Hi everyone!
Well, I have very good news. I finally found some time to put my AMD 1055T/Gigabyte's 890XA-UD3 back together again and...after receiving the motherboard back from Gigabyte's RMA program, it works absolutely perfect! I am very happy with it! BTW Absic, it came back with a F5 BIOS installed...
I did modify the CPU cooler and fan set up. I was attempting to remount Corsair's H70 water cooled CPU cooler when it suddenly sprung a very nasty leak...needless to say, I could not sleep at nights, worrying about what would happen if I put a new Corsair H70 in this build and then it leaked again! Even trying dark ale did not help, nor did warm rum...I just kept having nightmares of my 1055T drowning along with my poor 890XA-UD3...
So, I decided to do a modification...it is similar to the English Channel Tunnel, with just a wee less engineering involved...
I found the piece of metal alongside the road as I was driving home from work...no joke, it was run over and bent a little, but I straightened it out and it appears to work just fine on my new Hyper 212+, which by the way, weighs exactly half as much as that monster Noctua NH-D14.
Thanks to DM for giving me the idea of building a shroud...
Anyway, please let me know what you think...I know we can't drive a super fast train through it like the English Channel Tunnel, but, hey, I had to start somewhere and besides, it was free, except of course for those two rivets...
Soaring through my new tunnel!
