Agree with this - just use a cable tie or some wire or something and attach it to a support above the cooler.CA_Steve wrote:You could just secure it with a couple of cable ties to an appropriate point on the case to nullify the torque. Or, build a stand underneath it to prop it up.

Re: Ninja SNCJ-1000 for socket 1155 with Noctua backplate -
I have the Ninja Revision B, I think I'm going to try that backplate and screws from Sidewinder. It looks like I won't need to do anything else. I do have an 1155 AsRock board with the 775 holes (H77M), but no way am I using the plastic pushpins, and I don't think a 775 backplate will work properly ...

Re: Ninja SNCJ-1000 for socket 1155 with Noctua backplate -
The original Ninja had a 775 fitting derived from the 478 fitment. Later Ninjas, such as yours, used the standard 775 push-pins. You should find that if you remove the push-pins from the 775 fixing, there is enough room to use the bolts, thumbscrews and backplate from the Noctua NM-I3 SecuFirm2 mou...

Re: Ninja SNCJ-1000 for socket 1155 with Noctua backplate -
Is it possible to do a similar thing with the Ninja Rev. B (SCNJ-1000P) or is the mounting too different?
I have this: http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/cpu/0 ... 1100p.html
Maybe using the socket 478 clip from scythe and the noctua backplate?

Ninja rev. B on Socket AM2+/AM3
I have a Scythe Ninja revision B on a socket 939 motherboard right now.
I am thinking about upgrading my computer and using the Asus M4a78 motherboard. This is an AM2+/AM3 motherboard.
Will I need to get a new bracket to attach the ninja to this motherboard? If so, where can I get this?
Thanks!

520W enough?
A friend is building a rig with the following specs:

Nforce 650i Motherboard
4 Gigs RAM
8800GTS 512 (may add another later, so take into account 2 of these)
2 Hard Drives
2 Optical Drives
He keeps telling me "zomg I need 750W," but I want to convince him otherwise. Help!

I would suggest not buying your parts one piece at a time (RAM is maybe the only thing I would buy earlier as prices are rock bottom right now.) Save your money up until you have enough to buy everything at once; there's no reason to buy parts one at a time. You'll also save money/be able to buy bet...

Overheating Video Card? (Monitoring Software)
So I think my passive 7600GT is overheating when I play Half Life 2. What program could I use that would create a text log file of the temperature of the card, so that when my computer crashes while playing I can see if it's the card?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm not sure how quiet that setup will be. It seems geared towards gaming more than towards quiet operation, which is fine as long as your expectations are realistic. Also, your links don't seem to work right. I can't see the described components. I can't imagine why that setup would cost you $1900...

as the Ninja has wider fin spacing which makes it better for LOW airflow It's not such precise: The Ultra-120 beat the Ninja at every voltage level except the lowest, where the two were equal it is a better passive heatsink. Very likely, or so I mean. Luca But we're talking about passive here - no ...

I would bet the T2Pro is going to be louder, since it has 2 80mm fans and 1 120mm. The Antec P150 is 40% more expensive though, so it depends on what kind of noise you'll put up with and how much modification you want to do. You might be able to undervolt the fans in the T2Pro to make them quieter, ...

You might want to try blocking those side vents and see what that does for cooling. I'm thinking that maybe some of the air being exhausted by the rear fan is being drawn through those vents and is not contributing to component cooling as well as it could because of the direct path. Or have you tes...

Did you look at the reviews for that converter? Lots of DOAs. You can also look for another converter or get a PCI SATA card.

There are more if you do a Newegg search. Those both have a composite out, yes, but many video cards have a dongle that attaches to the video out port that does component and composite.
Gigabyte 7600GS
I would say that is your best bet.
