DO **NOT** REMOVE THE ORGINAL PHASE 5 FAN..

THE OTHER CHIPS UNDERNEATH THE HEATSINK ALSO NEEDS COOL AIR..

THIS IS WHERE SOME BLIZZPPC FAIL..

on my BLIZZPPC the chip in the corner is in contact with the main heatsink to keep it cool..done with flat copper heatsink....cut to size..

your BLIZZPPC may be fine now, but wait until the hot months & you may get lock-ups...

@AMIGAMANCE

if the heatsink is glued to the ppc processor ** DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT **

you may damage the processor..

it seems you can see this littel chip in the corner..just add a heatsink to it..

its also a good idea to add heatsink to the other chips on the other side of the board..two are near the BVISION socket..

if you also do this, YOU MUST DO THIS WITH THE BVISION & RAM ATTACHED..or you may fine you cannot add BVISION or RAM..

you are cooling the PPC chip,but what about the others..

there are for other chips that need cooling  ( FOUR CHIPS )..their may work now,but whats going to happen come summer..it will get hotter..



my BLIZZPPC has a small thin copper heatsink making contact with the main heatsink..

but my BLIZZPPC heatsink has also been modify,it now has a built in fan ( you can replace the fan )..

as i said before,if my new fan failed, the orignal PHASE 5
heatsink will act as a normal PHASE 5 heatsink with the orginal PHASE 5 fan..


the chip in the corner under the heatsink gets very hot..   NOTE: this is also due to the chip on the other side..but this chip has more cool air as there is no heatsink above it..in turn it heat-up the chip even more under the heatsink..


RESULTS: you may get lock-ups..fast ram may disappear..then return..if the chips are not kept cool..

@x56h34 & FRamiga


if you remove the orginal phase 5 fan i will suggest you put some kind of contact between the heatsink & the littel chip in the corner..( IF THE MAIN HEATSINK IS KEPT COOL ENOUGH ) this is what i have done...this is the same chip on the other side of the board..

NOTE: this is why i can overclock @ a very high rate..UPDATE TO FOLLOW..
