Vandi423, any reason why you use a fan only on one cpu?

I am working on a thread where I explain everything. As you can see the other CPU doesn't need a fan. Adding a second fan would only disrupt my planned air flow.
anyways that looks sick. I'm not much of a fan of lights, etc but the UV looks great.
That is a great idea with that plexi shroud. And great temps for a 6800, that is semi-passive. How are load temps? With my old 6800 using a VF700Cu I idled in the low 50s.
Time for max go do some shopping at vandis house.. one dual opteron rig in V2000 coming right up ;)
that case really looks good vandi. how did you make the heatsink glow green?
lowfat - the UV in the pics looks much brighter than it does in person. I didn't want it to be too bright because I certainly would not like that. It’s a nice warm glow. :D GPU gets up to 65C on a full load in a warm room. Temps could be even better with a thinner base and heatsink made out of copper. But this was an old A64 HSF.
MaxxxRacer - haha your chipset mod made want to do this. Thanks for posting what you did! :toast: It finally solved my heat and noise problems. That stock cooler was killing me!!!!!
skane - UV paint applied only to the tips of the fins. It looks better in person because it has a pattern to it. I just couldn't get a good picture of it. I applied the paint with a semi-dry Q-tip so makes it look weird like it’s not painted.
one of the best air cooled cases i´seen so bfar,discrete and sober altough very eficient.Nice job there.
Dual opteron 254 system for dad.
Waiting for the dam power supply, but here you go

Z, all that cpu power with that wimpy little gfx card. pretty funny stuff.
Just a gues but its not gonna be a graphics workstation.
lol, yep. we're going to put it into our office, where incoming visitors can use it to simply browse the internet and use microsoft word to print out quick documents. we had 4g's to waste, so we just went ahead and built that for the hell of it.
in fact, when we are done soon, we're planning to chuck the system into a raging fire, and submit a video-clip to ebaumsworld and other humor sites alike... :D
/sarcasm
hehe, its actually going to be used as a server, and most likely, it's also going to be doing some crunch work.
Vandi, that case is awesome! It takes skill to pull the UV look off right. Did you paint the edges of the heatsink with UV paint?
I just rewiered my case. Its nothing compared to any of the stuf here but here is before:

Sorry for the bad pictures I suck at photography.
My temps went waaaay down, from 37 idle down to 31, dipping down to 28 sometimes. Not sure if its too acurate though because my PWMIC went from 43 to 33.
I also noticed that when I put it on top of my desk the temps went up 2 C, is that normal?
Oh and I dont have a fan on my VX because I'm still running it stock volts.
CABLE MANAGEMENT. They need to teach a class or something. It's not that hard. It might be a nice and new system but with poor cable management, it just looks like crap. My opinion.
