Hey there

 

Does anybody have a 1366 Board and can measure this for me please?

 

Got a formula board upstairs Roman, will check for ya tomorrow

Thanks Albrecht!

It's 5.7 cm. I had the board in my hand within seconds, but finding the measuring tape was the real task.

Thank you Now I can finish my late night work

Hmm, someone making a ram pot?

 

 

 

Yep It's about time for that =)

Bcant wait to see that dude.

if its solid copper sign me up.

You guys srsly want solid copper memory pot?

 

Well it's no problem for me. Just costs 3 times more and I'm not sure whether this is an overkill for memory with the few watts power consumption

 

Let me know what you think about this.

I think it's overkill...and also heavy weight for modules:D memories don't need cooper pot

I agree, copper isn't necessary for a memory pot. It just adds cost and weight. Memory doesn't produce lots of heat and there isn't any dynamic load you have to control.

When you get copper for cheap, why not:)

Well the basic price for copper per kilo is around 6,2 € while it is about 1,9 € for Aluminium.

 

It's not realy possible to get it cheap

means i can cool it down and then ignore it though. more mass, less time spent worrying about it.

I get an nice pice copper today, 180*120

Time to make an full copper pot out of it

And i dont pay much for it, less than 30% of the 6,20:)

Getting one piece cheap is not a problem but for 20-30 pots you need a lot and you have to buy from a official store which is not that cheap

on IB u don't need heavy pot on memories or you get 55 in 90% of boots, also u don't need mount the pot (better if u do it if using PSC/BBSE) but for hynix and samsung u need only easy pot ALU is good enough,i prefer short HS like SF3D made on his mem HS and easy removable HS is very important to don't kill ICs or SMDs under big pressure when u tight screws (prefer with clip)

 

what ocer need for mem pot is

 

ALU simple POT

Short HS with clip and not screws if not cost too much and should cover whole the PCB

Probe hole in the some place on HS not POT would be perfect

 

 

when HS doesn't cover whole the mem and pot is heavy

 

 

 

for the clip i meant like this like i made with simple 2 holes on the top of HS to mounting the pot

Thanks for the thoughts, Hiwa!

 

What exactly happened with the capacitors on the pics above?

don't tell me you killed those 2400C9 RipjawsZ, hiwa

heavy Pot while i tried to tight pot and HS screws or when i unmount the hs not sure wich caused

no but that one was one of the best 2800 hynix i had.

repaired it but 2 ICs were dead too.

one of 2800 hynix i had.

I wish I were you

I wish I were you

 

have good mems ok , but still no cpu here, even to do 5ghz tight finally i found one cpu can do 5ghz 32m with cl8 .....cl7 -6 has problem.
