Heatpipe touching cap

[cliffhucker]

I just installed a Ninja on my A8N-E and it is just barely touching a capacitor.

Is this ok?

I tweaked it a bit but not to much. It lines up directly so trying to go one way or the other does not help.

Here are some pics:

Big deal? No big deal?


Thanks

Sweet, I did not think so.

Thanks for the reply!

I don't think it's a big deal, Wouldn't they normally get hot on their own anyhow? Man does that picture put in perspective how huge that cooler is.

Depends on the load the cap is put under. They can get extremly hot or stay rather cool. But if something touchs one it wont hurt, as long as you don't pull if off the leads...

Extra cooling for that capacitor.

All that heat's spread throughout the 12 heat pipes. It shouldn't be a problem at all.

Don't worry about the capacitor. The same thing happened with my old 6200 video card when I put on a Cooler Master Cool Viva

My heatsink's bigger:

That isn't mine per-se. I have 2 x 120mm fans on mine.
