Hi
Anyone tired to change original chipset cooler with something else ?
Cooler is too loud but i have no idea what will fit instead of it.
Any help will be appreciated.
I simply prefer much bigger and better Zalman's heatsink. Coolermaster's one looks only a little better than asus one. I didn't chek if it was good enought to cool the chipset.
Cooler is quiet and in closed case almost can't be heard. I can't imagine going back to asus "heli" one :)
After installing it i have a CHIP FAN Warning in POST. (I don't user original asus cooler). Message says i can disable it in BIOS but there is no such option so i got back to 1003.
Yes original Coolermaster heatsink fits on it. It's 40x40x11 mm as far as i remember and it has attached cooler with 4 screws. I used one of these screws. I had to bend 1 fin of Zalman a little.
Asus probe shows max. 33C mobo temperature now and heatsink is slightly warm.
I put Zalman NB47J on the chipset but for me it was too hot. I bought Coolermaster DXY Chipset Neon cooler. It's small heatsing + cooler. I removed it and put on the right side of Zalman NB47J. I think, it's a perfect solution.
Cooler parameters are: 40x40x10 mm, 5000 RPM, 25dBa, 5CFM. It is...

I second your opinion. This board realy sucks. It's far from being stable. I don't even think about overclocking, i only want everthing working.
I've already changed PSU to very power full one, and replaced SATA NCQ disk with ATA133 one. I'm tired and hate this mobo.
I'm also...
My A8N SLI Deluxe is unstable :(
Without overclocking 3D games hangs after a 30-60 min. of playing (no BSOD).
I've tried overclocking too but even FSB220 is unstable.
I touched all coolers. Only chipset one was very very hot ! HELP.
Since 1003 Final BIOS (and all 1003 betas) didn't resolve my problem with dissapearing Maxtor NCQ HDD, i'm still with 1002 final.
Did anyone with the same problem try 1004-001 ? What changes are made in this BIOS ?
