Godamnit. Just an hour or so after my above post, another Motherboard has gone on me. only a month or so old but i have modded the crap out of it.

Thermal epoxied the passive N/B heatsink onto the southbridge and hotglued a fan to it - only to make it fit i had to cut the mounting holes off the HS, stuck a microcool north pole on the N/B - in doing so found the NB was really uneven and lapped it, epoxied mosfet sinks in places, and attached a voltmod for when i get my Vapo system.


I was using the board to do a review of some waterblocks, and to make sure the mounting hardware of each block made no difference to the temps after i used a standard set for all the blocks, in mounting and unmounting the different sets a nylon washer span and caught a resistor, ripping it and some track out of the PCB.

feckin typical.
