N400 Pro 2 and Vantec Aeroflow
Holy crap I just got a Vantec Aeroflow for the 3000XP i just got and jesus
christ it wouldnt fit because of that damn capacitor in the corner. I was desperate so i got a small metal file I had and ground down the corner of the heatsink and by golly it fits. Before i rounded the corner though it did scratch the capacitor green outer thing, how damaging is that? Anyway its running now, although its a bit hot because my case does not have a vent next to the CPU. With the case off its 52 degrees, which is the same as my 1800XP with Alpha PAL6035. I have some casefan experimentation to do. Here is a pic. http://bellsouthpwp.net/d/r/drinklime/DSCN1156.JPG |

Holly Crap to you too...
52c with the cover off the case and idling (?) is a bit high. Definitely time to get some air circulation and if you don't already, some round cables etc. What are the little white flecks? I hope its not aluminium dust. If it is, give your case a good clean out. If its dandruf then gosh! I would take a bigger chunk out of the heatsink so there is no chance it will rip the capacitor out of the mobo if bumped. Otherwise the little scratch on the capacitors are nothing to worry about. - Tim "fredrickson" wrote in message ...

Yea I need to get a new case. I have an old Antec KS-188 and there is no
vent fan by the CPU. "Tim" wrote in message ... Holly Crap to you too... 52c with the cover off the case and idling (?) is a bit high.

Although I took rather more off the heatsink, used a hacksaw, trimmed about two cooling fins off to just a bit above the top of the capacitor. If those flecks in the corner of the heatsink are what I think they are, metal filings from your trimming the heatsink, I would shut down *NOW*, and clean that heatsink religously! Just one of those dropping onto the mb traces could raise havoc!

Thinking about getting an Aopen A600 case it has a 120mm fan next to the cpu more than enough even on 7 volts On Fri, 14 May 2004 08:08:17 -0500, Jason Ash wrote: "fredrickson" waxed eloquent in : Holy crap I just got a Vantec Aeroflow for the 3000XP i just got and jesus christ it wouldnt fit because of that damn capacitor in the corner.
