Fanless heatsink for nVidia 6800 series?

Anybody knows if there are any fanless heatsinks available for nVidia 6800 series right now or in the nearest future? We know that Arctic Silencer will be coming out with a new revision of their cooler (which although not fanless will be extremely quiet) compatible with ATI X800PRO/XT. However now t...

I would advise to spend $20 to get AX version. I had a very negative experience with 475P - the first 475P I got from newegg was squeeking under heavy 12V load (two hard drives or more), the replacement PSU I got was dead... :evil: Finally after spending a little fortune on shipping those PSUs back ...

Even after looking at the pictures at german review, it still doesn't look like there is adequate HDD cooling. You might get off with one, two, maybe even three harddrives if you have a PSU with bottom intake fan, but 4 HDDs or more would be equivalent to suicide, AND as far as I see there is no rub...

I think the thing you're all describing is PSU related. I had the same problem with Enermax Noisetaker 475P PSU. I replaced it with 475AX PSU and the noise was gone. Also if you look at other forums, somehow Seagate drives, especially barracuda IV are very strenous on PSUs. Lots of people reported t...

There is a difference between business quarters and non-business, yearly ones. You're all basing your assumptions that Q3 in Seagate press-release refers to a yearly quarter, not buseness one. However we don't know this for sure, that's why I wanted to know a clear date.

Anyone know when exactly the new Seagate drives will ship and what will be the prices? I need some massive amount of storage fast (~1Tb) while maintaining low noise level. I finally settled for Hitachi 7K250, but the new Seagate drives look very promising and might be worth waiting. I just don't kno...
