Abit BP6 mod

j-dogg · 22-January-04, 12:29 PM

Because of the design of the BP6, most larger heatsinks won't work, they are too big, and anything bigger than OEM Intel coolers won't fit. What if you could de-soldier the capacitors that get in the way, put them on the other side of the board with the same polarity, and drill a hole for each cap in the motherboard tray? Would the board still work?

I've remoted caps on wires before...

I like the idea. I want to see if it will work...

you shouldn't have a problem with that j-d...as long as you're careful

A definite warranty void on that.

Well it was a free board. No warranty issues there.

ThatÃ‚â€™s just scary, but "if" it works you could make a how to for PR

I donÃ‚â€™t have 1 $ to spare so personally I wouldnÃ‚â€™t be soldering anything, that includes my 10$ toaster.

Don;t forget to take pics

I had to do that on the ECU for my stealth, replace 3 Caps and soldered wires and remote mounted them to a better location. it will be easy!
