What have people gone for when cooling NB/SB, Mosfets? Also is the SB water coolable?

Thanks

Dangerden Maze4 Universal Intel block fits the NB as does the EK Intel universal block. it's a pretty standard size so there should be a few that fit.

SB doesn't really get hot.

If you fancy something different, these guys make a full set of matching blocks for the X48.

Thanks!

Recieved my EK NB water block today. Any one know how to fit this? the screw holes don't align? Use the old clip from the original heatsink?

Doesnt really matter how you fit it so long as its nice and secure.

ok i was just worried about using the oem clip and putting pressure on the acrylic?

I have the correct water block ek-nb 5! which comes with screws! pics to follow............

it is worth being careful about bending the PCB or cracking the acrylic.

I didnt realise the NB block was a clear one. I take it you cannot orient it a different way around or were there other mounting clips in the box that could be used?

[Yaus]

no other mounting options! other than turning the water block at an angle!


standard picture.

picture at angle so that it can be screwed in.

Whats my best option?

On an angle is fine, the flow of water is still going across the centre of the lower block. I have mine that way and it works fine

Same way I used the MCW30. Worked just fine.
