SFF / Aopen XC Cube / graphics card space problems - help!

Post by davidstone28 » Tue Jun 01, 2004 5:49 am

Is there any way of modding a graphics card to be silent / near silent but still fit into a SFF case - ie the Aopen XC Cube?

At the moment I use the Zalman passive GPU heatsinks but there's no way that it will fit into the XC Cube or any other SFF for that matter.

Any ideas?

Your first option is to get a Sapphire 9600XT Ultimate, which is a single slot passively cooled graphics card. You could also go the water cooling route. The Zalman Reserator looks pretty cool :)
