It's for bling

LOL

I thought it was some of that isolation material (you know, the one put around hot pipes...)

Well, anyway, it works real well in the bling sense and yeah, red pcb is so much nicer

[illidan]

black acrylic and for heat.. there is no change with it or without it

Illidan, I forgot to mention that I like what you've done to the PCB. Seems like a good solution to green PCBs. Now imagine that in brushed aluminium.

yea, if u can't paint it put something black on it

brushed alu would be also nice solution

[illidan]

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.

A layer of acrylic underneath it (or something) would solve the problem. I'm a bit scared about just using tape after I fried a card by dropping an LED light on it which I thought had a plastic casing. Turned out it was some cheap metal.

Re-post. I cleaned up the wiring a little for better air flow and a pic of my other (that I sold) air cooled machine.

What happened to my pictures from #3799????????????

[fatguy1992]

I got my HD4870 a few days ago.













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

[Waymon3X6]

Hey how is that cooler on your Gainward 4870?

Hey how is that cooler on your Gainward 4870?

Its awesome , 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

[Mr. HT]

Hey fatguy1992, looks sweet.

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 , i'm fine with the noise, it only increased a very small amount .

How do the cards cope with being passively cooled? I placed an 80mm fan outside my case, right by the output cables, to help remove the heat, works wonderfully.

[OdinEidolon]

how's that xigmatek fan? i like and i was thinking of ordering some, but i dont know if they perform well. Nice rig BTW

I see quite a few rigs with the OCZ memory cooler. Does it work good for you guys? I have one and I think it sucks. Seems to trap more heat than it removes. I like the Antec spot cool. It might not look as good, but it works great.

I have a coolit ram cooler and it works GREAT, when i touched my tracers when it wasnt installed i burnt myself, now they are a lot cooler. Looks a lot better than the OCZ one to me, i modded it with red leds











sorry for the bad cabling, i have too many fans (12) and not enough time!

[pcaddict]

OdinEidolon, are those Xilence fans any good? I was looking those to my HTPC cuz those are so cheap and looks good..

[OdinEidolon]

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.

[pcaddict]

thx, thats good to know.. maybe i just buy few scythe s-flex fan..

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

Works well. It was the fan that came with the xigamtek cooler and just decided to put a stronger fan on it instead so moved the xigmatek as exhaust. It pushes a ton of air and is quiet, but that could be due to the stronger fan on the heatsink pushing more air.

Yah, I was going to order more and stick everywhere but things started to add up in my cart so i decided to hold off on the fans lol.
