Hmmm... ducting?
I thought about that when I installed it.
After seeing the temps when finished, I'm not sure how much better it will get.
Sounds like a hassle if it's only going to bring it down maybe 1 degree.
But then again, I do half my mods just to do them .
We'll see...

Great, now you have me all freaked out.
Oh well, what's done is done.
No shorts so far... other than the ones I'm wearing .
Yeah, I wouldn't recomend Dremeling it while it's already on there.
But like I said... I'm crazy.
Now I'll just have to hold my breath and hope everything is okay.

You can see how things worked out for me here:

Got a Ninja, yeah! Installing was a little trickier than the usual heat sink but not too difficult. In my particular application I had to do a little modding. On with the show! Here's the setup pre-Ninja: http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/4317/img45483gc.th.jpg Here' a comparison of my old heat sin...

Well, I got the Ninja and installed it. I had to dremel the clip also. No way around it with the Zalman VGA cooler. I took a lot of pictures and will be discribing it in more detail in my own system thread found here: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?p=256771#256771 Thanks for all your...

Did you peel the 3M back and use the sticky surface.
I heard some people leave it on to avoid any possible shortages.

I read your post and it made my head spin.
You used the Scythe back plate with a Zalman cooler?!
I'm all confused...
So you recomend using the scythe back plate?

How do you have 1GB ram? 1x 1024 or 2x 512? I had a motherboard that would only let me run CnQ with one dimm full. If I had two dimms full in single channel mode it wouldn't work. My current setup allows for dual channel and CnQ. So if you have more than one stick then remove all but one and see if ...

Did you leave the stock back plate on when you installed the Ninja or did you use the one Scythe provides with the heatsink? Mine should be here on Wednesday and I want to be able to slap it in with no problems. I'm sure I'm going to have to remove the motherboard to install the Ninja but I'd preffe...

Okay, I fixed all the broken links this thread had by using Image Shack for my pictures.
I hope this thread helps people who had the same hurdles I did.

You also need to get those HDDs suspended!

You can get rid of those stiff PSU cables and make your own. That is one of the beautiful things about the OCZ ModStream. It might be hard to see from this picture but try and look: http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/6962/img22335tl.th.jpg I made a ubersmall 4 inch cable for my DVDRW. You can do likew...

Hey Bubbalobill,
Do you have a zalman fan mate?
If so, that should solve your clicking issues with that cooler.
Other than the clicks what would you say is quieter, the AC or the Zalman?
The AC must push it close to the northbridge cooler though.

So let me get this straight. You dremelled the piece that is used to clamp the Ninja down? Shown below (circled area): http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/7114/scnj1000base6do.th.jpg If so then I think I have a good idea of what needs to be done. Any close up pictures you could provide would be helpful...

Finally, someone put a Ninja on a K8N Neo2! Can you go into detail about how it fit. I am also looking to get this heatsink but was hesitant because I thought it would touch my GFX card. Here's a look at my system: http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/6962/img22335tl.th.jpg What modding needs to be done...

This doesn't look promising:

But maybe this guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
I have seen websites that say it runs passive:

Just saw some of these at my local Best Buy. They look nice, but how quiet are they? They appear to be fanless, which is good. It says they have a 16MB buffer which makes me think they use the newer SATA3.0 hard drives they have been making. Those seem to be pretty quiet for a 3.5". But if these dri...

So who wants to mail me there spares?

Currently I suspend my HDD and it is dead silent. Now I know that using sorbothane is not quite as good. But I am wondering how close they are. So maybe someone with a P150 could comment on the differences in sound. Also, does anyone know where to get those sorbothane gromets that Antec puts in the ...

My biggest concern was space between the CPU heatsink and the GFX card.
Have a look at this picture:



Since the CPU socket is below the memory it sits close to the GFX card.
I wasn't teribley worried about the IDEs and what have you.

Can anyone very this fit?
I was looking at buying a ninja.
Please help!

should be fixed now

The site where I hosted my pictures went down so I'll put some new pictures up for reference.

Well this doesn't really matter any more since you did the swap already but... Who cares if you never reach 300W. The PSU ramps the fan voltage based off temps, not wattage. If it gets hot it ramps up! Hitting 300w will get itself hot enough to ramp up. But external heat sources can as well. Here is...

I have the CU on my AIW X800XT.
Easy to put on.
Very quiet.
Cools great.
I even overclock.

Allow me to give my two cents here... Everytime I see these debates it makes me laugh. People worry about the "long-term affects" of overclocking CPUs and "hot" running components. Here's how it works. The hotter the component, the shorter the life. Now here is the reality of it all. Even if your ru...

Looks like Tom's took the picture down...Hmmm...???

I thought this was funny and didn't know where to post it. But there are pictures so I figured it was safe to post here.

Woah, someone has a lot of money to spend on a PC...! Looks like you went out and bought the best of the best, money not being an issue. I have one recomendation though (not SPCR related really). Looks like you have dual dvdrws. I noticed you have them on the same IDE cable. If you are doing dual bu...
