RMA so I want to get a graphics card to replace it, I was thinking a x800GTO 256 ($160 newegg)
I have a zalman dual hp passive cooler from my 6600gt but Im not sure if it can handle a x800 or If I should just buy a vf700 for it.

Good news I spent today with the dremel and made a chipset cooler. Ill post pics soon but let me explain it first. So I did no bending at all, the hp is in the same orentation as the graphics card basicly and the Hs is supported by the 6600gt's cooler under it. My temps are now quite a bit lower a s...

I think I can do this without any bending! but there are still two issues 1> can the 5200 be cooled with one HS and no HP (its only in a server so I think It can) 2> with my plan the HS for the chipset would be directly above the zalman cooler for my 6600gt (about a quarter inch between them) would ...

My main problem is that the chip set is directly above my 6600gt HS. My case is a lian li pc 65 w/ front and back 12v YL so the air flow is good. I managed to lower my temps a few degrees in my old Setup in this case using a cookie jar HDD mod with a fan in the middle of the case with some air being...

thx for that I hadent read the last post, so bending is out of the qustion any way I could make a good chipset cooler out of a zalman HP? Curently I'm using the stock HS from my ECS Kn1, which is quite large but has a radial fin pattern so is not as effective passive. I have tryed using a zalman NB ...

Experiment with Convection cooling

I plan on constructing a test box with a slanted top leading to varying size chimney; there would be only one intake with the light bulb centered. I know many of you have ...
