My Club3D 7800 GS runs fine with a Nexus 4090 (400W). I think myPSU is from the same technological era as your Seasonic so you shouldn't have any problems with it. Oh, and it OCs beautifully too: I have it running very stable at 450/1350 for a few gaming nights already and I think it can be pushed f...

It appears you have the "plus" version of this case, which comes with a altered airflow pattern and the slot blowing fan. I think they released that version of the case since in the original setup too much hot & stagnant air remained in the top of the case. With an arctic cooling VGA cooler you can ...

Little update on this "talking-to-myself" thread: I got a black screen with the X800XL within a few minutes. I did not take any chances for my LAN party and got an nVidia 7800GS AGP... only to find out after the weekend that the problem had to do with my KVM switch not getting enough juice without t...

The good news: got a very good fit (used some generic white TIM to test the contact area and it came off as a nice, healthy square on the heatsink). The b...

Shim too thick for Zalman VF700
A few days ago I finally swapped the stock HSF from my Sapphire ATi X800XL for a VF700-Cu. This was a new build so I did a clean install. No problems so far. As soon as I got all the drivers installed and updated I loaded up ATi-tool. It reported 57C as GPU temp, which I reckoned was a bit high. As ...

Just kidding there :) My point was: I have yet to cook a PSU with a low-airflow fan swap, but some of them have run very, very hot (over 70C on the internal heatsinks) so I really would not recommend that for a prolonged period of time unless you keep a keen eye on it. As long as you keep your rear ...

If you're shipping to the Netherlands, azerty.nl has good prices (and service). The newest Papst are reportedly OK again, I only have experience with the older (white labeled) versions which were too much hit-and-miss for my taste. The problem with that Antec PSU is that you cannot lower airflow eno...

My XP3200+ Barton chugs away nicely (and quietly) with a Nexus 92mm fan on it... slightly undervolted, it runs at ~1000rpm which is completely inaudible in my setup and even very quiet on an open testbench. At full load it gets up to about 58C in an Antec 3000B with 2x Nexus 120mm at 550rpm... but s...

IMHO, a passive PSU should go in a case that has ample airflow; not necessarily due to a high level of forced airflow, but the case should "breathe" easily, to allow the heat from the extra heat source - which is basically what a fanless PSU is - to escape without adding noise. The way I see it, the...

Yes, that 7000B will fit. You do need to replace the standard mount, so unfortunately: yes, you will have to remove the motherboard. The standard backplate does come off easily enough though. Just unscrew the two screws that hold it in place and it's loose (no glue or anything). One other thing to n...

Well, not exactly lying around: the A8N-VM CSM board is already in a system that is up and running with a Zalman 7000B AlCu on it, so I could not test-fit the Ninja on it. I didn't feel like removing the Zalma...

My PC-V1000 quieted down considerably in the "humming" department after I applied roofers tape and self-adhesive vinyl floor tiles to the various panels... total maybe a €15 mod that would be applicable to most LL cases. A V1100 is very airflow-challenged, so I'd recommend against it unless you plan...

What plastic part? Getting the back fan out of "straight-through" airflow PSU can require a bit of force, depending on the layout of the circuit board. Sometimes you can bend the backside of the PSU a bit outwards. The yellow wire on your new fan is meant for RPM monitoring using motherboard fan hea...

For me personally, the big advantage of not using RAID is the ease with which I can swap disks around. I tend to do incremental upgrades to my system, so adding a disk at a time whenever I need it is a lot easier for me than shelling out for (say) 3 large drives. Also, if I end up with a noisy disk ...

Drilling out the vertical panel is very easy, like ott suggested.

IMHO Papst fans are a bit too pricey for what they deliver: I've had hit-and-miss results with them (some were noisy, others weren't) which I did not expect from relatively expensive fans. Nexus fans OTOH have never let me down (yet), after installing 10+ in various rigs. This is based on the white-...

There is a chance that the cards at the really low end do not support dual-head: my server-rig has an Asus ATi9250SE card which has a DVI-D output next to the analog D-SUB.
