Speedfan vs Fancontrol
Why am I not surprised that once I figured out how to get fancontrol working in Ubuntu 10.04 it would work far better that SpeedFan in Windows 7? It's like Speed Fan randomly forgets how to control my fans and spins them up to 100%. Worse is that no matter what I try I can't seem to get them back un...

Seems to me that you've picked up some low profile cases with some rather tall coolers (the Zipang being odd one out). I would also recommend an ATI 57xx series card for low power, video capability, gaming and audio bit-streaming directly to your reciever. Probably one of the Powercolor passive card...

It should work, but I highly recommend measuring the distance from the center of the core to the I/O Panel on the card to ensure that it will fit correctly. The distance between the back edge (closest to the I/O panel) and the center of the heat plate on the cooler is roughly 2.5". It appears as tho...

The Mugen2 install isn't that difficult, it's just the reverse of norm - you don't attach the heatsink to the mother board, you attach the mother board to the heatsink. With the Mugen2 on an H55M-UD2 you have enough vertical clearance for standard ram with no vertical heatsinks. Flush mounted heat s...

You also stated that you wantoed to duplicate one of the outputs... Does your GS hav...

Scythe Setsugen photos and measurements
The Scythe Setsugen is turning out to be quite the remarkable cooler for me. Below are two photos of the Scythe Setsugen mounted on my Asus 5770 and laid out on a seamstress cutting mat for measurement purposes. It appears as though there is roughly 2.5" from the center of the GPU to the rear/ IO si...

One of the best features of the 3480 is the ability to fit any of the supercoolers. Most of the alternatives I've seen so far don't appear to have the capacity to handle these, based solely on the 80 and 92 mm fans rear fans. It looks like the Inwins might, though it's hard to tell if those are 120'...

Your experience with the L2 Pro is the same as others with the S1 Rev2. Your assumtion is may be correct - the spacers were too tall. You might try cutting or lapping them to reduce the height. When I mounted my Scythe cooler I wound up with no spacers between the cooler and board. I just tightened ...

Hi, Would it be possible to flip the fan around to blow down toward the card? It might be quieter that way, and it might even be cooler? page 5: Now you may be wondering if you can flip the fan around and blow it onto the GPU. With some effort the wire clips holding the fan can be removed, but simp...

I recently put a Scythe Setsugen on my Asus CuCore 5770. It idles at 33C and stabilizes at 61C in Furmark. I did a hybrid mounting scheme because the backplate and screw/nut system from Scythe took up too much room and physically interfered with my Mugen2. I used AS 5 for the TIM rather than the inc...

Maybe cause the Megahalems are not in stock or available in your country. That is valid. I was assuming that if one Prolimatch was available the other would be. Yes you obviously were making an unfounded assumption. Further, asking this question is really inane as are your 1000+ posts in two months...
