Thermalright LGA775 Bolt-Thru-Kit and Scythe Ninja B?
I've been reading about the dificulty people are having with the mounting system used on the Sycythe Ninja B and Socket 775 but I'm still not sure if I read this correctly.
Can you use the Thermalright LGA775 Bolt-Thru-Kit http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main ... 75_kit.htm to mount a Ninja?
I'm assuming you might need to modify it somehow or only use parts from it but it looks much better than the stupid little plastic pushpin things.

Even with the Ninja, you may be able to get your hands on just the backplate pack of the ultra 120. I believe they do sell just the mounting hardware for LGA 775. You can use the backplate from this kit with the Ninja and some screws to hard mount the ninja instead of using the Ninja's push/pin mounting system.

How about this instead? Would using the 478 adapter on the Ninja Rev. B and this kit work better than the push pins? The reason I'm not getting an Ultra 120 is because I will be passively cooling my C2D and, based on this forum, the Ninja is a better heatsink for that.
More spaced fins equal better cooling passively. Tigher fins means higher airflow is needed to pass the entire length of the fins, making it harder to cool but with higher airflow that isn't a problem. But higher airflow means a louder fan. Careful with the Rev B though, don't go assuming the 478 bracket that comes with it is any better because, the 478 mounting for the RevB just plainly sucks compared to the RevA version. Reason being the RevB's 478 is much too large, and covers a lot more capacitors than the RevA. It just screws stuff up.
Isn't that the 775 bolt throught kit I linked to in the first post or do you mean something different?derekchinese wrote:Even with the Ninja, you may be able to get your hands on just the backplate pack of the ultra 120.

Why pay extra just to be able to use a poorly designed product properly?!? the best way to make sure Scythe rectify the problem with the cooler mounting poorly on skt 775 is for people to stop buying it.
I returned my Ninja and went for the Noctua NH12-UF instead. The overall package quality is so much better than the Ninja its untrue, a proper bolt-thru mount, clear instructions and a cooler that is very well made and is currently keeping both cores of my E6600 at a steady 46 degrees as I run Orthos, Super Pi and write this.
If the Ninja was in a completely different league to every other cooler I could understand the desire to jump through hoops to make it fit, but there are plenty of alternatives that will cool just as quietly and efficiently, so until Scythe learn that the push-pin mount just isn't reliable, stuff 'em!

Not at the moment, I'm using the bundled fan, although I'm having a play with it and I'll see how it does with the fan switched off.ck8-04 wrote:Are you operating the Noctua passively?
I've just disconnected the fan on the heatsink and I'm running Orthos, temps are between 59 and 62 on both cores with the two 120s in the case on low. I'll leave it running for a while and keep an eye on it.
My E6600 is running at stock speed and voltage at the moment
Yeap ... look at what this guy did :

Aha, so all you have to do is add some washers.scorp wrote:Yeap ... look at what this guy did :

It looks promising but I wish that guy wouldn't have been overclocking so we could see what temperatures he would have gotten.
Oh well, he use an E6400 instead of the E6600 I want to get so it's hard to compare anyway.
the bolt through modification dramatically affects your temps.dentaku wrote:Aha, so all you have to do is add some washers.

i've done the same thing on a scythe infinity i'm using with my E6400.

the thermalright mounting kit will work but you'll simply use the backplate, springs and screws ... with the addition of some washers to make everything safe.
