Summary...

  The construction of the UH X2 is relatively simple requiring only basic hand tools and common materials.  Keep in mind that although the UH X2 does indeed cool as well or better than most available conventional socket heatsinks, I believe that only those in need of freeing up all their motherboard's DIMM slots will find constructing their own UH X2 an attractive and worthwhile project.  I would also be interested in anyone else's UH X2 type project that perhaps adapts Nidec's larger brother to the Gamma 28 the Gamma 30 (available from PLYCON Computers).  I myself could not figure out a way to gracefully attach the Gamma 30 to the FDP-32 hence my choice of the dual Gamma 28 blower setup.

  I have already received many emails regarding UH X2 projects that were launched a while back just using the peek photo I presented in a news update.   That alone proves the simplicity of the project as detailed instructions were not required nor used.  Please also note that if you give PLYCON Computers a call, they just might sell you a dual Gamma 28 setup including the 4 pin power connector and appropriate bolts and spacers all ready to go saving you a bit of time hunting down those parts on your own.

 

 

 

  Special thanks to PLYCON Computers for supplying the Gamma 28 blowers for this project.

 

 

Addendum (03/15/00)

  While running the UH X2 on my heatsink test rig I decided to do a little experimenting.  Realizing that the second Gamma 28 blower might be suffering from a slight restriction to it's available intake air supply due to it's close proximity to the first Gamma 28 I decided to cut away a small strip of the shroud.  I removed a 3/8" x 2" strip of material from directly between the two blowers which took about 3 seconds with a pair of scissors.  Though there was only a very slight performance gain (about .2f cooler) I figure every little bit helps.

Slight modification to the UH X2 shroud.

I removed a 3/8" x 2" strip from the shroud to slightly improve cooling performance.
