Ninja CU on MSI P6N SLI V2

[atik]

yeh.. but i cant.. the fan blades are hittig against the cooling fins. is there any method to make it possible? maybe some distance piece or stuff?

Then your fan is not sitting correctly yet! I've been using Mugen and Ninja in push & pull with 2 fans w/o any problems but the pulling fan must be mounted carefully. If done so the blades will not hit the fins. It's a narrow thing but it works definitely.

If you are not able to mount it properly you could only use accessoires for water cooling like this one:

well thanks.. that was wad i needet to know.. but i think this watercooling thingies are really ugly.. so i thing i will try that again.. and if it doesnt work i will build something on my own..


or such a antivibration parts would work to,, right? like this one

surely without using screws

That should work - the brackets will need a little bending as the distance between cooler and holes of the fan increases a bit but that's no problem at all.

Anyway it should work w/o extras as well - 1mm to top/bottom/left/right can make the difference so the fan spins freely and doesn't interfere with Ninja's fins.

yeah i tried it out but i wasnt able to mount it correctly.. finally i got it but 10 minutes later i opened my DVD-writher and then it crashed again....

ah but i saw another thing.. the cooler was mounted correctly on the cpu but when i touch the cooler i can move it about 2mm in each direction.. is it normal?


maybe its just because his hugeness, or maybe the mainboard is a bit flexible.. but i want to be sure.

[Oli]

Yes, it is normal that you can move it around a little bit.
