Probably more rigorous DIY is needed by replacing the whole metal-plate (and fasten the Tower in a different way).

I would probably go back to the old mounting method for the heatsink plus separate VRM heatsinks, I suspect that will provide a better setup since you can get better contact with the individual VRM heatsinks.

Yes that is the idea... and some additional Fan's as well.

if you're serious about mounting the radiator the old way (turn the radiator 90^o, using the long bar/plate) and mounted using the two holes (the one to the right of the 10 pin and the other on the opposite side of the ASIC) - depending on which radiator they used as well, I've got the hardware to do it..

  I still have some of the plates, etc. to put it all together (similar to what I put together for the "Super Jup").
  I'm also working on a base/mount that you can put all the boards on (similar to the Jupiter)

  Any design ideas are very welcome!

I'm interested, I saw your work for the "Super Jup" and it was impressive! Are you thinking of something where we remove the Neptunes from their cubes and mount them on your base, plus associated plates and pieces? Or, are you going even further and thinking of a rackmount unit of some kind Shocked

I was thinking along the lines of a base with the boards mounted (5) five abreast, mounted using risers at the corners (10mm - 20mm) to keep the boards higher up to allow airflow underneath. As well, utilizing the plate and spacers (if an Arctic radiator), to get that brick off the VRMs.

Just a thought ...
