Cooling examined 2

Tried a 5mm heatsink with thermal tape on the cpu and it is definetly 2 if not 3mm:s too thick.
Adding two bottom assembly screws in the previous heatsink holes could perhaps draw the motherboard
1 mm downwards on the cpu side, but you’re left with a wonky board and no way to draw
the needed nb-sink down an equal amount. Darn again.

As it turns out the fan included in the Revoltec chipset cooling set should be much easier and more effective to use than the Scythe Kaze mini, this due to the open sides of the revoltec fan. The Kaze mini has closed walls all around the fan making the modding needed far more extensive than getting rid of a few mm:s of single plastic ridge on the revoltec fan. Good job revoltec. Link to their product description is avaible in links in the right column.

Fan did start with the wires merely held on the connector, so the fan mod should work out. The thing is completely silent when out of the case anyway, I’m hopeful about getting it in there. Did not run constantly as I thought it would (it doesn’t have the third, yellow cable = rpm readings), it ran when turned on and then stopped like the normal fan. Will have to mod the plastic rig of the fan though, a bit too big and round. Doublesided tape will be what’s keeping it there, none of the holes match.
