q6600 G0 Cooler Suggestions. Help Please!

[Deleted member 24505]

chewy mate there is no sink or cooler on the sb chip,its the naked chip below the bios battery on the pic.the silver sink is on the nb.

ah I thought there was circity like under the NB that you have to be carful not to short things out in.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

if you take the silver sink off the nb it will look just like the sb does with none.

This is the only one I can find:

Think I will see how it goes, with the PCI-E frq thing, always thought it should stay at 100mhz so it don't fry the Gfx card, put there are asus boards coming out saying "1333FSb support with auto PCI-E overclock of 117mhz" i would have though that would really FUBAR your Gfx card. Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

ive seen people up the pci freq to 120mhz,but with no discernable effect,i just always lock mine to 100.

the sink seems ok,has you sb got mounting holes around it? if not does that kit come with something to stick the sink on with?

if it has holes you can fit either the one with the fan or the one without,the mounting pins will go through the holes in the sinks and into the holes in the board,around the sb.

Ain't got no holes for mounting, but the kit comes with Thermal Pads. Otherwise do you reckon getting this and putting four together would work?

I thikn the smaller sink has some thermal tape on it? otherwise I dont see how they want you to stick it on with thermal paste that comes with the kit. you could epoxy that fan to your current NB heatsink too.. but yeah send them a pm and ask them if the sb sink comes with thermal tape... otherwise I dont see how they want you to use it.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

the other sinks with the thermal pads to stick them would be fine,or the bga(ram) sinks.they would both be ok.

^^ ram sinks, than you will have extra ones for other uses and its cheap.

Thanks chewy, only problem is that im in th UK, I have found what I really want:
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/4...nk_Southbridge_Passive_Heatsink_-_SILVER.html
but all US shops have riduculous prices to ship to the UK.
Anyone know where I may be able to get the above in the UK?

Thanks.

 

[alexp999]

YES!!! Have found a location in the UK!!!
http://www.coolestpc.co.uk/acatalog/Other_Cooling.html
And here is the manufacturer's website:
http://www.microcool.it/english/Chipsinkspec.html

I swear that this company is the only company who actually make heatsinks like this, and I'm pretty sure that coolestpc is the only UK site to stock it!
i'm going to go with the silver one, do you think, as coolest pc has them it is worth getting mofsets heatsinks and the like? Also could someone repost my mobo picture with the stuff that could do with heatsinks on, cus I have no idea what they look like (other than the SB NB and CPU obviously.

Thanks.

 

[alexp999]

Just as an update, thanks to OCW for this picy but here is a close up of the SB:

Hope it still means I can put one of these Micrcool Heatsinks on it?

Thanks.

The mosfets on a motherboard are located around the cpu area I want to cool mine too for when I go water and give more voltages.

I thikn your mosfets will be ok since your not heavily overvolting/overclocking.

Well, to put it simply, my dad is going to be getting his q6600 g0 and we will ty fitting the freezer 7 pro to keep it cool. I will then have his old e6600 for my 775dual-vsta mobo I will also hopefully be able to use the intel HSF that comes with his q6600 on my now e6600. There is no facility to change the voltage on my asrock and I believe it has an fsb wall at 300FSb anyway the intel HSF's blow air onto the mofsets, so you reckon mofsets will be ok as they are, just (even if it is for my own peice of mind) get the SB heatsink.
Does it look ok in the close up of the SB to stick that microcool HS onto it?

Thanks.

Thanks but as I am in UK...

yep it will work, the thermal pad will adhere better over time with heat from the sb. but it will stick good enough, just use some 90+ % rubbing alcohol to clean the SB.. or you could just dust it off .
