Hi, looking to get this board and use the built in chipset watercooling.
Do you know what size the barbs are on the fusion block?

Cheers

Gonna be using 1/2" tubing, reckon that will be ok clamped on?

Mines been great so far. Even on Vista x64

Northbridge hits 50 degress on idle though like some people above. Seems like the thrermal material used is poo so needs to be changed.

Only done a quick OC to 3.0Ghz but its stable at 1.275V which keeps it cool even if its not a G0 stepping one

Which cpu cooler's

Which cpu cooler's fit this board..?' Would the Thermalright IFX14 CPU Cooler be ideal even though pricey..? :eek:

Not unless you have a mop handy.

Nice board, but pricey. I expect the sound card isn't half bad which could justify some of the price.

Massive thread on it here.

Watercooling and passive results on the northbridge.

acording to the chart its cooler at a higher FSB? Although not by much. I would still have expected an increase in temperature. And i would have thought by at least a degree or 2.

The tuinq tower only just fits, and I mean only just, the edge rests against one of the heatsinks on the top. So that's a rough guide as to how big you can go.

Does this board come with 3/8 to 1/2 adapters?

Yah I think it comes with adapters.

Not a whole new block with 1.2" barbs.

Yeh it does come with them Rich,i got a hold of some 1/2" to 3/8" barbs instead to make it cleaner.

Would you say this mobo is more geared up for quad core compared to the Abit IP35 Pro?

w3bbo · 26 Aug 2007 at 08:47

Cheers lads, just about to pull the trigger on one

My quad needed 0.02v (actual) less for prime on the IP35 than the Blitz Formula.
