NForce bridge

[funkdog]

Anyone gotten a better o/c by cooling the Bridge on their Nforce3's and 4's??

Has the day of cooling the northbridge better gone?

I pulled my sink off and applied AS3 instead of the Epox gunk, didn't improve o/c any.

The bridge really isn't too hot, a small active cooling does the job very well.

I know my MSI Neo4 SLI cooling, it's just a small aluminum heatsink with a 40mm fan going at 3000-5000 rpm, can handle 400x3 HT.

WTF My MSI Neo4 Platinum spins at 7200 RPMS?

It has a noisly wine as well.

I want a slower spinning NB Fan.

Download MSI coreCenter it allows you to control the NB Fan RPM

Who's the man with the master plan?

 

[scottchen]

Ned is right, you didn't install corecenter?

 

[Codesmith]

Its installed, but all it will let me do is set the alarm.

I can up the FSB by up to 11%, change the CPU voltage, but not the fan speed.

At 7200+ rpm the fan has an anyoning whine that can be hear over other fans/drives. Its the loadest one in my system. The six hard drives drown it out a bit.

I have the MSI Neo 4 Plantinum (Nforce 4 chipset). All Core Center will let me do is change the alarm settings, CPU fan speed, PCI-e speed, CPU voltage, Memory Voltage.

It Displays V Core 3.3, 5, and 12v and CPU, System temp, NB temp, CPU fan RPM, and NB fan RMP.

NB temp is always NA.

Is something wrong with my MB, or does core center just not have these features on my board?

 

[scottchen]

There's a menu with huge letters says CoreCenter, that's where you control Cool&Quite.

 

[Codesmith]

Yes, that is how I change the CPU fan speed.

But I see no control for the NorthBridge!

Are you saying that there is supposed to a control for both the CPU and NB Fans, because if there is a NB fan control I am not seeing it.

 

[scottchen]

I see 2 options... CPU fan and NB fan...

 

[Codesmith]

Well then either thats only availabie on the SLI version, or my MB is defective!

Do you also have a NB temp reading or do you get NA like me?

 

[scottchen]

NA like you.
