ok, so it was a vanilla 6600...but its close enough

wouldnt it simply be because those other review sites and SPCR used different fans? nexus is a very low CFM fan, and as such shows heatsink performance under minimal airflow conditions the other sites use higher airflow fans, and as you know, some heatsinks perform alot better with high CFM fans and...

not a bad little cooler, just a pitty they dont seem very available

nforce4 chipsets are rated for 90C

putting the arm over the CPU cooler shouldnt make any/much of a difference

why not just put the arm over the CPU cooler where its designed to be? but if uve got a tower CPU HSF then i guess there would be no problems with cable tieing a fan to the arm

as if an x850xt can be considered mid range! that was THE best gfx card available in the previous generation. it was the x700, x800SE, and recently the x800GTO that is a mid range card. 256mb 6600gt's are available to buy (although not as common as the 128mb version). one company even has a 512mb ve...

ive also got a skt 1 celley 333mhz that id like to put back together one of these days...if you find a nice passive HSF for it let me know

its taken a long time to get to 80+ (hasnt it been over 30 years?)...

sounds like another good bang for buck card like the 6600gt was/is. ATI just cant get their low & mid range cards right...

Is this some kind of seriously twisted and sick sarcastic joke? :!: If it is i like it, if it isnt im not coming to Australia :lol: haha, nah. deadly aussie things are SOOO over-rated. for example the red back spider; pretty much the only time your bitten is when you disturb them or their web. and ...

completely different mounting methods, and also the weight may bend or even crack the gfx card

id use the neo HE 430w

ive used arcticlean on a CPU, GPU, chipset, and their appropriate HSFs and the stuff is awsome. leaves NO residue at all, should take care of the case perfectly

i found the coolermaster sleeve bearing fans to be pretty good

tis a good idea, but i can see the results already!
scythe ninja
seasonic S12 430w (or perhaps even the neo HE??)
antec P180
asus passive mobo

i dont like the idea of a heating coil inside my PC....if i wanted a heater in my PC i would have just bought a pentium 4 prescott

i guess it would be possible with heaps low-end equipment, but i dont see how a modest rig (say, 3500+ & 6600gt) would cope running with TTs pictured fanless equipment under load. even the ninja couldnt keep the SPCR test bench (P4 2.4ghz) cool enough when mounted OUTSIDE of a case. combine this wit...

good temps too!

lol

nice, that should be a VERY quiet system. i like your PSU sleeving. would it be possible to run the 4pin mobo plug in that little space between the video card and the motherboard? what kind of temps do you get? is that the nexus in the bottom near the PSU? or is the nexus used as an intake in the to...

i was just cruzing the TT website, and i found something rather interesting that some of you may be interested in. apparently, the kandalf and armour cases work perfectly without ANY fans at all!
i smell bs
thoughts?

first up, i have no idea where i should post this.
second, i thought you guys might wanna put it up on the front news page considering its about your favourite hard drive company. if not, its still an interesting read

Seagate to buy Maxtor

considering the size, weight and design of the VF700, and the size, weight and design of typical stock cooling, i think its safe to say that the zalman would cool it ok. at what voltage, i dunno. im not even sure if the mounting holes would line up properly

since its kinda on topic...
is it possible to take out one of the stealth bays and move it down to the 3rd 5.25" bay? im kind of picky about having my fan controller in the very top bay. its silver, and itll match the front panel better in the top bay

excellent review as usual! seems like a good HS, however im a bit worried about how it kind of "hangs" off the mobo like that. i dont remember seeing the ninja doing that -btw, i was just looking through the recommended HS section and was wondering why the ninja isnt listed there? isnt the ninja bet...

my 6600gt with VF700Cu at 5v runs fine even when its 35C outside in summer

bahahaha! thats heaps funny! *copies image to file of funny pics* i fully would sue them (sapphire) for false advertising. even if the fan wasnt plugged in, its still not fanless. the product clearly has a fan, even tho it is advertised that it does not. search the box and if it doesnt mention that ...
