My Dual Harper - Asus Z7S WS living review *56K warning*

[jt1]

Linpack drains more power than anything else on this planet, so you'd better be on the safe side.

How much wattage would you expect this system to use while running Linpack? My GPU (GeForce 7300GT) shouldn't use too much power ~25W max. I plan on having a pretty minimal system. One hard drive, no optical drive, no network.

You can use the HR-01 X heatsinks, but only with an appropriate case. You need one that features the correct standoffs so you can screw the Thermalrights directly to the mobo tray.

Ideally, I'd like to use a mid-tower ATX case, but from what I can tell, most ATX cases don't have right standoffs. Any recommendations on some good relatively compact cases that'll still fit tall heatsinks? Or maybe I can get a case with a removable tray and just get replacement tray. My current case is a Thermaltake M9.

Currently I am using the Ultima 90 due to the slim chassis that I am using.

Minhgi, what type of NB cooler do you have? Does your case have the right standoffs?


Thanks for the helpful replies.
