Aw.... Was going to get the OCZ. Looks damn nice compared to the Corsair unit. If it's not much of a trouble, can you take a pic of the corsair unit on ur mobo esp. on the clearance space between ur gfx and dominator fan?Originally Posted by theonlybabyface
Yup. Didn't fit so I bought the Corsair unit and it fits/works perfectly.
I'm kinda worried coz i have less than 5mm clearance space between my ram slots and my 7900gt. What will happen if part of the fan touches the gfx? Will it burn it (short circuit? )
p.s. Found this small review on newegg:
Pros: Looks very nice, and build appears quite solid. Nice braided electrical connection
Cons: In a bad axe 2 ( 975xbx2 ) you cannot fit both a 7900 gt or larger video card in pcie A (1) in conjunction with a CORSAIR CMXAF1 Fan. The video board is too long for it. And, that pcie slot is the only one on the bad axe 2 that has true 16 pcie. Also, very tricky to get the fan clipped onto the memory clips. Be really really careful because a bit of force is needed, and if you slip, you will most definitely be sorry.
Other Thoughts: I unfortunately never got a chance to experience the true performance of this fan because I couldnt use it in my system. It was built solidly, and I have no doubt it would work well, but if da glove don't fit...u must acquit....
