how do u hook the replacement northbridge fan onto the north bridge?

[s16non]

@dGabRieLm07

Well you use the fan header that is used with the default fan.

It's a 3 pin fan connector.

happy modding.

[dGabRieLm07]

@s16non No I mean how did u attached the cooler master fan onto the metal heatsink? Thanks for the response!

[s16non]

@dGabRieLm07

Some 3M double sided tape...

[Wladimirxy]

well done :)

[bradrhoades102840]

thats a pretty ugly setup. idk about performance but looks wise its ugly

[s16non]

Well this was made a while ago..

Those were in the LGA 775 days.. I am on Socket 1366 now and all water cooled with EK blocks overclocked @ 4.2 920 D0, on a classified.. as well as an overclocked GTX 470

@bradrhoades102840

[bradrhoades102840]

@s16non very nice

[ArmyofSeaturtles]

can i have your stock chipset fan mine broke

[s16non]

it did... just use a cheap fan from any pc store.. I think it's a 60mm one.. only a few bucks man.

and the stock fan is noisy as heck..

Whats temps do you get on your cpu?

Also. Did you add a custom window?

[s16non]

on air I only had it to 3999.X to 4.02 or something like that temps were low 30's to about 34 on idle.. and load 12+hours orthos like 54 to 56 on my Zalman.. on Water slash 5 degrees C off all numbers..

[HomlessEddie]

Really? I have the E8400 OC'd to 3.6 with the 9700 (facing backwards that is) and i  idle at about 98 F. Do you the fact that my cooler is backwards could really raise the temps that much?

[s16non]

A lot of can make or break temps.

Is you cpu and hsf seated right. is the thermal paste on there sufficiant enough to cool it.

I lapped my cpu and hsf as well.

so if you want I think it's worth at least to try once. hence my water cooling adventure. I'll be doing it when I get my 780i build back up and running. but when I go i7.. I may not. anyways.

[HomlessEddie]

Im pretty sure they are seated correctly. I use Arctic Sliver 5 as my thermal paste but i think lapping the cpu and cooler is what makes such a big difference.

What do u mean by "so if you want I think it's worth at least to try once"?

[s16non]

I meant with the lapping and stuff.

If done right you could go a long way with it.

You cpu will run cooler...

shashooots

[HomlessEddie]

Ok, thanks.

I think i'm just going to upgrade my cooler the Xigmatek HDT in the few monthe's and i may lap that.

[s16non]

Yeah do that.

good choice..!!!

[RE4L72]

come on push your cpu farther, i use to have mine at 4.4ghz (same cooler/motherboard) i know you can do it. :)

[AchmedOG2008]

Very very nice video.^^ I also bought this case today. it´s fantastic and your computer is also great. But it would be nicer if there were 3 280gtx^^.

But nice job. Like it

[s16non]

well I would tri sli. but there is no room on the board for other stuff. e.g sound cards...wireless cards. maybe a tv tuner.

SLI will be my best bet.

Thanks for the comments.

oh btw.. I finished painting the case all black interior. I just gotta upload the darned vid.

Thanks again guys.

wow this NZXT Tempest is causing quite a stir.

Shashoots.

[godscuttingyoudown]

yeah i did the same thing i used the cpu fans from my old p4 systems

i used plastic screws and pressure mounted the fan to the NB HS, later i used zip ties.

it really makes a difference

[badh8me]

great video man 5/5

[s16non]

Thanks alot yerbuddy2 I liked you post on 411overkilldotcoms. teh epic it is

[YerBuddy2]

Looks good...more holes in the MB tray and you can hide a few more wires, but nice rig bro!

[J35T]

Good modding, my friend.

We should jump that hindu kid and take his shit.

We'll test mod a shitload of stuff with his case. Or transfer your case to his and vice-versa.

Anyways, good shit.

I'm looking forward to the future. It's gonna be OFF THE HINGES!
