my backup rig. loudest part of it is the hdd:
Nothing special, I just upgraded to a Gigabyte 3d Aurora. I still have a few wires to tie down/hide. Nice roomy case, good air flow and QUIET!

To lazy to buy a case, so it sits in a corner under... a makeshift desk. Just moved so.. no cash to buy good stuff... all.. dry...
Oh, and that 6800 there will have a nv5 on it eventually. I just have to repair the fan leads. Last card wouldnt give it up.
About to switch to watercooling, but the zalmans have served me well :toast:

Here are a few photos of my rigs cooling. Not only do i have two 80mm front intakes, but two 80mm side intakes, an 80mm rear exhaust, and another 80mm top blowhole. ALL are panaflo H1A fans. The CPU is cooled by a 92mm Panaflu U1A fan and stuck to that is a Delta 70mm fan blowing cold air directly over my memory.

Closeup of the ram cooler. At 2.9v they are ice cold. Before the mod they got pretty damned warm.

My modified Vantec Iceberq GPU cooler. After a little time with the dremel grinding out sections so they wouldn't touch various motherboard components, it dropped my chipset temp around 8'c under full load. Now it hovers around 27'c under full load.

I also have an Arcic silencer on 7800gt video card and will soon be volt modding it with some 5k and 10k variable resistors i picked up today at frys.
what's about this? dual 60mm ram cooler

Still runs very quiet... the Tornado gets cranked up with the fan controller for benching...
I let the picture speak for it self :toast: Quiet as fu*k and still overclocks hard

Is that a Tt heatsink attached to your NB? :stick: :banana:
And what are the three sinks next to the (I think) floppy connector for? They seem to float above some other sinks...? And I can't imagine what chips would be there.
The chipsetcooler is a modded arcticfreezer.Quote:

Details from the mainboard cooling, also had to make a special tool for the job!

very nice passive 'sinking ArcticOC

i got a 3700+ here just begging for 3ghz on air.
so i should get the TT-BT then?
if the fan is too noisy i can just change it.
the TT-BT is a great choice, VERY quiet fan
heres my rig, just re-wired :D

The 9500 and VF700 are incredible. I picked up automatically a few more Hz with them. CPU up to 2.8Ghz from 2.7Ghz and GPU is at 585/600 and I have not tried to OC it more yet. The temps are great 25ºC/36ºC on the CPU and 28ºC/45~50ºC on the GPU (Idle/Load)
Alex
Very nice man:clap:
What cpu cooler did you have before the 9500?
I had a CNPS 7000Cu LED..... I can OC the CPU even more, but I need a better PSU. I was prime stable at 2.8+ Ghz, but wouldnt game. My guess is that the PSU didnt have juice for both CPU and GPU.
