quiet/short nVidia GTX 670?
Does such a creature exist?
The Asus cooler design seems best for noise, but it's 1/2" too long for my Fractal Design Mini case because of the cooler
Closest thing I've dug up is this:

Re: more like an hour
The K is smaller than the BS - that's why I went with it, so I could get low-latency RAM with heatspreaders. If the BS won't interfere with your memory, it's better than the K. Why did you order it? Posted the spec pages of the K vs. the BS above. Unless I misread it, it looks like the K is bigger ...

ok, this is driving me up the wall. I'm guessing I've got a defective stock cooler because at system startup, the BIOS reports 50C and then it goes to 58C after a few minutes. At one point, I did get it down to 29C by turning the screws on the heatsink counterclockwise and then pushing it in while t...

the review should have compared against the Scythe Big Shuri
It mentions the Kuhler is useful is small HTPC cases where clearance is limited, then mentions the GD05 which needs the Big Shuriken and the table doesn't include test results for the Big Shuriken

don't think the Thermaltake Blue Orb II fits AM2 sockets
If you look at the mounting mechanism, it's extremely similar to what Zalman does w/ their 7000/7700. It's a new mounting plate and screws that go into it. This only works for Socket 939 (also confirmed on Thermaltake's web site which doesn't mention AM2)...

The APC SmartUPS is silent until it uses the battery or when it roughly hits 90% of its power capacity, then a fan turns on that is a bit loud. It has true sine wave output (unlike the BackUPS and most less expensive power supplies). The biggest negative is that if the battery doesn't work any more,...
