Thanks Bob4burton for the IC7-G Northbridge MOD

[anvil82]

Will this work on the regular abit IC7?

BEST choise for North is the Thermaltake Tiger heatsink......The midle is masif alouminium with fins around it....

How about noise on this one? I'm planning to build a real quiet system so I'll replace my Abit chipset cooler for sure unless it's the new one

And it is not suitable when using Zalman 7000 series...

Also regarding the Tt Tiger...

I don't know if everyone else is using the provided thermal tape, but I took the tape off and there were serious saw marks in the bottom of the heatsink. I started lapping with 100 grit, and did a fair amount of lapping before moving on to 200 grit, and then 400 grit.

Unless my Tiger was a fluke, I'd guess the stock NB HSF is as good as most unlapped Tt Tigers.

Has anyone tried this mod or the Thermaltake TIGER alongside a thermalright slk-900u? I might have to find out myself because you can never have enough fsb's....

The inquiring mind...

So, to answer my own post....

I bought a Thermaltake Tiger 1 and it does fit beside the heatsink with a bit of room to spare...I could only run stable with a 2.4c @ 3000 before but now I can run it stable @ 3300...

Color me a believer!

This limitation to 3300 is (what I think) due to running dual channel ram...haven't tested it out yet with single...

Hey guys!

I just got my board like an hour ago! (abit IC7). I want to get a tiger1 to replace the NB heatsink I got on there now. Couple questions though if you can help..



1. Is there a how-to for installing it on the abit boards??? can i just use the clamps to hold it in place so I dont lose my warrenty.

2. I have a Zalaman 7000A - alcu... will the tiger1 fit with it? Any chance of it working??? If not will the Zalman chipset cooler work better???

Thanks a ton for the help all!


OR should I just get the zalman chipset cooler since it sounds better?

i would liek to say thank you and give credit to bob4burton for this mod he showed us. I am able to get to 4.08 ghz on my ic7-g with a 3.0c. I just added the fan on top, and it sticks there by itself no glue or anything. So thanks again bob4burton for the nice mod.

THat was real ballzy putting the little heatsink on the back of your GPU core lol. Where did you ger one that fit so nice i want one
