Silverstone TJ-06 case and nForce 4 Socket 939 motherboard..

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd (More info?)

I'm trying to find motherboards that are compatible with the wind tunnel in
the Silverstone TJ-06 case. The TJ-06 is an upside down ATX case with a
wind tunnel at the bottom and will help lower temps 2-5C when the wind
tunnel is used. However with socket 939 nForce 4 the CPU socket can be
placed in locations that are incompatible with wind tunnel



It appears the DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D won't



ASUS AN8-SLI deluxe definitely will



Abit Fatality AN8 looks like a maybe



If you have TJ-06 and are using the wind tunnel with an nForce 939 board
could you please post what board you are using



Currently I'm just in the R&D stage in upgrading a NF-7S 2500XP-M System to
an A64 nForce 939

To answer the other poster, no list of boards they only advise that if the
socket is located towards the middle it won't fit. I.E. MSI K8N Neo2
Platinum and the DFI NF3 board. Any board with the memory slots stuck at
the top basically.

It's an NF3 board but I'm using an Epox 9NDA3+ in mine. Nice case but holy
hell what a pain in the ass. Started day one when my practically new 480w
Antec couldn't reach the 20-pin connector on my nf2 board, had to buy an
extender off ebay. Every component has to be thought out ahead of time or
else you can get stuck. The mobo being key...good luck
