NB-1 on a REX issue!

[Maximous]

Hey Vince and everybody else.

Ive just bought the nb-1 and the extention for the gemini, but I have one q:

Mounting the NB-1 on the mobo, do I need to take off the complete stock cooling(nb, sb, mosfets etc)? Or can I just take of the nb sink and put the pot on the nb base sink? (leaving the heatsinks and pipes for the rest of mobo on).

Not sure if I have used the right words to explain the issue. I need to figure this out very soon couse I plan to do some ln2 benching early april :)

Thnx in advance for the answers given:)

[Hondacity]

you don't want to cool the whole board...

i suggest removing the mobo heatsink...

and use independent heatsinks on the vregs(cpu and nb).. and southbridge

[k|ngp|n]

yah dude, remove that whole heatsink assemblyand sink all the fets seperately then mount the cooler right to the board.

[Maximous]

Thnx very much for the quick respone:). Ill start right away looking for some cooling. Hopefully it wont be a problem getting what i need.

Thnx yet again...

Sr for double posting:(

Can somebody that have done this on a REX guide/tell what sinks I need? i would have done this my self and I can find some here in norway etc, but Im @ work for 14 days and o/c I dont have the REX with me. Thnking about measurments(length, width etc), and o/c what parts would be good to use.

Sorry for the hassle but i would appriceate all help very much:)

Hey Billy.

I cant understand what it says on Ur site:(. Tried using google translator, but no luck finding out what U have used for the different chips etc. I can see on one or two of the pictures that U have used a copper sink on the top of mobo and on the left side of the cpu. But I still need to find the right ones to use... U mind?:).
I cant say with words how noobish this is but if I just had the mobo where I am there would be no probs.

Enzotech MST-81, two of those will take care of the CPU VRM. Looks like FrozenCPU has a few left.

[Maximous]

Hey again...

I ended up buying this @ frozencpu:
2x Enzo Tech MSt81 for mosfet´s
1x Enxo Tech SLF-1 for sb
Some thermal pads
mos c1 for mosfets
bmr-c1
and some thermal tape.

Thnx again all that have helped me out on this one:)

Reports the events! :)

[Maximous]

I will:). I might try to look into livestream.com but I only have a microsoft live cam(720p I think). What I will be running in my first bench is a e84,85 and a 86. Have a bunch of 65nm chips to but I cant get past 500-525 fsb on those chips. That on air that is. But the 45 nm`s I can get past 600-630 fsb.

How far can I push the voltage for fsb term and nb volt when I use the NB-1?

[G H Z]

If you're under -50, 1.8+ vnb is OK

[Maximous]

Thnx yet again:)

EDIT: BTW how can I see status on shipping etc for bought parts?

[Billy-The-Kid]

Go slowly up the nb voltage, you'll have a point where you will not get more help! :)
Attempts to get around the -10/-20 on nb gtl!! My board don´t like over -40 :(

[Maximous]

Ok I will try with that. When using the rotary phase I had the nb gtl @ +30/40. That was with a fsb of 625. Havent got the OC of intel in my blood yet so Im totaly new to this plattform/intel...

[Maximous]

Might have started a new thread but Ill just try here:)

Any vcore and vdrop mods for the rex and a p5q3? Wanna do some celerons on the p5q3:)

[Hollywood]

Hey,

i am not a pro as most guys here are.
But why you need a vcore and vdrop mod on rex?

[Maximous]

Well basicly its the p5q3 that I want a vmod. Only checking if there are any for the rex since i got one. IF I ever was gonna do a mod. Cant recall having issues with vdrop on rex tho.

But thnx for asking :)
