I865PE Chipset Cooling

t3chb0yg3n13 · 13-October-05, 03:11 AM

my MSI Neo2-P Platinum Editon doesn't seem to give really effecient cooling from the stock heatsink....which is usually 40C Idle and 47C Full Load....

that's the mobo I have...

so far the Cooler I use is a Zalman 7000B Series....

I'm afriad that a different NB Cooler won't fit...

Unless you have stability issues or are unable to get a high enough overclock I would leave it as it is. If you MUST change it/modify it, try strapping a 40mm fan on the side of the chipset heatsink (zip ties would work fine IMHO) and see if that makes a difference.

You could also go down the H2O path...
