Danger Den’s Z-Chip Block Review

[Iron Hawk]

Just a heads up: New review on the Danger Den Z-Chip block over at www.wc101.com

 

[Liss]

[natopotato]

looks good im thinkin about getting a swiftec block though... undecieded if i even want a chipset block

 

[NeoMoses]

has anybody been "stuck" by their northbridge cooling? does this really help, or is it just for bragging rights?

 

[Iron Hawk]

Northbridge fans only add noise to the system. Also, a watercooled computer doesnt have a CPU fan blowing air accross the NB, so the NB might get hotter than normal, especial if it is passivly cooled to begin with.

heh, yeah, i checked the temp of mine the other day, on my 8k3a, the chip is 50c+ no fan, no cpu fan to blow across it....

 

[Iron Hawk]

Yeah, that cant be good for the overclock.

 

[gone_fishin]

I've got an Alpha Pep66, huge for a nb sink, on my intel 850. It gets real hot when at stock speed and no fan.

i just threw a fan onto the one on my 8k3a+ and get 30-40c temps~ im only at 170-210fsb
(Oh yea~ i would use a chipset block but i ASE the heatsink on.... DOH....)

Do the freezer trick. it should still be removable. Just be careful.
