Actually, he doesn't need a northbridge block. The heatsink on that board is passive. (This is the other owner of TTL)
oh, hey brian. Sure, a passive sink will handle most loads. But considering the airflow through that case...
He has been running that case with just a CPU fan for a while. As have I in the past when I was using that board. It will hold up unless he really stresses it. The airflow coming from the radiator's fan(s) should be sufficient.
come to think of it, it should [offtopic] Can you toss the activation on my TheTechLounge forum account? Hotmail doesn't seem to want to get the message. Same acct name as here, thanks [/offtopic]
Actually, I was considering that before. It might be turning a lot of people away. Since you mention it, I will turn off email activation right now.

okay... this is what i've been up to... i was messing with my water cooling stuff, and decided to watercool my fx5950u. So I installed the GPU block as you can see here. I also ordered some tweakmonster ramsinks for it (i have them now, but not installed yet...) I used some plumber's goop to attach the duct flange to the front of the case... I let it cure for 24 hours before proceeding to the next step. here's the rest of the duct, after being cut to necessary length, sanded nice and smooth, and cleaned with soap and water... Next I used some more Plumber's Goop to attach the duct to the flange. I will be using some bondo next, but i needed it to be attached (at least i think i needed it to be ) I'm letting that cure overnight and maybe I'll mess with it some tomorrow, but probably I will wait until Thursday to do anything else to the duct, as it is supposed to cure for 24-72 hours.
wat type of case is that? where did u get it? how much did u pay for it? THANKS! GREAT WORK ON THE MOD
"Project Antec Sonata Mod" The case is an Antec Sonata. It was sent to us from ATACOM as a review sample. ATACOM has the case for $98 at the following link: http://atacom.com/program/print_htm...RCH_ALL&Item_code=CASX_ANTE_SO_38&USER_ID=www Our review of the case is here: http://www.thetechlounge.com/review.php?directory=antec_sonata
Great project!!! *Subscribed* Its cool to see more Texas modders out there in this forum. (Zap is our leader!!! LMAO!!) Keep up the great work!!!
nice the front is lookin good! just curious, cuz i'm not that sure yet, but did u cut the front of the duct off and put it on then attached the rest? is it more bendable that way? that would be a great idea for my duct mod. thanks!
