IBM promises cooler chips with capillary-action and water jets

Published on October 27, 2006

IBM's Zurich labs have developed a new heatsink and water-cooling that promises to cool chips up to six times better than conventional air cooling. The heatsink contains tiny channels similar to the capillaries you would see in tree leaves and in human circulator systems. The channels allow either water or heatsink compound to spread more uniformly and thereby dissipate more heat. Read more

More Information

I am ready to pull the trigger- I know I'm getting the GA-P35-DS3P board and Quad6600 CPU. The only thing I still need is to figure out which RAM to get, because I want 2GB modules (2x2gb=4GB) to allow additional expansion later using an OS that supports >3.5GB. Also looking for any info on CPU coolers that fit this MB (rumor has it that some don't)

The supported RAM list only lists 2 2GB modules, and I'd like to find out if anyone is using any of the following and can verify that they work on this board:

OCZ 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 Model OCZ2P8004GK
A-DATA 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 Model ADQVE1B16K
CORSAIR 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5 G
Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 Model PDC24G6400ELK
OCZ Vista Upgrade 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 Model OCZ2VU8004GK

All either show 555 timing or timing isn't listed but I think they are all 555. Also found modules by other companies that I've never heard of before, but I'd rather go with a known/reliable name brand. If no-one has specifically used these modules, any of these brands that I should lean toward (or away)?

Also any CPU cooler recommendations are welcome.

Thanks!
Keith

I have the same board, CPU and the Patriot 2x2gb of ram with Vista x64. Everything works just fine for me. :)

I'm using the Vista Upgrade 2x2 GB on GA-P35C-DS3R. I'd be very surprised if they didn't work on GA-P35-DS3P.

Do you need FireWire or Crossfire? If not, check out the GA-P35-DS3R. The DS3P is not that good for Crossfire anyway with one slot running at 4x.

I have the same mobo, Q6600 and Crucial Ballastix PC6400 444 with the Micron chip. Super fast memory. With rebates it was only $60 about a month ago. I also built a PC using the P35-DS3R, E4300 and OCZ Gold PC6400 555 memory. I overclocked the 1.8ghz cpu to 3.0ghz easily. The OCZ tagged right along just cruising fine!

I use firewire and like the bigger size of the DS3P which allows my huge Ninja to easily fit. With the DS3R smaller size, it was a hassle.

I undervolted both the Q6600 for a cool 25% OC and the E4300 even with the huge 67% OC.
