Hi there! I'm looking to breathe a bit of extra life into my x58 SLI 3-way E758 system.
While I've sent my board away for the Westmere mod, I thought I'd look into finally changing the NB, SB, Vreg heatsinks on the board
I know the thermalright HR-55 /HR-55 SLI and HR-05/IFX will work for the northbrdige, but I can't find them.
I don't know what works for the SB or for the VREG.
Some questions:1) Does anyone know the exact dimensions of the mounting holes for NB, SB and VREG on the x58 SLI? (Mine is sent away at the moment)
For the NB:2) Does anyone know of PASSIVE heatsinks that will work well on the NB, that are readily available? I can't find the thermalright one anywhere for a reasonable price.
For the SB:1) The heatsink would have to be very low profile in order to accommodate SLI graphics cards.
For the VREG:1) The stock one is just a bit too tall to accommodate a radiator and a fan.
What would probably be perfect...If someone had an old x58 classified they didn't need and was watercooling - the NB, SB, VREG heatsinks from the board would be perfect...I've tried finding them on e-bay to no avail.
Anyone have any other ideas?
I realize this forum probably doesn't get too many visitors these days!
