Hi,

I'm new here and have a request.
I ordered a new MSI X48 Platinum motherboard and I was wondering which kind of coolingparts I should take.

This since the mobo has a CPU, NorthBridge and 2 chipsets it seems... ( the pictures arn't that good... ).

The factory heattube has to go ofcourse

thnx in advance

Anybody? :/

For the CPU & northbridge I have found my things, It's just the chipsets i'm worried about.

Are those 2 identical normal sized chipsets or something else...

I finaly got my lovely mobo MSI X48.

After 3 day's of browsing the shop and looking I have found only the following:

- CPU block : OK
- NorthBridge : OK
- Chipset : OK

So I miss:
Voltage regulators & the PCI-Expander.
The PCI-expander has a very small distance between the 2 attachpoints (~43mm) and needs to be arround 30mm x 30mm block. ( PIC )

As you can see on the pictures the voltage regulator is a whole different mather...
PIC
