Adds stability and additional power to the mobo, it does no harm. It potentially gets in the way... Depends on the heatsink you use, a Thermaltake SP-120 will not fit with the DPS, most others will. If nesscary take off the fan and that should allow for more space. There is still a heatsink covering the MOSFET's and i haven't experienced any heat issues with the fan removed. |

I'm using the 12cm Zalman model, with the DPS fan removed (but the heatsink left in place) -- Based on the touch test, the DPS's heatsink is cooler now then before -- If a job is worth doing, then get someone in to do it properly. |
