NB block wont fit

creepy · Mar 9, 2004

I have a x-aqua NB block which fit on my shuttle an35n ultra board just fine. Yesterday i got a a7n8x-e deluxe and the holes on the block are spaced farther than the holes on the board. Any ideas how to mount it besides crappy tape or some kind of epoxy

x-aqua ROFL ok im done laughing

but anyways um get a new block? because x-aqua/anything xoxide sucks ***.... or maybe you could make your own lexan top since x-aquas don't even use orings if i remember right ROFL (again)

i pray for mankind...

I personally think WC the NB is overkill since a nice Swiftech MCX159-A or a Microcool Northpole Chipset Cooling Kit will do the job and more...that is unless you plan on running more then 250FSB...and even then I doubt the A7N8X rev 2.0 will get that high and be stable...

One thing...watch your +5 rails...both of my A7N8X's raped the +5 when OCed past 210...

If you want to be able to remove it easily in the future, take some AS# and mix it 50/50 with one of their epoxies. That will work very nicely. I've done multiple 100% epoxy'ings to my Kyro2 graphics card and always a good twist will cause the sinks to come off, with or without the freezer trick.
