Watercooling 850 chipset??

Lost · 01-05-2002, 11:43 AM

I been reading this forum for a while and I try to find answers to my questions on watercooling before posting. Howerver, I can not find a single waterblock or custom w/b that someone has made for the 850 chipset.

Right now I have a DangerDen P4 478 W/B, GPU block, heater core all w/ 1/2" fittings in the mail. I've built a custom res. and I will be using a Enermax adj. 120mm fan to cool it w/ a danner 250 sealed up. I want to be able to watercool my 850 Northbridge(runs low 40s C, even lapped and ASed on factory HS).
If you havent seen 850 HS; it uses a hook and hole set-up to attach the HS, basically like the 845 DDRs but a little diff.

Its an ABIT TH7-II; Heres a pic Ive found http://63.150.203.123:1333/reviews/t...iiraidfull.jpg

The 850 northbridge itself isnt like other chipsets(its not completly flat; its kinda like a mini P3 or AMD so I might need a shim of some sort
http://program.intel.com/shared/prod...hips_print.jpg (Northbridge is on the far left side of pic)

So basically Im looking for a way to watercool my Northbridge. I am very hesitant to epoxy a waterblock on the Northbridge; I've never seen it done and I dont know if its safe to do.

Sorry for the long post but I wanted to cover it completly so you know what I am asking.
Thank you for your responses.

Here is a better shot of the 850 heatsink

th7-ii, lovely board.

I'd just get some AS epoxy and stick on anything that fits. You may find an older k6 style 50mm x 50mm heatsink will fit, or be even luckier and find a normal 60mm x 60mm heatsink will fit
