Ninja Plus Rev.B touch my "caps"
Hi there..
Just install the beautifully Ninja on my motherboard. Can i ask you what if Scythe Ninja Rev.B touch the caps - basically one capacitor just a little - of my P5WDH?
Is there any serious problem?
-I did not finished my new PC configuration yet- When i 'm done will post pictures..
P180B
P5W DH Dlx
C2D E6600 2,40 GHz
Scythe Rev.B -passive-
Corsair Dominator 2x1024 C4
eVGA 8800 GTS 320MB
Creative X-Fi Platinum
2 x Samsung HD
DVD-RW Plextor 760-A
Seasonic 550 +80 PSU
Nexus Orange Funs
Regards to all..

There is no electrical issue with touching the caps.MrSpok wrote:Just install the beautifully Ninja on my motherboard. Can i ask you what if Scythe Ninja Rev.B touch the caps - basically one capacitor just a little - of my P5WDH?

The problem is mechanical. Because the bracket is pressing on the caps, it is not pressing on the CPU as much as it should be. This impairs the heat flow from the CPU case to the heat sink base, and results in higher temperatures than would otherwise be the case. In extreme cases, the heat sink base is no longer planar with the CPU IHS, so that only a corner or edge is making contact.
As others have suggested, it is best to file the offending part of the base so there is no mechanical interference.

α) Thank you Mr Thomson for the definite answercmthomson wrote: As others have suggested, it is best to file the offending part of the base so there is no mechanical interference.
β)CA_Steve, so..i need a dremel tool for my problem..somewhere on the internet i saw this technique. thanks for your reply

You can file it by hand, however I just go to somewhere that cuts keys and ask them to take a couple of mm of the edge.MrSpok wrote:β)CA_Steve, so..i need a dremel tool for my problem..somewhere on the internet i saw this technique. thanks for your reply
I have a Swiftech heatsink in veeeeery close proximity, if not touching a cap, in my wife's computer. Hasn't blown up in 3 months...
Electrically, it wouldn't be much of a concern, but more of a heat concern. However, I talked myself into thinking that the heatsink would hopefully just help cool the cap if it did touch it

This is my problem...have a look:

I'm going to file it with a grinder and see what comes of it

you need to take that mm off of it. it will make difference for your temperatures since ninja is not making proper contact with your cpu just like cmthomson saidMrSpok wrote:This is my problem...have a look:

same for me but in a more significant way - i was not happy with the situation and gone back to my zalman

After file the offending part of the base..the Ninja is in good repair now (CPU Temp: 30 C)frazered wrote:viewtopic.php?p=312645&highlight=#312645

I took some pictures of my" SPCR inspired" PC. Will post it soon

I'm actually quite happy to pay a bit more money for something I can buy locally from one of the shops here in Darwin,all it takes is a short Bus ride ....
