Concept 5000-FX you sure won't have any problems fitting a R600 even the OEM version in that case obviously if you're planning to buy this card.

No, any card can be in this case.
But if you take off the 3.5" cage.

ok the pics are a little crappy being i took them with a eye toy i put alot of research into the equipment selected wile saving lota $$$, i got lucky on the zelman heat sink on my GPU, it was miss labeled at the store for only $20 so i took them up on that deal

i found the titan for only $30 because its off brand and you pay for what you get.... well. not in this case. yea the product was made cheaply but a little bit of labor can turn the cheapest of equipment into something nice i just spent several hours lapping the bottom and it works better then anything iv yet seen on the net. im getting around 23-26 degree C idle and no more then 36 full load also some thought into the airflow helped too. the case was default to use the side panel fan as exhaust but i made it a import so that it delivers fresh air to the heat sink and it get sucked in by the fan on that and right out the back by an additional 2 80mm fans so. its pretty close to havening 4 fans on 1 heat sink. just no plastic shroud. im sure if i had some i could make the airflow more directional and get more CFMs flowing though those fins lowing it even more, anyway here are the... sadly crappy quality pics

nice to know that my computer runs at room temp :p

yeah, the link you provided points to the titan amanda which usually retails for around 100.00 dollars ...

man, for 30 bucks, .. i'd buy two!

so your saying it keeps your cpu at the same as room ambient!?

that's pretty darn good considering my modified scythe infinity is usually around 16C *above* room ambient!

you had to install a PCI card to go along with the titan cooler, right?

**Danz409** · 03-06-2007, 11:48 PM

nope just got a nice mirror finish on the bottom of it and 2x fans helping throw out the old hot air and the one on the side providing clean fresh air. if thats the cost of that heat sink im going back and buying a frew more LOL, thats about how much its worth and more.

if you don't have a pci card as well ... then it's most likely not the amanda; the amanda is a TEC air cooler meaning it uses a standard air cooler in conjunction with a thermo-electric cooling element (which is powered/controlled via a pci card) ...

good temps regardless, however ...

my rig in 8/06. it's an e6600 insinde.

**leimrod** · 03-07-2007, 07:48 AM

Here are some pics from my build... *yawn* more tuniq and HR-05 pics

**Sparky** · 03-07-2007, 08:45 AM

I see you used screws and nuts instead of the plastic pushpins on the HR-05 SLI. I'm thinking of doing the same for my HR-05 - part of me just doesn't trust those things....

**leimrod** · 03-07-2007, 09:26 AM

Yeah heres another picture of it, I got sick of the darn thing moving around everytime I had to unplug and replug some sata cables, so I just used some nuts and bolts. The stock push pins have to have the weakest springs i've ever seen.

**enz660** · 03-07-2007, 10:19 AM

leimrod, its nice to see clean & well built systems with organized wiring. Well done my friend.

**jbartlett323** · 03-08-2007, 01:14 PM

this is mine... runs a little warm but never breaks 65C at full load...

**barzi** · 03-08-2007, 01:41 PM

@Danz409: I can get that Titan cooler for 20 euros(new). Do you think it's better than a freezer 7 pro? The freezer has the same price as that titan cooler.
