Hi Folks, OK - after some re-researching, I've found the Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H as a possible. It's actually pretty long-in-the-tooth - max FSB is 800MHz - but it does feature HDMI, HDCP, and SPDIF Optical, which are the magical ingredients. D I think you're confusing supported memory speeds with FS...

I'm running 2 8800GTs and an E6600 off a Corsair HX520. As for 64-bit windows, unless you desperately need more than 4Gb or want to run 64-bit apps I'd avoid it. There is plenty of hardware with VERY flaky (or just non-existant) 64-bit drivers.

No, but I am cooling a T7200 with a Noctua NC-U6 in a Fusion case just using the case's 120 fans. How did you mount the Noctua on the T7200? Is it a board that uses a standard P4 retention mechanism? -D No, its an Asus board which uses two flimsy looking hoops. I took the clip off the stock HSF tha...

Am I being stupid here?

You already have both PSUs, so why not just try it and see?

Do you realise that an 850W PSU is probably powerful enough to run 3 PCs of that spec? Its massive overkill. I have two overclocked 8800GTs, an E6600 and a pair of raptors running off a 520W supply. Your PC would run quite happily off a 450W supply at the very most, whilst still giving you headroom ...

My HX520 is still inaudible in a P180 housing an overclocked E6600 and two HR-03GT clad 8800s, there are four fans in the system, three tri-cools set to low (top, rear and middle drive bay) and one Noctua fan mounted on the CPU cooler, apart from a quiet whoosh from the tri-cools and the odd rattle ...

As for the mounting, if by mounting you mean installation.. i found it was tough.. :( Sorry to say, I think you must have been doing it wrong. I had problems too until I realised that the screws lock into place on either the backplate or securing plate. After that I dis-mounted and remounted the HR...

I'm looking to swap out the tri-cools in my P180 case. As I have a Noctua CPU cooler and fan, I was looking at changing all the tri-cools to Noctua NF-S12 fans. I suppose while I'm at it I might as well swap out the tri-cools in my HTPC (Fusion) too, although they're barely audible from where I'm sat.

What happens with your system? Black screen? Lock up? Screen artifacts, Vista reporting the graphic driver failing to respond, and eventually a blue screen. Since putting the 120mm fan in place and installing the latest beta driver for the 8800s everything seems to be OK now, at stock clocks at any...

Update : Since fitting the HR03-GTs I've had problems with system stability, whether the two are related I'm not sure, but to try and lower temps on the card without the fan I took the 92mm fan off the HR03 and fitted a 120mm fan into the central bay of my P180 I took the tri-cool 120 out of the low...

I'm using 2Gb on this board too, I don't think I flashed the bios from the original flash I did back when I got the board to get the T7200 working.

I'm using an akasa amber 92mm fan at full speed. I think its quiet, but I spend all day in a server room!

I've just posted my experiences of the HR03-GT in another thread, but to summarise, it is a great piece of kit I need to do more testing in different conditions, but it seems like it can at better the stock cooler when run passively and slaughter it with a fan attached.

OK, I fitted the HR03-GTs, first problem was the heatsinks not sticking properly to the PWM ICs, I had some heatsinks left over from a NorthQ cooler that seemed to stick a little better, but the problem seems to be a simple lack of surface area to stick too. Second issue, running two cards in SLI, a...

OK, here are the 'before' figures. Antec P180 case, stock tri-cool fans set to low CPU E6600, running at 3.2Ghz and 1.45 V Striker Extreme Noctua NH-U12F HSF with Noctua fan running at 1200rpm Asus Striker Extreme 2x8800GT at stock speeds (600/900) Corsair HX520 Idle temps CPU : 39 GPU1 : 59 GPU2 : ...

I'd try the 8800GT on stock cooling before you pay for an additional cooler, the fan is pretty quiet under normal useage.

I'll do some before and after temps and post the results. Nothing too scientific, I'll take idle temps then run the Crysis demo for a bit and take some load temps using the NVidia monitor. I run my cards at 675/975 with stock cooling, it will be interesting to see if they'll any higher with better c...

Try e-mailling NorthQ, they make an excellent cooler that looks like the Zalmans, but with a quiet fan. I have two, one on a 7600GT and one on an 8600GTS.

According to their website all of their GPU coolers fit the Nvidia 7600 range, but they may know of any exceptions

If you want to risk ripping the middle out of your graphics card rather than shelling out around $25 for an AC Accelero then give it a whirl. Please post before, after and 'OMG what was that crashing noise/burning smell pics'

I've just blown my Christmas bonus on some new PC kit. Amongst which is a pair of HR03GTs to cool my 8800GTs

Between fitting those and watching United in Rome I've got a good night ahead of me

Just to add, looking at the prices I've found for the 64Gb drive, it would be cheaper to buy a pair of 32Gb drives

I buy all my hardware from Scan computers, they are generally good on price and are local to me. They are one of the larger component sellers in the UK. I linked to their SSD page in my earlier post. from a quick scout round of a few sites they seem to be the cheapest for the 32Gb drive. The speeds ...

What currency are those prices? Swedish or Norwegian? Either way it's a good 30% higher than the UK.

However, if money is no object

Scan computers in the UK sell them, but I'm sure you could find them a little closer to home. Try contacting your local Samsung office to see if their are any stockists in Denmark.

Any gpu cooler with heat pipes that go over the top of the card is at best going to be an extremely tight fit in a Fusion. Most likely it won't fit without a bit of persuasion and tactical denting.

This thread is a blast from the past, and I STILL haven't uploaded the pics of this mounted on my N4L-VM DH. Its still going strong, I used the bracket off the stock HSF just looped over the Noctua cooler. This system is my HTPC and rarely gets turned off. Obviously this sort of setup would only be ...

Hello, Second, I also want to buy a PSU able to manage 2 geforce8800 (either GT or newest GTS with G92), that being a later upgrade option (when geforce11800 appears :wink: ), along with a quadcore, 2GB DDR3, 2 hd, and 2-3 other PCI cards and 4 fans. And I was at one step on buying Corsair HX620W, ...

I have a pair of 8800GTs in an Antec P180 case. The fans are LOUD at full speed, but as previous posts have said, they don't ramp up to full speed under normal circumstances. They aren't silent by any means, but my whole rig is quiet (apart from the raptors!). I'm running an E6600 overclocked to 3.4...

Search is your friend...

There must be hundreds of threads on what will and won't fit in a Fusion case.

Short answer to your question.... no.

Max height for a heatsink in a Fusion is about 110mm max. The Ultima90 is about 140mm tall.
