Just switched from a P160 to the 900. I also posted this in the 900 review thread. Here is what I got after some cable management :)

i like him, the temps are on the level like the ninja, maybe a few degrees higher (2-4°). But i must use these cooler, because the ninja blocks the ramslots and i want to use all 4 of them.Quote:

Tommy_Hewitt what case is that? And no ramsinks on your X1900XT...?
A Lian Li G70 B with a Lian Li PC-71 Windowkit.

I love this Case. Much space in the inside and you can mount many 120mm fans. Vvery important for me, cause I'm a silentfreak :D
The RAMs of my X1900XT aren't very hot, so I don't need the RAMsinks ;).
OK I wasn't sure on the RAM, I have the X1900XT as well and I've heard both "no you don't need ramsinks" and others saying "yes you do" so I thought it would be best to just play it safe. But then, I guess you do have that fan blowing down on the ram so that probably helps quite a bit :)
I think GDDR3 don't need much cooling. Maybe, when you overclock a lot.....but mine only run at 800Mhz (1600Mhz) :). And the card still works great. The bigger problems are the PWMs, they get (or become? Sry, I'm not very good in english ^^) really hot. Sometimes 90°C and more

money for an better cooler is out, but on the next weeks it's be perfekt.

Mobo is a DFI NF4 Ultra-D. The Sataports aren't placed weird, why do you think so?......and you only have to plugin the 4pin Connector when you use SLI
deepsilver your cable managment reminds me of my case :p:
He has a PCI SATA controller card in that slot, that is why some of those cables go over there.
Tommy_Hewitt, my vregs on my X1900XT rarely get over 65 C, but the cooler I have on there cools them really well. But my core runs hotter than yours does I'm sure so it is a tradeoff I guess.
the board is an dfi lanparty ultra-d, but the satacabel are ok (i thik). :DQuote:

Vregs are PWMs, aren't they? If yes: 65°C are really good. Which cooler do you have on them? How many ° has your core? I have 68°C load and 37° Idle, but i would prefer cold PWMs to a cool core.Quote:

Here is a little review I did of it. Warning, it is picture heavy, so it has a 56K warning. My first review, probably not the highest quality one, but it gives you an idea of what it looks like and how it performed for me. And I was wrong, the vregs/PWMs got to 66 C not 65 C but no big deal, 65 C was an easier number to remember :p:
Hey, I've already read your review. Nice shots of the card. I like the cooler, looks gread, but the HR-03 is also a very beautyful cooler :)
Back to topic. Looks great but makes lots of noise xD
