I might be totally wrong and apologise if I am, but is it not a bad idea to have a live motherboard sat atop plastic bubble wrap like that?

You're probably right - But who cares!! As long as it works

Is that a new carpet or something?

Better to put it on the foam it came with, they usually come with some black anti static foam in the bottom of the box.
Depending on the weather putting it on normal plastic could be a bad idea.

Nice one. Didn't realise how stupidly huge they were; looks as big as the psu :eek:

Sorry - What's L33t?

Noni Juice · 25 Oct 2006 at 20:09

That heatsink looks bigger than the motherboard.

Felix Da Housecat · 25 Oct 2006 at 20:18

wow that is huge*

I'm going to ask if it would fit in my shuttle

*Any chance it's made by Sony?

No chance, no drm. If it was sony it would disfigure the board in such a way that only another sony heatsink could be used, and it wouldn't let you remove it to move onto a different board. It would cost a lot, come with lots of bits sony wants you to have and lots of people would get sued in the process.

A question- Does the heatsink feel secure?

Can you stand the board on its end without it bending or snapping?

Apparently a board with a scythe ninja attached can be shaken about without damage, but this is a lot heavier.

Noni Juice · 25 Oct 2006 at 20:28

Yeah, and on K8 (939) it only uses 2 screws if Im correct.

Virdi · 25 Oct 2006 at 20:32

yes - it feels secure

It's not very pleasant to fit though.... bit like a Big Typhoon, except it uses thumbscrews as apose to little nuts...

Noni Juice · 25 Oct 2006 at 20:33

I bet the results would be worth it! I mean, I could live in a Tuniq Tower!
