Part Number: CUC GDI FEDCO ARS 4 SEASONS MURRAY STANT EVERCO 9030 399030 2-192 9030 94722 279322 90300 2364 it looks like a weird core that has way more tubes coming off 1 tank...(if you follow me - enter the GDI ref and look at the pic and you'll see what i mean...) |

here is the pic http://www.autopart.com/gifs/radiator/399030.jpg looks like just 2 tubes... what you see is the mounting bracket... |
it's great but I still can't find it in any autoparts stores
|
bobkoure I ran the "Mark 1 probe" test. I find that almost all of my voltage regulators are a little bit warm
One is hot enough that I don't want to leave my finger on it more then a few seconds... Also there are too coils that gets just as hot... Below is a pic of my board with the hot spots circled. Click to enlarge http://www3.telus.net/MadHacker/ProC..._thumbnail.jpg Also have to very 2 warm voltage regulator but i can leave my finger on them NP... the rest seem cool... I could chop up an old P2 slot1 heatsink. It is alluminum, or should I go and buy some special copper ones? http://www3.telus.net/MadHacker/ProC...P2Heatsink.jpg glue the partial heatsinks onto the voltage regulators... but the heat coils I'm not shure about.. do I have to do anyting with them? :shrug: BTW here is a pic of my system... I will be taking more pictures later but the battaries died on my camera http://www3.telus.net/MadHacker/ProC...atercooled.jpg |
A chopped up heatsink is fine for the voltage regulators. If their top surfaces are in the same plane you could just use one heatsink.
I don't think coils being warm is a problem... |
coils need to be warm for max efficency
|
OK great...
I'll try to chop the heat sink up in the next couple days... Probably put some on my video card memory as well they feel a little bit warm… Quote:
I won’t worry about the coils if you think that is fine… Wouldn’t know how to put a heat sink on them if I needed to |
by warm I mean like 50C
if you can hold your finger on it for 2 seconds it's ok |

i considered that hot... in my description of my voltage regulators.. i could probly keep my finger on it for about 5 seconds... the warm ones are that just warm.. the rest feel cool or room temp... mebe go digging deeper into some areas that is realy hard to reach and C if there are any other chips i missed... the image of the MB doesn't exatcly match my MB but it is very close... |
Most of the Heat from the Voltage Regulators is being sinked to the Motherboard. Cooling them better will should drop the temperature of the coils.

OK I finally got around to hooking up the heat sinks to the voltage regulators...
It definitely improves some... but I think that the more quite airflow I need is still missing… I think I will build an external rad box…it will solve this problem because the heatecore in my case is disrupting my airflow. Thanks all for your help. Starting a new thread here on my external rad box. |
Don't forget to try one of those thermaltake (or was it thermalright?) fan brackets that mounts a fan inside your case. Even undervolted (so very quiet) a fan mounted this way may stir things up enough to cool your motherboard's "problem children"...

One I had to remove because it interfered with my water-cooling loop.. The other I currently don't have wired up to run... I should fix that With the external rad box I will have my hose run a bit differently where I will be able to run both my 90mm fans… they blow directly onto the bottom of the board(pci slots). I was thinking of adding some ducting to my front intake fans (dual 120mm) to have it direct the air more over the “problem children”. |

I decided to go with 2-342
single pass 9.5x6.125x2" I'm going to price it at a part shop some time this week... plan to have 2 of them,,, and get 4 170mm fans... details in this thread Building a RadBox but need a litle bit of help. |
