Yer, that is the SI-128.

Should I call them back on that kit? Should fit the same right?

Still a fine heatsink but I will not use it again if I have to use that g.d. plastic pressure clip thing. I could ruin a mainboard.

Here's some rather poor quality pictures I just took. Maybe that will help ID it. You know they really could engrave a small number on these things so we know what they are. I mean another 15 years of thermalright, God forbid we need coolers in 15 years, and we'll have so many coolers to guess at es...

SI-128 SE should come standard the bolt thru kit and not push-pins. At least my model came with bolt thru. That 775 rev 2 kit except multi support backplate. installation Check that link. Does your cooler have those little gaps in each fin? Are you sure you have SI-128 SE and not the regular SI-128...

Just a follow up with what may be the solution. This heatsink did have a compatible bolt through kit being made but it appearsed to Loren at Thermalright customer service to have been discontinued. He recommend I try the "LGA775 Bolt-Thru-Kit Rev.2" but he said getting at the tops of the screw heads...

They haven't answered my email. Hopefully today. Thanks

Anyone know if there is a bolt through kit available for the Thermalright SI-128 SE either brand name or custom. Thermalright names a kit that is compatible but I don't see it for sale on their site nor do I find it with Google. I'd hate to just throw this thing away but I will NOT use the push-pins...

have you ever considered epoxy? its 100% PERMANENT, you literally cannot remove it without destroying something. but then again if you want good adhesion properties, thermal tape will be just as destructive if you attempt to remove it. a good epoxy will have better thermal conductance than a good t...

I need a tape ...tape is used when you can't use a paste usually.

A paste will not hold the sink to the chip without mounting brackets. A thermal adhesive will void my warranty because I can't return the item in original condition ..the sinks won't come off then.

Hi, I'm looking to replace the tape on an old set of Zalman chipset heatsinks and an old Microcool Southbridge heatsink plus probably more. Originaly I was also going to buy the Accelero S1 and planned to replace the tape on thos sinks being a very poor quality thermal tape on those noted by many pe...

It's a patriotic thing. I'm looking at building a computer with the most American made components or if given no other choice at minimum parts that keep more currancy in my country. It should be fun to see the options even if I don't do it. Fans... even if they stink are there any U.S.A. owned and, ...

I'll be running a Gigabyte DQ6 3.3 overclocking an Intel E2140 about 400Mhz only. The CPU cooler will be the one that it comes with. One Seagate 300gb HDD, a Ben-Q DVD-RW, and a PC Power &Cooling Silencer 430w. You folks think considering all this I should opt for the two 92mm fans? I need to make a...

Good. The filters are still up front right?

I'll try my nexus 120mm but it may not be powerfull enough - hopefully.

thanks

Does the Antec Solo Mid come with two 92mm fans in teh front of do I need to buy those? Anandtech says the Antec included 120mm fan is near silent but... is it? I have an extra 120mm Nexus anyway but it is the orange bleh ugly one.

Sorry for the late reply - thank you all. I wanted the DVI out to my monitor for my eyes ..and hoping my monitor would use less enegery ..but no idea if VGA vs DVI input means less. I opted to stick with onboard VGA - it's just fine for a torrent box. After much much researching, for those of you wh...

Thermalright is always top choice, I know ..unless youre concerned about wieght. I didnt want to spent 20.00 on an aftermarket Northbridge cooler for my old Athlon 64 system though. I need to work with my MicroCool cooler I guess..... the thing is really noisy albiet effective.

I got mine today. If Antec doesn't stiff me on the rebate, it willl be $26 total. Pretty sweet! 8) Now i just need stuff to put inside -- not arriving until Monday at the earliest. :( I got the Earthwatts 380 that was on a similar deal, so i got a nice, system-ready case for less than $50. HedgeHoc...

I called and haggled my way to $10.00 off and got the original hot deal of $9.99. Today was the last day but the price changed yesterday....better CALL NOW if you want it for 9 dollars. I paid an effective $7.00 shipping because of the volume of my order = 17.00 paid.

Nice, nice deal.

This case is, is now at least, $19.00 not $9.00 with the rebate ...has it changed before the cut off date - today??

Newegg.com right?

Are fanless northbridge coolers (aftermarket) expected to get VERY hot? I added a Zalman to an ASUS nForce 4 mainboard I have and it gets hot enough to hurt you ..nearly burn you. Because of this I have pulled the board and taken the sink off for now until I find out. I have a MicroCool cooler but i...

More insight on a VIA processor based system... I own a C7-D with onboard VGA, two WD RE2 hdd's in mirror array, 2Gb Kingston 533Mhz, and a Plexwriter DVD-RW. My total system power draw acording to my Kill-A-Watt is 35-38w. I run this system 24/7 for torrents.

Oh hey, there you are... Yeah I got that heatsink on and didn't check the temps before for comparison so I was worried. Then my Zalman is cooling it quite well at 58C. I'm using what is probably the very first silver based paste that Arctic Silver came out with ..does seem to be working just fine. M...

Hi, I'm wanting to add the least expensive but usefull processor to an extra 965P mainboard I have. Its the Intel Celeron 420 Conroe-L 1.6GHz I'm considering... Is this processor powerfull enough to use in an HTPC box for HD movies up to 1080i? That's the most stressing thing it would ever do - no g...

I should note that I am using the newest Everest to read the temps and the temp I quoted was from the CPU Diode reading. Hovering right around 58-61C...

Thank you for replys and I hope it helps someone else.

:) I've got a Zalman ZM-NB47J Northbridge Cooler passively cooling a VIA C7-D processor as someone had suggested it to me in these forums (where I can't find now...) but the operating temps without much load are now on average 60C (142F).... Isn't that WAY too hot? I can't seem to find what the safe...

Thanks Mike. I've been up to my eyeballs in tech and review reading. I appreciate the nutshell

Hi, In need of a main drive I'm wondering how to put a laptop HDD in my Green PC but... 1) Are there cable adapters for laptop HHD headers to ATX mainboard headers for SATA and/or IDE? 2) Are the laptop HDD's that much more efficient and worth the trouble and cost? I'm sure this has been covered a f...

thanks. wonder why the clown at Newegg reviews said the Arctic Cooling PWM series don't report the fan speeds.

For looks I straight away LOVE the Thermalright XP-90c. Would this cooler be effective with the upcoming Intel Penryn ..if it would fit on the board? Thermalrights site does say it's socket 775 compatible. I want it because it's got an all copper look, like the heat pipe system on my Abit IP35 Pro, ...

I saw that Chris ... but that's dropping 60.00 on a new HR-03 when I have a new HR-03 right here. I just would like to know if anyone has seen anything new for this first edition (regular) HR-03 fitting. Even if I had the money I wouldn't want to spend it without knowing if I have a useless heatsink...

What good fans are there that make full use of fan headers and mainboards with BIO control like the Abit IP35 Pro? I'm not sure what to look for.....4pins...should it say "reports fan speed"? ....does the fan need the molex power? Just use a PWM fan?
