Epox 8RDA+ chipset cooler ?!

15th March 2003, 23:40

I was wondering, is the northbridge cooler on the Epox 8RDA+ good enough to stay stable at fsb of let's say 200Mhz ?

or should I replace it with another heatsink with fan ?

any tips ?

thx

As of 185 fsb or so an active cooled heatsink is highly recommended, try reading this round up for more info

can't open that page

And what cooler do you recommend ??

I was thinking 'bout a zalman with a 50mm or so.
And what about my warranty ?

if you replace the original there should be no problemo

warranty matter:

don't throw that std cooling away ... in case you ever have to RMA it or something, just mount it back on your mobo ...
