Yes, it will house (and power) a 5970. I prefer nVidia though.

I also have an i5 760 @ 4ghz (see sig).

What kind of psu is there? sfx? and wattage?

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

It's a standard psu with custom length cables. 600w, 46A.

Here's the stats for the case and psu: silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php?pno=SG07&area=usa

Mini itx is becoming somewhat mainstream with support for high end CPUs, gpus and OCing options.

Exchanged the HD4550 for a GTS450.

[karbonkid]

@Laine, I always love your builds dude... but this one is really special.

[gatecrasherlok]

Laine how much power consumption is that thing drawing from the mains?

[Kain665]

So how's the SuperMega perform?

[RSC]

poparamiro, when will you test the Zalman CNPS9900 MAX?

[poparamiro]

Soon i will do some preliminary tests with Supermega (i expect to do a little better than Megashadow, on some settings) .

Regarding Zalman, no place for 9900 MAX in my future supercoolers article. I expect from Zalman to come with good tower or twin tower arhitecture for successfully compete with supercoolers.

I'm most interested in the SuperMega release for the 140mm fan clips and mounting system to allow mounting of 140mm fans.

[rintamarotta]

Lets go ghetto mode.

Zip-tie mounted AMD Copper heatpipe cooler and cardboard box air duct and 120mm fan.

Below the cooler intel i3 540, this is going to be my htpc.

Just finished upgrading my cooling

looks cool. please fit two more 120mm fans (push/pull) on cpu-hs and take another pic if possible

And include in the picture a pole-mounted fan blowing on the whole rig.

Here is my computer about a year ago in August, I have switched over to watercooling on the cpu but I still think the Thermalright ifx-14 looked nice

[ScottALot]

Matt220, you should take the fan on the heatsink to the left and put it on the right, pushing... I don't think it'll hit the memory if that's your concern.

He can't hear you. He's on water now.

[matt220]

ahah, yes karbonkid but the water makes my computer quiet so I can certainly hear him now

I actually found the temps to be better in that configuration surprisingly, because the 2000rpm fans were actually forcing the air into the case fan. oh well, Im liquefied now!

[Hidamari295GTX]

my gaming rig in the college~

[Kingcarcas]

lol what's up with those stickers?

[lkiller123]

He uses them to cover up the crappy labels of the PSU, something like 80PLUS certified.

Glad to see another Chinese on XS

[Hidamari295GTX]

lol what's up with those stickers?

oh, that power supply sucks. I bought it on 360buy which is quite a famous IT retail website in China. The PSU cost me RMB299, and after I got it I was astonished to find out that its PCB, filing up only half of the PSU's interior, is just the same as a 300W supply.

[ehume]

299RMB/7.5 = $40US or so
