Custom Heatsink thread

[dengyong]

This isn't exactly custom.... I'm putting together a mini itx box for my new shop and couldn't decide on a cpu cooler for the E8600.
I wanted something better than the stock intel cooler but all the good ones (quiet) seemed a little too expensive for this cheap, recycle build.
I had an unused stock i7 920 heatsink on the shelf, so I removed the fan and mounted it with #8-32 machine screws, and made the wire loop at the top from electric fence wire.
It's kinda ghetto but I think it will work well with a quiet 120mm fan laying on top which will cover the NB heatsink as well.
The two heatsinks touch, but still sit flat and well centered on their chips.
I'll have to wait until tuesday, when the Silverstone SG-05-B arrives to test it.
