Cooling solution for DFI Lanparty 2 , 2500+ OC

[Slash621]

gonna OC a 2500+ Barton no a DFI Lanparty NF2... I need a heatsink that dosent require screwing.... I think what i have already is a thermal right SK6 with a delta fan on it........ 7200 rpm i think... but anyhow gimmie some advice, i am planning to upgrade...

Thermalright SLK-900A with a 92mm fan

the SK 900A requires 4 screws into the motherboard does it not? then if so i cannot use it..... Need one that Clips on as the DFI board has no screws

the SLK-800A/900A are clip-ons like a regular hs.

The SLK-800U/900U are the bolt-ons that need mount holes.

I would NOT recommend the SLK series of hs's on the DFI NF2 if you are going to be moving it a lot, unless you dont have a problem with pulling the hs and remounting it each time you move the machine.

At over 400grams, these things WILL rip the ziff socket right off the board if you are not careful.

If you plan on moving them a lot, get an SK-7. I have one on my DFI NF2 and its VERY nice, and not too heavy.

I did see the SLK-800A's on sale at SVC.com for $24.99 last week =)

will the SK-7 be able ot take my overclocking?

 

[Soulkeeper]

yeah before i returned my lanparty I had a slk-800 on my 2500+
the heatsink is great, but i agree with the post above; if yur moving around alot then you might wanna get something that weighs less

 

[AngryGames]

The SK-7 will definitely be able to take some good overclocking =) I have one on my Barton2500 doing 220x10

Angrygames do u also reccomend the YS tech variable 80mm?

 

[AngryGames]

yep...YS Tech makes some excellent fans. I do not have any personal experience with their variable fans, but I have had some reg YS fans that are high quality. I also recommend ThermalTake SmartFan2 =)
