Nowadays motherboard has many functional designs, storage interfaces and multimedia support following with more waste heat of north and south chip. Regarding this “Forcetake” releases the sole patented chip cooler that has high performance. Chipforce(JTS-0006) with adjustable heatpipe not only resolves the most crash problems of installing VGA card or other components of motherboard but also has silent feature that uses 21dBA blue led fan. The Chipforce(JTS-0006) with unique “swing” heatpipe design is absolutely your annual best choice of chip cooler. Lets get a better look.

The new JTS-0006 (aka revision 2 of the former JTS-0005) came in a small discreet little box, but all the things you need are in the package including the cooler it self. The box was labeled with a sticker from Forcetake.com but as of yet I haven’t been able to checkout that site seeing it isn’t there

The next shot shows you the full content of whats inside the box, including a full color instruction manual on how to install the cooler.

The JTS-0006 is designed the same way as the JTS-0005, two features do stand out. The heatpipe and fins are made out of copper this time and the old black fan has been replaced by a blue led fan (which is just as silent).

Here are some technical specs;

Next the copper base, which is well protected by a small plastic layer keeping it dust and scratch free (during shipping). By simple tearing of the plastic protection layer the smooth copper base is exposed.

Just to show you how smoothly polished it is, I took a bolt from my case to see it reflection.

I used a DFI-SLI DR for this setup, taking in to account that the chipset gets really hot and even hotter when in full load or when overclocking.

Removing the stock cooler is very easy, no I only have to get the old compound paste of the chipset and it’s ready to be fitted with the JTS-0006.

The JTS-0006 is fastened by two screws, just like you can see in the next shot.

Just tighten the bolts and the only thing I need to do is figuring out on how to position the cooler.

Just to give you a idea of what the exact measurement of the cooler are I made some shots.

Another shot of the length of the cooler….

And of course the copper base could not be left out. But I myself find the measurement of length more important then the rest.

The next shot show the JTS-0006 with the heatpipe drawn inwards….

The next shot shows the JTS-0006 with the heatpipe drawn outwards, which could be useful when installing on SLI capable boards.

Next shot shows me placing the copper base and figuring out what the best setup would be before fastening the cooler.

The next shot shows you that the chosen setup could be a problem when installing cards like the 7800 or 7900GTX cards which take a lot of space. On the other hand this is a perfect setup for two 7900GT cards, they fit like a glove. But more on that later on.

Now its lime to apply some cooling compound and plastic strip so that the cooler wont wobble around when fitted.

All done, looks good don’t it?

As you can see in the next shot, one or two (in SLI) 7900GT will fit like a glove. Larger cards could be a problem, but you can also rotate your setup 90 degrees counterclockwise.

{mospagebreak}
Installing a card like the Crucial ATI X1900XTX is bit of a problem as you can see, but lets try another setup….

Here you can see that I have turned the setup 90 degrees clockwise and it fits. Would I have turned it around 90 degrees counterclockwise than it could also be fixed but remember, your cpu cooler could get in the way.

As you can see plenty of room, for a single card setup.

{mospagebreak}
All is installed and looks pretty cool…. Lets test the little bugger….

Test system used:
- AMD FX60 @ 2600Mhz
- Asus A8N32 SLI/Deluxe
- Corsair XMS TWINX2048-3500LLPRO 2GB Dual Channel Kit
- ASUS nVidia 7900GT PCIe (testing if it fits)
- Crucial X1900XTX PCIe (testing if it fits)
- 1x 74GB Western Digital Raptor 10K
- Lian-Li V2000B "modded" Case

Testing the temperatures we sinple booted the system and left it alone (idle), after which we started stressing the system with SP2004. The results speak for them selfs.

Conclusion
The main changes are that the JTS-0006 is now made out of copper and the silent blue led gives it that little something extra. But the most important changes must be the more effiecient way of getting the heat out of the chipset. It seems that the JTS-0005 can handle more heat and is way more efficient than the JTS-0005. Allthough the JTS-0006 wins by just e few degrees it's able to keep the temperature at a lower level in the lng run.

I have made a small video which displays the temps of the cpu, motherboard as well as the chipset during a stress test. Allthough it's hard to see, the temps of both the cpu and board go way up but the chipset keeps cool.

If you are looking for a alternative silent chipset cooler which can handle in a very effiecient way, then i would recommend that you checkout the ForceTake JTS-0006.

Pros:
- 4cm silent 21 dBA blue led fan.
- Nice copper design
- Tube copper base provides good heat transfer.
- Easy to install on all motherboards.
- Very good performance overall.

Cons:
- none
