Re: 2000 GTP: Relay Addiction.
Kinda my thoughts as well, but I figured I'd try it out. I don't know about longevity, but so far it seems as good as normal AS5. Better? I doubt it, but at least it's readily available. I think I did find some of that info during my reading on the subject, let me see what I can't find

Re: 2000 GTP: Relay Addiction.
It should have 4 cores, but real temp only shows the 2. I restarted to check what CMOS showed the temp as and it wouldn't POST so I shut it off. DOing so I noticed I could feel the case hum... a feeling I've felt before. I knew there was a bad ground, I unplugged power and it went away. I ran the power cable to another outlet, no hum feeling so I started it up and here I sit, lol. Temperatures in Real Temp still show 55-58*C on one and 50-55*C on the other. They do drop below 50*C every so often. I might try Gigabyte's program and see what it says.

Re: 2000 GTP: Relay Addiction.
HW monitor is showing 2 cores as well. I wonder if my motherboard supports 4 cores. I'll look it up too. HW monitor is showing 33*C on the motherboard and 48*C and 44*C on the 2 cores. Looks like Real Temp is higher by about 5-10*C at any given time.

Re: 2000 GTP: Relay Addiction.
Lemme shut it down and tighten up my CPU cooler a bit more. It's one of the sandwich plate things so I'm always paranoid of over-tightening them lol. I'm not sure if this BIOS shows me the number of cores or not. The latest revision was 6 years ago, lol. Gigabyte's site says it support Core 2 Quad Extremes, but I seem to remember it only being on Rev. 3.3, even though I can't find that statement anywhere on their site.

Re: 2000 GTP: Relay Addiction.
Got the 9c1 fans in. I dunno who thought it was a direct swap, but I wanna smack them. hard. The phyically go right in for the most part, but the passenger motor is about 1\8-1\4 inch away from the header. Good thing I have poly dog bones, so they won't move. I might try and track down 6 inches of header wrap and cover it a bit. I ended up using the factory radiator brackets, but I had to bend the passenger side one up a little. I'll have pics later. I'm inside cooling off for a bit now. it's HOT. Here's the 2 fnas, stock on top, 9C1 on bottom. Heat shield came off of the 9C1 during install:

Re: 2000 GTP: Relay Addiction.
lol. At least it's plug and play, but not direct bolt in. I just hope these do better than the factory fans, and that 1\4 inch is enough of a gap from the headers. So far it's one of those things that if I knew what I had to do to make them fit in the beginning it wouldn't have been hard. That right ear for the bolt on the side? cut about 1\2 inch off, and elongate the hole about 1\4-1\2 inch into toward the radiator (optional. cutting is a must though, it hits the low coolant sensor). The "strap" that holds the radiator to the cor support on each side? Driver side, you pull the rubber thing out and have the metal bracket hold the fans to the radiator and the radiator to the front. Passenger side, remove rubber, hammer the long part flat, so it's just a 90* bracket at that point. Hold it up and hold the fans\radiator where it needs to be, mark the bracket where the bend needs to be and bend it. HOPEFULLY there won't be anymore problems from those things, let me go grab some pics.

Re: 2000 GTP: Relay Addiction.
No, I was just messing with you. I used to tell people all the time that the were pulling so many amps that they were going to have to cut the insulation like the belly of a snake to get to the battery. I see you added the brass terminal to accommodate the extra wires. Mine is top post so I am going a different route. I have a top post with 2 1/0, and 3 6ga coming out.

Re: 2000 GTP: Relay Addiction.
I was thinking of doing something like that when I had to get a new battery, I need to measure and see what the biggest I can fit in there is. I ended up pulling the fans out again since i wasn't comfortable with how close the headers were. I was able to massage the fan's motor a little bit to get more room, then I glued a piece of header wrap to it. Will it help\work? Who knows.
Cooler, has three bolts holding it in, 1 on top and 2 on bottom. I think it might be a hair crooked. Good thing no one can see it, lol.
Lines underneath. Thankfully I don't see much rust. I'll wipe it down when everything is back together just to make sure:
Lines up top, fans still drying in the sun:
I miss having a garage to work in...
