Is there any recommended cooling out there for a PWM on a DFI Lanparty UT nf4 sli-dr?
or do they need to be a custom mod...


idle - 37C
load (prime95/orthos) - 67C and climbing
temps from Smart Guardian

wondering if it's causing Core0 to fail in both prime and orthos
Core0 fails and PWM drops down to 50C
 
PWM IC is a small rectangular chip beside the cpu and ram... it plays a big role in setting the CPU core voltage i guess....

Pulse Width Modulation Intergrated Circut
PWM IC

Core0 is crashing on prime95/orthos tests and i think it's cause it's losing it's voltage due to very high temps on the PWM IC

dunno if they use digital, but i remember readin' 3-phase.

i took a fan from a 1.3ghz duron and shimmied it between my hd and processor and it dropped it down to 47C under prime95 load (20C diff!!!!)....but core0 still failed :(
guess 2.7 is to much for it :S
