Totally wrong, it's a Club3D HD3870 Passive Cooling

Oups...then i was mistaken

...but it shore looks like a x1950

I have been lurking around the air cooling forums for quite some time.

Here´s my new TRUE:

The fan is a Scythe S-Flex 120 1200RPM.

Nice looking cat on your avatar, Kolapso

A little sad looking though ...

**Kolapso** · 05-13-2008, 04:01 AM

It´s not sad, it´s cute, but more on the point, now that i have the true im thinking of a starting OC of 3.0Ghz, anything that i should think about before i begin? This would shamefully be my first overclock, but you have to start somewhere, right?

Still a work in progress
tj07 fully "air" cooled.

How are the graphics cards temps? It seems to me that the tj-07 has horrible GPU cooling. Also, are those 2 intake fans, on the front panel?And if yes, did you install them after the 2 graphics cards?I would be interested in a before/after temp comparison.

Before the two front 120mm intakes I had just the two 120mm stock exhausts at the top with the two 92mm fans on the back as intakes. My GPU temp before the front intakes were at 60/58 now with the two intakes my current gpu temps are around 58/50. The temps on my first gtx only improved 1-2 degrees while the 2nd a whole 8-10 degrees. I’m sure my load temps has improved, haven’t done a long gaming session to give you load temps yet!

A huge noticeable increase was my CPU temps. Before the two front intakes I had my TRUE 120 blowing air upwards ( was blowing hot air from the gpus), after rotating my TRUE to blow air towards the back I went from 39-42 degrees idle to a steady 32 on all 4 cores.

You may very well be able to do your 3ghz oc with stock volts. Simply raise fsb to 333. If it's not stable then play with voltage.

Alrite peeps

Below is a pic of my case and coolin etc

Inside Comp Antec 900 = http://www.liquid-network.net/reapa/comp/modded.JPG

GFX Card = http://www.liquid-network.net/reapa/comp/radeon3870.JPG

and im going to be making a fan speed controller for a fan i took off a Rover Engine that was getting scrapped.

Fan = http://www.liquid-network.net/reapa/comp/fan.JPG

reason i need the fan controller is when i have it powered up without one it runs at full rpm and it is very very loud nice jet in me room tbh.

Also got to do some wire management which i may do soon.

Cheers

Chris.

Too many drives and I need 'em all.
The 12"x6" universal flange covers 2-12cm side intakes and delivers fresh Maine air where I want it.

just hope noone dumps water down that pipe, lol

so you're saying your intakes are the two on the front...while your exhausts are the two on top & two at the rear...?
