New NB fan

[yahooadam]

Well the title says it all really

want can i shove on to cool this beast

bear in mind my GFX card allready rests on my NB

whatever it is needs to be availible in the UK, cant be a watercooling component, and affordable

of course its a SLI-DR mobo

what do u guys reccomend

P.S.
Im looking for somthing quiet, doesnt ahve to be silent, but quiet ...

there's not really all that much out now in terms of nb coolers anymore, there's a few available but not really meant for any current hardware. vantec has a copper nb cooler, its not bad i guess, i have a couple of them. had one on my nf7-s, it worked good for that

[yahooadam]

yeh but will it fit

talking about very little clearance here

maybe avid can enlighten us, hes the madman of the group ;)

you should get a Vantec Iceberq, copper, silent fans........

I'm in the market for a new one as well. My nb fan is making noises. Does the Iceberq fit/work with an A8N SLI Deluxe? I can't specs about mobo compatability anywhere.

I was also looking at the Swiftech MCX159-cu. It looks pretty good and I know it works with my mobo....just kinda expensive after I just bought my new ram.

There's a bunch on this page of frozencpu....might wanna check it out.

uve got the same problem as me

the NB cooler needs to be small enough to fit under your GFX card

[bluegreenshxt]

Look into the Evercool VC-RE, runs great on my chipset. Don't know if it's available in the UK though.

The smaller Vantec Iceberq VGA cooler could also fit if the blue transparent cover was some how removed.

Anything else will require extensive modding...Damn Zalman needs to come out with one of those flower coolers for NB.

The Iceberq 4 is better than the other ones. The Iceberq 5 does not fit.

The Iceberq 4 requires some modding.

cheers

ill probably order the icerberq 4 when i order some ram from overclock

aslong as i can muster up the money :rolleyes:

[bluegreenshxt]

Drilling holes and grinding spots on the Iceberq 4 though....The Evercool would be so much easier :p :D...but then and again, I was always lazy..

there are 2 icerberq 4's

The iceberq 4 and the iceberq 4 pro

the iceberq 4 has dimensions "75X62X15 mm" and a RPM of 6k

while the pro is "88X65X15 mm" and rpm of "5500 R.P.M"

will they both fit :confused: will they both work ? :confused:

The smaller one works with a bit of modding.

The larger one....no one's tried yet....

infact in this thread it says the Iceberq4 pro and 5 wont fit

lol i shoulda read better

does anyone know of a site with more detail

i ordered the iceberq4, should come eventually when the rest of the orders in stock

[yahooadam]

well after a 2hr gaming session it was at

55 degrees, 5k rpm

and i didnt even notice it

normally it would hit 60 and be at 7k rpm and very audible

the get it on i had to drill the holes a bit bigger, hack off the bit of metal the plastic cover connects to, and grind a way a bit of the bottom to clear a clock crystal (i think)

[bluegreenshxt]

Those temps look more normal :p

I'm wondering why your chipset runs so much hotter though? Could it be a bios misreading?! :confused:

[yahooadam]

u think its cos my case does run very warm

dunno why it doesnt seem to exhale the air very well

it has a fan in the top, 1 at the back, 2 in the PSU and 1 blowing over the HDD's but its still very warm in there

1 day ill get a nicer case with some 120mm fans

also ATM i only just put on the AS5, so it should drop a bit more over the next week

Edit
Oh yeah and my room at the time was a nice 25 degrees ....
