How an earth are you going to fit your RAM in?
Not as in take off the HSF first, as in, is there much space?
BTW- what HSF is that? Looks juicy!
GIVE US MORE PICTURES OF THE BOARD!

Sorry still a noob at all this not sussed how to shrink them to a 56k friendly size,just thought people would not mind considering it's something new and people want to know about.

Go edit your post, and stick this one in.
BTW, I reckon your web space is either getting hammered or is slow, cos I getting the pics @ 8-12 k a sec.
Like watching paint dry
EDIT: I just found the smaller ones.
A question for you. What the space betweem the cooler, and the ram?
I was thinking those using the high stuff below could have probs.

I cant get mine to overclock to well. I tried the following:
set ram to 10,3,3,3
250x10 with HTT x4 it wouldnt even post
240x10 with HTT x4 Wouldn;t post either
Tried upping the CPU still wouldn't post.
Currently have it at 206x11 with HTT x5 ram timings @ 10,2,2,2 and my 3dMark01 score is 23978. Would be nice to get a bit more speed outta my CPU though.

when i boot it says next to the Ram...
128bit mem clock is 225 mhz... ( the 225 is whatever i set the FSB in my bios too)
is this correct..
Can someone explain what running in 1:1 means and how i know if i am using a divider or not in this bios...
thank you.

I can get the ram (OCZ EB) in slots 1 and 2 with a zalman without a problem.
Just have to do sort of a side entry for slot 1.
BTW, what was that thing like to fit, cos I have seen someone else having grief.
Here's what's up:
It's a pressure issue. I bent the retension pieces a little bit at a time and reseated the processor after each bend. After about 10 ( YES 10! ) reseats, i got the right amount of pressure and the thing boots up fine. I'm running it right now. Going to prime95 it and just pray to god

Well i had no problems i just followed the instructions on Thermalrights web site and it went straight on without any probs. I think you will have problems if you try and fit this heatsink to a board while everything is still in the case then i can see you having big problems.
I had everything is bit's so i guess that helped me.

what temps are you getting with that cooler mate? I had my board watercooled and idle temp was still about 54C

Thats the temps hes getting
. What fan are u using on that? Is it a delta or just a normal fan or dare i say, a silent fan?
doh, how did i miss that. Im sure my board was mis reporting the temps, i got the cpu up to 2.7g and it was okay, temps just seemed barmy

Vantec SF12025L Stealth 120mm fan
HS/Fan install
HS / Fan arrived today for a 3500 on an MSI Neo2 board...
unfortunately the damn board has a backplate and top bracket already fitted, for what looks like a retail heatsink/fan. The backplate appears to be glued on!!!
I need to take the backplate off to fit a Thermalright slk-948u what the hell am i going to do?

put a hairdryer onto it , and then push the screws from the front, pops off easily then

Re: HS/Fan install
Yup just warm the glue on the back plate pad and push from the front using the 2 screw holes (if that makes sense)
Done it quite a few times with no problems at all.
