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!

    I bought a set of used water blocks for my board like 4 or 5 years ago but never used them as it was a total kit just for the E758 A1 board as I thought I would use them some day but if I ever sell my setup I guess the water block would go with my set up unless I got an offer I can't turn down.
     
    They are EK-FB EVGA X58 KIT-Actal supported motherboards EVGA X58 SLi and has two sets of blocks for Vreg heatsinks and NB and SB is one block.
