Hey Futs, The ramsinks I am using are quite big, 20x20x13mm, but they are effective - similar, or actually better than the older Tweakmonster Ramsinks. But, both work very, very well if you provide a little airflow across them, with a fan - especially for those heavy benching/overclocking sessions, ...

So take of the Otes Fan.....that should not limit you - the Fatality is a very neat mobo, you wanna go and waste money for nothing.

2 screws, and it's off. You will any way need a small fan to cool surounding components, any board you choose.

Keep what you have, it is a very good board.

but the cards get so damn ugly when you do that!!!!

But effective

I am back, with some final gfx action shots: At least they are complete now, so it is sitting back and relax, awaiting my reservoir :( It is a good thing I have a 4800+ Dual-core to work on while I am modding this FX55/SLi beastie :) Wife complaining me taking over her PC, but, such is life. I have ...

Ok, some update, this is what I have been doing for the last 2 or so hours: Fitting Maze4 waterblocks, and Akust ramsinks to my 2x 7800GTX cards. Let me know what you think. I have 2x Maze4 acetal 3/8" blocks, and 24x Akust 20x20x13.5mm all-copper BGA ramsinks - they are monsters! Why 24? well,...

Yip, I got my one colleague th 2750, nice in it's own way.

Ergonomically beter designed than my magnesium-cased 4700

I have a HP4150 and a HX4700.

I use it a lot for work-related matters. The 4" screen on the HX4700 is fantastic. 480x600 VGA.

Nice.

pics?

Guys guys guys - all of these are nVidia, manufactured by nVidia, and distributed by nVidia to the different vendors, who sometimes put their own little sticker on the fan, if you're lucky. You start paying extra when going for eg BFG, which has hand-selected chips (cherry-picked) and comes clocked ...

Buy a BTX case, and the gpu sits on top. Simple, really.

Get yourself an Aopen 450W at Rectron - very good vaue for money. It will last you for a few years.

If you want to spend big bucks, get OCZ or Enermax, best, PC Power & Cooling, but, for day-day use, I'd recommend the Aopen 450-500W range.

Enjoy.

Erm Wikid....I hate to say but yours looks worse

How do i fix this??

With patience and hard work

Both shipping options will take about the same time, 10-14 days to get here. Use the Economy from Fedex, if not Fedex economy, use the faster option.

I would choose one with Storm waterblock

That temp is fine.

how do you get it to look so neat looks perfect Ah, just some manual labour ;) a Few tools, a little skill, and a lot of patience...hehe Just a question MrBean, why did you chose Blue sleeving? why not black to go with the cooler? Mmm...my previous VapoLS/AbitMax3 mod was just black. This time I de...

What P4? Northwood or Prescott? What speed rating. I need to know this before I can help.

Tubing seems ok, don't know it, but the description says it can bend to tight radii - so, should be good. Maybe you need to google it, and check out a few reviews, that would be your safest bet, should you wanna be failsafe..... Otherwise Tygon is guaranteed very flexible, I can vouch for it, as I h...

you're welcome

Probably 3-4 deg C. Just the looks of the block makes it for me. Remember, it should come with black acetal top to complement the Maze4.

DJV: Be careful with that size tubing, it is huge. My 3/8" id - 5/8" od Tygon is already very big. 15.875mm dia to be precise. So, make sure you have space to route 19mm dia tubing in your case. It is going to be difficult, much more than you think. I urge you to reconsider, and get 3/8&qu...

Thanx for the comments, Guys, yes, the shrink-sleeving will go Unanimous vote from everyone over here, and SystemShock.

Thought so myself, but wanted to get 2nd opinion.

HappyNew Year to all you guys and gals, may it be a good one!

Will keep you posted,
Beanie

yes

Ceramique works better for me, but I use it mostly at way below Zero Deg C, mostly -40 to -50 or so on the VapoLS.

AS5 doesn't work so well here.

For closer to ambient, you would probably be better of by 1deg C using AS5, but ease of installation/cleaning would have me favor Ceramique.
