just an fyi incase anyone bought a Abit ip35-e and has a artic freezer 7, it does not fit, it pushes the northbirdge headsink so contact isnt made


i had my AF 7 from an intel board and i just found this out, so going to try to mode little to make it fit



so anyone else, dont buy a freezer 7 for your abit ip35-e unless to want to cut things.

What CPU do you plan to put in your board?

Just curious, I'm having a bit of a wall at 3.96 (440 x 9) with my E6850

yea, I have a somewhat similar problem with my IP35-E and Infinity.

if your going to mod something, gonna need to leave the NB HS alone, it gets hot enough as it is.

I would suggest replacing the NB sink with a sink/fan combo, like the Vantec Iceberg

^^^ likely what i will do.


i havent had fun with a rig for a while, and the results people are getting with C2D chips, i am gettig that overclocking urge again so will likely change up that NB heatsink, thought maybe water, but dont know if i want the hassle again and my case has no room for the parts
