Just got an answer from him. He said it can get quite expensive to do a heatsink for that mobo.

As you can see on this pic, the heatsink is odd looking.

(Red squares are where the mounting screws are.

That's why it's probably expensive to make.

LOL

omgninja


Gonna take the opportunity to slap in a small update.

Last week I got a couple of things for my server, a slim IDE to SATA converter board, two SATA -> E-SATA cables and an E-SATA bracket.

So, right now I have both of my WD Greens plugged into both E-SATA ports and inside my AcRyan external case which is where they get the power from.


But it has been a really rough week. ALOT of confusion with my mobo and the RAID and the DVD-RW drive and Microsoft fails.

To put it simple what messed my week...

-Microsoft simply failed to support RAID onto Windows Home server.
-My IDE slot in DVD-RW fails to be detected on windows setup and inside windows when I have the BIOS HDD settings set to AHCI or RAID.
-Reinstalled WHS about 5 times
-Installed Windows 7 one time


-(Lose sanity)
-???????
-Profit! (lol )


Seriously now. Currently I have WHS up and running smoothly. Since I cannot set up hardware RAID, might as well go for software... Currently synching HDDs and updating windows. (Running at 2GHz woot!, I couldn't allow myself on OCN still having one rig not oced )

Question: It will void the warranty, but how hard would it be to split the heat sink? Can you get a spare one online and split that one? Then you can have the NB and the CPU at different heights.

Oh, and sorry for the double, but the Flickr pictures in post 466 are broken. I come back from vacation and I cannot even see half of them.

That would be golden, but the heatsink is so uneaven that it would look really odd split up. The shim is doing its job really well, even with these hot weather (Like 27~28C in my bedroom) temps are reasonable, and even under load temps won't shoot like mad.

But like I said before, golden, would be to use my enzotech NB heatsinks. I will try to mod them out to fit , but I'm not promising anything

Thanks alot for the heads up mate.

Yeah, I will have to do some moar modding to the optical drive support due to the DC-DC converter.

You'll notice the converter is now placed slightly more to the left, so it'll interfere with the DVD-RW holder...

Yeah... I hear alot "Measure twice, cut once", but I completely forgot about that small issue there, but should be no big deal.
