That is a real nice idea, Dunno how you guys call it over there, but its for heat dissipation isn't it?Quote:

Seriously who like that pcb green? Hmm I need some black acrylic

Well, anyway, it works real well in the bling sense and yeah, red pcb is so much nicer ;)
black acrylic :) and for heat.. there is no change with it or without it :)
yea, if u can't paint it put something black on it :DQuote:

but it won't touch it metal to metal. i have used doublesided 3M tape to put it on those screws
Hey, it's overrated. :p:Quote:

I also got 2 more Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000rpm fans, I added one onto my IFX-14 and the other is blowing on my RAM :D
Hey how is that cooler on your Gainward 4870?
Its awesome :D, I get like 61C load temps. The stock cooler (from what I have read in reviews) gets 81C +, also my room temp would be about the same as their's. Also when I overclock to 800MHz the temps did go up :DQuote:

How loud is your PC with those 3 Kaze's? I'm running 1 and it sounds like a jet engine...
I'm assuming you have the 3,000s, right?
THX, yeah I have the 3000's :D, i'm fine with the noise, it only increased a very small amount :).Quote:

sorry for the bad cabling, i have too many fans (12) and not enough time!
OdinEidolon, are those Xilence fans any good? I was looking those to my HTPC cuz those are so cheap and looks good..
no, sorry, they are crap. they were only 2 euros each, so i bought some. They are silent (run @1200RPM, not the specified 1400 xilence claims) but they barely push any air.Quote:

They are not passively cooled, there are 2 100mm scythe kaze slim (2000rpm version) fans on each of the accelero's, they keep it around 32C idle, with the side panel open of course :DQuote:

All stock! The big hunk of cardboard in the middle is an air duct from the intake fan over the passively cooled chipset. That thing got burning hot under load. Piece of cardboard over the video card is a cold air intake :p:
Cable management isn't to horrid for a P180, wish I could do something about the ATX cable though. About the motherboard, it is ECS, I didn't pay for it, I got it for free. Works for me and hasn't given me a problem.
Wow hahahhaha
Re-defining GHETTO MOD !
I did worse than that in the past, wish I had pics :D
Well if cardboard works, then why not. I'd get one of those fan kit things that mount to the PCI slots and let you put a fan wherever you want.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...e/IMG_2090.jpg
That would involve money, I am much to cheap for a $4.99 bracket and a $2.99 fan:p:
And you're housing it in a P180? Did you get that for free too? :p:
I happen to like the P180.Quote:

Is that a shroud off a ATI card and a Intel OEM cooler? Pretty slick :cool:
BossBorot, is that thing cooling ram? if it is, you should buy ocz xtc ram cooler..
Over priced, ugly, and loud. I regret purchasing one :down: It now sits in a box somewhere. After a few weeks one fan started scratching the casing or something and made a rather annoying noise. The fans didn't push much air either and weren't exactly silent. A yate @ 5v ghetto mounted is cheaper and more effective.Quote:

I'm not using mine either. I like my 92MM UV green fan better :)
I had OCZ XTX Cooler and I was suprised from the noise of two 60mm fans...It had 3700rpm,official specification is 3000rpm...it is very loud cooler:(
LOL I beat its not as loud as my 3x Scythe Ultra Kaze fans 3000rpm :DQuote:

If you look at the 4870 cooler, which this came from, it gets smaller at the end and just so happens to change size just as it hits the northbridge. It also hits the 24 pin power connector on the other side. These two connection points keep it firmly in place. I can shake my computer and even turn it upside down and it stays in place.
Edit: after looking at it more it also hits one of the bolts on my bolt through kit and one of the push pins on the northbridge to help keep it in place. Also it cant sit any lower then it is in the pic due to the height of the ram itself, which hits the top of the cooler.
here is another pic. It sits low enough to minimize airflow loss due to air escaping from the sides.

Just set them to 5 volts like I did
is there any aftermarket cooler for 7950gx2? runs pretty hot :/
There's usually never any aftermarket cooler for anything with a X2 in it, unless you wanna watercool, you're outta luck
u can use 2x hr03 i think, but it would be vary heavy and massiveQuote:

I just say: there only six fans, look at the mirror. The Scythe Musashi will be released at the first week of october in Germany. What's about the rest of europe i can't tell anything, sorry. The performance ist great! The first test can u read in the Hardwareluxx [printed] magazine (german mag). ;)

My system at the moment. Cables are messy, I'm going to fix that.
My CPU cooler (Scythe Mugen/Infinity) is barely compatible with my motherboard. See pics for clearance :D
By the way sorry for overlighting, pics were made with a 5MP Nokia N95, it has a way too bright flash.

Can you still buy those original HR-05 SLI heatsinks>? I prefer them over the IFX flames style.
In germany you can, don't know how it is in other parts of the world. http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a309191.html
But my HR is very old. ;)
Nice pics. I'm not too into the flame style either. To me it just looks like lost surface area where metal could be, especially with the IFX-14. :shrug:
keep it coming people :D
but, I dont get about 100000€ in month, I get about 1700€ in month.Quote:

After a few tweaks. not sure if I can do better without drilling holes on the board. Lian-li PC-G7 really is not a good case for wire management. I would pick A16 if I could have started over.

I am expecting my Thermalright HR-07 H. Time to void the G. Skill warranty.
I have thought about building a thermalright city but I cannot come up with a good way to deal with the mosfet part of my Abit IP35 pro.
I only play CounterStrike and WOW so currently dont have a plan for a fancy video card.
Thanks for your time

Good old Corsair. :up:
BTW: sry for bad images. :(
CABLE TIE GUY, are any of those fans undervolted or on a fan controller? That must get pretty noisy if not. You should get rid of the blue sticker on the front of the RAM cooler, it looks so much better without it.
