Are the new P180 fan clips for sale?

According the the P180 postscript theres the new clips you can put in the mid chamber

http://www.silentpcreview.com/article255-page13.html

I was wondering if Antec or anyone are going to be selling these clips? I'd really like to use them as my vid card is definately running hot in the summer.

In regards to installing a Ninja in a DFI or Asus, once again having done both :D, I can tell you its alot better with the Asus. The spacing around the mobo is the same so its not a clearance issue with either, but the stock backplate that comes with the asus is compatible with the clip that you nee...

had to dig up this old thread since it refers to the Riva Tuner. :D Currently am using this with the above method of it ramping up for higher temps. My question is it seems the lowest fan speed available on the Riva Tuner is 25%. Is there anyway to get lower than this because even at 25% my XFX 7800...

having owned both of these and currently running the Asus, I would recommend the Asus. The DFI NB is exteremly loud and whiney, there are some mods for it but why not just spend the extra ~30 and not have to pay for the mod and waste time installing it. Plus you'll have SLI down the road if you choo...

Asus A8N Premium + P180 Hard Drive LED

Wasn't sure if this belonged in here or motherboards. Has anyone been able to get the LED that shows IDE / SATA activity to work? I used to have an IDE drive with a DFI board and the LED worked then. I have since switched over to the ASUS with a Seagate SATA and it hasn't worked. I don't know if the...

Do I need to plug in the 3 pin for the seasonic s12 500W?

What exactly does the three pin connector do? Is it the fan controller? because the fan seems to be ramping up fine, but that might be my imagination, because my 7800GT does ramp up as well when I play 3d games. If I should plug it in, can I just plug it into any of the lower 3 pin connections? I ha...

You think that's a better way to go? I was concerned the 4-pin power plug won't reach. In fact that was a major reason I selected the Lanparty since the 4-pin was right next to the 24-pin power, which I knew was right, but would reach. I am using the A8N Premium + seasonic S12 + P180 combo right no...

I'd go with an Asus A8N premium. I have the board currently with a Seasonic S12 500W and its running like a dream. It has a passive northbridge so you don't have the annoyance of the DFI northbridge fan anymore. :D I used to have a Lanparty until it was killed by my Seasonic :(

Software used to monitor temps with ASUS A8N-Premium?

Hello all, I used to have a DFI and the Smart Guardian software that came with that is kinda what I am looking for, just a simple app that can minimize to the system tray. I am currently using ASUS probe but the readouts for temp can be annoying because they don't minimize to the tray (or at least I...

i dont know if the A8N32 is the same layout as the A8N SLI Premium (looks like it) but when you say the RAM issue, can you take RAM in and out, (even awkwardly) with the Ninja installed?

thanks for the replies guys. i looked at the review and it looks like the reviewer for the P180 snakes the 4 pin power adapter around the pci slots. is this what you guys are doing? do you think if i were to do this it would cause some interference since the wires are running right over the mobo?

The cables barely fits. You'll have to run it over the PCI-slots to fit it or get extenders. I belive they showed the problem in the review of P180 on this site.
