Lanparty UT NB cooling

Perseus · Dec 20, 2004

Hey all;

I'll receive my Lanparty UT today from the good people at newegg. My question is this, in order to achieve stable, high-level overclocks is actively cooling the NB something I should do? I'm going to be using water on the CPU and GPU. Any and all opinions appreciated.

I think it would definitly help.. I upgraded mine to a passive cooler that I purchased from ViperJohn at DFI street.. He makes a version with a fan but with my NV5 it doesnt fit.. but even his passive sink is nice and better than the stock.. Also Ive seen people replace the stock one with a Vantec Iceburg active cooler..

Understood. I'd like to avoid the extra plumbing if I can, considering the NB placement on the UT. Would you recommend a large passive HS with a 120mm door fan whistling by it?

Well thats somewhat how mine is.. I have the passive sink that I bought from VJ and 120mm door fan that blows on my videocard .. which hits the sink on my sb also.. I think you'd be ok with that.. mine has been fine..

edit..

Just dont forget to make sure whatever sink you use for it clears the video card..

Vantec makes a great chipset cooler that fits perfectly on the DFI UT. You can pick it up most anywhere for between 9-15 bucks.

Glad to hear it. I went with a microcool NB passive. Hopefully I won't have to cut it, but it's going to be close.
