yea i found this problem too. i am resigned to using the factory Antec Earth Watts 380W, after giving up on trying to use my Corsair 520HX in this case.

my LG dvdrw drive is shorter than regular ones so that helps a tiny bit.

pics can be provided upon request

i had a regular scythe shuriken in the NSK2480 cooling a AMD Phenom X2 545 that was unlocked to a fully stable x4.

temps were fine. could get away with one exhaust fan and blocked off the other hole using the supplied plastic board thing.

btw the ram slots are closer to the cpu socket on your board compared to the other one and the IFX 14 appears longer.

so you might have issues in that way.

the OP in this thread has the GA-G33M-DS2R with a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 in the NSK3480. http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=54739 http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/FileList/Image/motherboard_productimage_ga-g33m-ds2r_big.jpg GA-G33M-DS2R your boards appear similar, possibly even got more room...

which LGA775 board? they're not all the same

my board which is the ASUS P5K-VM has the cpu cooler holes like about 2 capacitor diameters away from the edge of the board. compared to the similar board GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R which is further from the edge.

^can i run this combo with a E8400 @ 3.6GHz, 1 HDD, 1 ODD

also is it worth going from a 9600GT Black Pearl to a 5770?

thanks

just doing a quick google of the board, im certain it should clear it easy. my board which is the ASUS P5K-VM has the cpu cooler holes like about 2 capacitor diameters away from the edge of the board. :( on the other hand my AC Freezer Pro 7 Rev2 fits fine. so yeah just some boards and cooler combin...

would the regular 100mm shuriken be comparable to the big shuriken? theres no point in upgrading right?

i have a NSK3480 at the moment but was considering getting the TJ08 for a new build. my problem with the NSK3480 is that i can't use my Corsair 520HX with an optical drive installed because the powersupply is too long. also i can't use my Xigmatek S1283 mounting vertically so that air blows out the ...

agree with most of the above +
i think they should make it slightly longer so it can occupy a 3rd party powersupply and standard optical drive COMFORTABLY.

and also change the front somehow so it so plastic looking.

does anyone know if the my EA-380 will support the 5770?

the rest of my system has one HDD, E8400 OC to 3.6GHz, 2x2GB RAM, 4 fans

thanks

if its any help, i gave up trying to fit a ASUS DRW-1814BLT sata drive with a CORSAIR 520HX in the NSK3480 i'm now back to using the stock PSU (EA380) which can fit the DVDRW drive fine and theres plenty of clearance for the cables whatever you end up doing make sure you consider the length of the c...

nope don't use it. i switched the panel with the holes to the other side.

see sig.

hi just have a few questions for anyone with this board, http://www.asus.com/websites/global/products/3b5UcN0ZQvtPfHGD/P_500.jpg http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=3b5UcN0ZQvtPfHGD 1. does it have options to control the Vcore for the CPU? 2. do the fan headers detect fan speed, and can it be cont...

While the Xigmatek is quite lightweight, I would personally nether ship a computer with the heatsink installed, not even the stock heatsink. It takes on AM3 ~1 minute to open the case and remove the heatsink, and maybe 4 minutes to reinstall it - so why risk it? You never know how rough it will be ...

did some further digging. these images came from non english sites ... but they look like 4770s :D http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/8346/5cefa37b7d9c.th.jpg http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/1351/dvc00022b.th.jpg http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/6053/dvc00023b.th.jpg http://img214.imageshack.us/img...

hi has anyone tried fitting an after market Zalman VF900 on to one of these? the zalman website doesn't say anything about it. im planning to buy a sapphire 4770, and transplanting my VF900 onto if it can fit and also if it will cooler better/more silently. I asked myself the same question. I googl...

Thanks for the comments. :D bigger pictures! >:( You can click the pictures i have, and then within those links you can choose, small, medium or large. :wink: I highly recommend people with this case to do this simple mod... With that said, it does take some time to work out the best route for the c...

Small update. Finally got around to cutting the hole, was pretty easy in the end. Pretty much the same parts as originally, except added another WD640, a Zalman Fanmate2 and the 92mm Nexus for the CPU cooler. http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8785/42789378.th.jpg http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/61...

Have you heard of RivaTuner? (google). It has a setting for low level fan control.

i think mcoleg means that top-fan as in, just flip the psu around.

and yes that would be what you'd wanna do.

hi i read a few things on the internet regarding this case on how it is similar to the TJ08 but i just need someone to confirm if the case has a removable motherboard tray.

so does it?

i can't see anything on the product page at coolermaster

i mean like sapphire vs xfx vs any others out there

which is quieter?

any ideas on the which manufacturer makes the quietest stock model yet?

dont worry mate. mine had like 2-3deg difference but they have now equalised. i think it might be the TIM settling in.

could this run on my system? see sig

btw its got a Antec EA-380W

firstly what program are you using to monitor the temps, some CPU temps are reported incorrectly due to sensor or program issues. btw what are idle temps? check if the minja is seated properly and conducting the heat from the cpu by just touching the top of the minja, does it reflect what 100C condu...

i've had both stock c2d cooler (low profile from 45nm and full 65nm ones) at one stage in my build. relatively quiet but the ramping up/down due to pwm can be audible. cooling wise it'll be decent without being spectacular it matches quite well with the supplied ducting that comes standard with the ...

how about this the silverstone sst-ps02
