how are you cooling your rampage 4 extreme?

cammy5477 · 14 Feb 2012 at 21:28

i am going to get a cooling block for the southbridge and vrm/mosfets for my rampage 4.....it would appear that vabsolute is 1.4v for the SB-E chips and im paranoid im going to blow the board if i get close to it and im trying to run almost silent so i have only 1 fan that extracts from the hard drives, just had a sniper 2 die which i presume is from overclocking with no active cooling on the mosfets or vrm's so dont want this to happen again.
anybody else planning on mobo blocks for there rampage 4?

Most definately yes, and maybe the RAM as well if I can find blocks.
Not until April/May though as Im also waiting for Kepler

Yes, I am nearing the end of my build which has an EK mobo block on it. I am taking my time, it should be finished in the next week or so.

The inter-block pipe-work is a challenge as some of ports are close together, be prepared with a selection of fittings to try.

You've got a bit of a kink on one of those pipes there in that last photo - the one going from the right hand side of the RAM cooler

It's looking good though!

very nice besty

i have ordered the ek r4e mobo block in nickel, going to leave the ram on dominator fans for the time being......gave the config of the tubing a lot of thought because the vrm/mosfet,cpu and southbridge block barbs are all very close. have come up with what i think is a great idea so once ive done it will post up some pics for you all to see.
