If you haven't already read this article, start here You don't plan on overclocking your E6600, a Ninja and other high end heatsinks are a bit overkill. If you want to overclock and stay quiet, Ninja and Ultra-120 are the best bets (assuming the both fit in your MB and case choices) Thanks for the ...

Heatsink for E6600 on Gigabyte DS3 board

I've read a lot of threads here, but I just can't seem to make up my mind on what heatsink to get. I want something that is going to be pretty quiet, but also give me good performance. I have looked at the Scythe Infnity, but that thing looks massive and makes me wonder if I need to modify anything ...

It is probably easiest to just put a fan undervolted on the video card cooler. Or, if you can adapt it, plug the fan into the video card so you can use ATITool to control it's speed as card temperature varies. I appreciate the help. Could I trouble you to explain what you mean by "undervolted"? Are...

The X1900XT won't be passively cooled by a HR-03, unless you have very good case airflow - and a lot of noise. A 7900 GTX runs about 20-25W less than your X1900XT and it can't be properly cooled passively with the HR-03, with low case airflow. However adding even a low-speed 92 mm fan to the HR-03 ...

Let me put a few VGA coolers down and maybe that will help. 1.) ThermalRIght HR-03. I have read some bits that this might require removing some things on the video card? 2.) Arctic Cooling Accelero X2 3.) Zalman VF900 Like I said, something that will cool nicely and is quiet. How well does the HR-03...

Recommendations for a VGA cooler: x1900xt

Think it's time i try out VGA cooling. There are quiet a few out there, but I have specifics on what im looking for. 1.) Something that does not require extreme measures to install. 2.) Something that cools the Video card nicely. 3.) The quieter the better. I have read some of the threads in here an...
