will vf700 fan fit in my shuttle?

Post by p00hbear » Wed Jun 29, 2005 2:52 am

I have purchased and installed a XFX 6600GT gamers edition into my SB83G5M shuttle in the PCI-E slot. I have a Terratec 1400 DVBT card in PCI slot aswell. Currently the GT is very noisy and accounts for 80% of the sound. I would like a VGA cooling solution which will make it silent or less noisy than the stock fan and be able to fit into the shuttle as there is not much room. Anyone has this setup?

I've seen passive Zalman and Thermaltake solutions but they seem to cover the card alot and I'm not sure I have the space required. Also as they are passive, it'll heat up much more right? I also looked at the zalman vf700 quiet fan but again if someone can confirm it will fit that would be good.

Specs of rest of hardware, P4 3.4 HT 540J, 2 x 1Gb crucial 3200 ram, 74gb raptor, 300gb wd sata, pioneer 109. Currentl idle temps range from 50-55 on idle.
