Q: I tried to a HFC that my opty oced 170 to 2.7 will treat buy. I perfer the XP-120 style of HFC, but look at their website suggests that the XP-120 covers the first pci-e slot is a problem for my two 7800GTs on my DFI LP UT Nf4 SLI-D board. Even the SI-120 is a problem. I think I could go to the XP-90C model, but not sure if I will get the performance I need. Any experience out there with this board and HFC?
Thanks
Re:It comes awfully damn close to blocking the first PCI-E, but not quite. Though if I ever had to use that slot, I'd put an insulator on the back of the card at the point where the heatpipes threatened to touch it.
Other than that, I LOVE the way the XP-120 overhangs the RAM on the NF4 LP boards. It's free RAM cooling.
Re:The RAM fits under the heatsink neatly. I'm able to remove and replace it, even, with the heatsink attached. I have 2×1GB OCZ Platinum.
There is a great article/post with photos about this fitting on http://www.dfi-street.com
Re:Does it clear your ram on the other side? What ram are you running?
Re:I have the XP-120 on my DFI SLI-DR. It doesn't block any of the PCI-E x16 slots.
Re:I even called the guys at Thermalright and they said it would hit, I guess they don't know what ther're talking about. Are you using the SLI confi and have no problems with my model board? Are you using the si-120 or the xp-120?
Thanks
Re:It wont cover the PCI-E 16x slot, it just covers the PCI-E 1x slot.
Re:the si-120 fits fine, and doesnt block any of the pci-e clots
