Re: New build, and some weird issues I'm trying to figure ou
It could be a case of something doesn't play well with another piece of hardware. If you have multiple 16x PCI-E sockets then you could try moving the graphics card to another slot and repeat. Do you still have the old hardware that you replaced to test against? I still have the Radeon, but it has ...

Yes it is, but when I fist got that desk a few years ago, I had to make a few modifications to improve airflow. The back of the compartment is now co...

Have you considered the Zalman VF900-Cu? I used the VF900-Cu on a X1800-XT card and it ended up to be quiet and effective, even at its slowest speed. It comes with a Fanmate which lets you change the RPM easily.
