My Modded Parhelia

[GT98]

I finally got around to putting on my Cooljag Low profile CPU Cooler and some RAM sinks on it. Installation consisted of using some super glue to add on the heat sinks and two drops on the P's heat spreader to make sure its held in place. I also added a small wire from a DEC Thinnet cable that I cut up (could use Telephone wire also..about the same diamter) as added protection so the heatsink doesnt go flying off due to its weight one day. I used Artic Silver 2 as my themal Interface on the HS and RAM sinks. I figured the use of Super glue will keep everything in place fairly well, but not permenantly like a Thermial Expoy would, so I could still RMA the card if it goes Tits up . I would like to thank Greebe for the wire idea for keeping the HS in place without using my Thermal Expoy on it and being screwed if the card died on me.

Now For the Pics:

Nice job. Maybe you could turn the CoolJag around so the fan blows on ramsinks a bit, but thats just nitpicking. Just not sure about superglue performance and durability under extreme thermal conditions.

Very sweet, but did you monitor whether your temperatures dropped?

I've been using Super Glue for almost 30 years now attaching fans to ... well everything... works a peach and only comes off it you give it a sharp rap

i have bad memories of super glue. anyone remember the diamond viper 550 with tvout? well it became a nice paperweight because of super glue

That's why I use Silicone Sealant.....no prob with 500 degrees F...

@Thop You're not suppose to glue the edge connector silly!

I haven't booted the system up since my P Rig is DOA right now since a bad BIOS Flash. I'll check it out when I get my new board.

Chams, I'm sure his P temps did indeed drop as ALBPM used the same HS/fan setup on his and it dropped significantly.

@K6-III Not everyone has the time to wait for silycone to cure before reusing. But none the less as excellent alternative

Maybe so but you do look stupid with 2 cooling fans stuck to your forehead

But his brain won't overheat as fast. Especially when overclocking

That reminds me of an episode of one of those gamespy comics a year or two ago...

Me brain is heat pipe cooled with a pelt ...and it's not 2 fans Ant is just one... a big propeller on top of my hat!

Well I dont have my Parhelia Overclocked yet but with my new MSI 745 Ultra and running my 2100+ @ 145 FSB I now have the second fastest AMD Powered Parhelia according to Madonion

The Fastest AMD guy there has 175 FSB

greebe, i wanted to get the heatsink off the chip (dont remember why anmore). it took some time but i got it off, with half the TNT chip stuck to it
guess the super glue was too super after all.

Oopsie. That's why you only use a little bit. A dot at each of the 4 corners, easily broken off intentionally.
