Hi Allsop,
could you have a look at post#136 on page 7, thx.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should use for a CPU heat sink?
I see that someone has mentioned that the Ninja Mini+Nanoxia FX08 will fit in a Lian Li V-350, but with my Corsair Dominator RAM I don’t think the fan will clear the memory.
I'd still like to know what that little card is right above the top PCIe 1x slot.
I just ordered this board from Ewiz (a day after Newegg shows it in stock for cheaper ) and it doesn't look like the NB heatsink has standard dimension mounting holes. I have an Enzotech copper NB heatsink I'd like to slap on it, but I don't think it will fit
Think of it this way; if that hunk of stock copper can take overclocking and/or onboard video passively, I have no doubt the HR05 can do both and keep it cool at the same time. Besides, you'll have a bit of conventional airflow to help it out.Is it safe to use the HR-05 fanless if I do want to use the G35's onboard video later on?
On page 8, post #157 you can see the setting with Ninja Mini+Nanoxia, 4 Ram with headspreader.
Is the v350 available in the u.s.?
I took a look at the pics of the Ninja Mini+Nanoxia with the 4 GB of RAM but my issue is with fact that I’m going to be using Corsair Dominator memory which has the raised heat sink fins. If I use a fan on the Ninja Mini+Nanoxia I don’t think that it will clear the memory.
Ah, sorry. Thought it has a normal headspreader. With the Dominator you have to mount the fan on the other side - or you use it without fan. With my E4300@2,5GHz it works but you need a good airflow in your case. With those two 120mm fans in front it could work... Please try it and tell me.
don´t know if you still need the mod with the v350. I will try it with the Ninja Mini if the case will be available in germany someday...
700 W PSU?? What will your setup be? Two Quad Cpu, double crossfire and an usb coffee maker??

edit:
Ok, did some measurements. Didn´t unmount the hardware so it could be +- 1-2mm. I don´t guarantee that ist´s 100% exactly...
distance NB bolts: 6,3cm
distance CPU middle to the edge of the board: 7cm
distance NB bolt to PCIex16 slot: 2,7 cm
distance from the edge of the Ninja Mini to the edge of the board: 1 cm
so this would fit, without going over the edge of the mobo? http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/...x=328&code=009
I'm having the same idea as you, using the Zalman 8700 in this motherboard.
It looks like I might have a problem with the heat pipes on the SI-128 SE coming in contact with the memory. May be I should just stick to the Ninja Mini+Nanoxia.
Hi,
Ok, based on a rough calculation using a grid overlaid on the overhead photo of the motherboard (thanks to Tremeloes' idea), my rough estimate is that the Zalman 8700 would miss.
According to the Zalman site, the 8700 series cooler requires a clearance radius of 61.5mm.
My rough estimate shows the radius at about 52.5mm on the motherboard, making the 8700 too big (would collide with the NB heat sink). Looks like the Zalman needs about 9mm more clearance.
The CNPS7000B-AlCu fits, but according to the Zalman site, Intel Pentium D and Core 2 Duo CPUs are not on the supported list.
Or you turn it around and use a slim fan.

Looks good and plenty of height to clear the memory, do you think that would be better than using the Ninja Mini+Nanoxia?
I guess using the 120 XP is out of the question?
I think you will have a better airflow with the SI-128 SE. But remeber that you have to remove the 2 little braces to mount the fan.
here is a pic of the SI-128 SE with a 120mm fan in a v300:

you have to cut those two little braces to mount the fan facing up.
I also bended the heath-pipes down a little to fit the 120 mm fan (reversed) on top of the hsf sucking hot air directly through the PSU fan... worked pretty well and got good temps stable enough to hit 4GHz on a Q6600...
