Finally...some decent MKeys/sec :^)
So I got my DP 800 module and heatsink in the mail finally...the install was involved but well worth it. I had to trim the IDE header off (gonna wire up an extension sometime), add a 12v rail to the CPU, and turn the heatsink around so it would clear my HDDs (in addition I had to drill it so it would clear my CPU mounting bolts). Enjoy!


Ripped a 12v molex wire thing off an old fan.


Soo...beautiful...look at those BGA DDR SRAM chips...sweet.


Heatsink backwards on module.


Heatsink the correct way on module.


I drilled 6 holes so I can mount the heatsink the proper way or backwards.


Lapped contact area, chamfered holes...good to go.


I also trimmed the heatsink next to the inductor.


You can see the mounting bolts going through the holes I drilled.


Looks good to me! :^)


Look at that smooth HDD cable routing...


Note the clean cable routing...this allows the 92mm case fans to cool EVERYTHING
