Definitely.

Just to make sure, how many amps are available on the +12V rail?

Gerbil, you've got the AlCu version... aluminum fins are always much easier to bend. I will likely get the full copper version - the fins may not be as flexible.

Amazing review, took me a very long time to read it in depth, and I applaud all you guys for your efforts, thanks so much for producing the "P180 Handbook" as somebody put it earlier. The case looks awesome (I must get my hands on the black SPCR version), but I am only concerned by one thing... and ...

How did you mount the fan, Auz?

That's a really big heatsink.

I did a similar job on an old 8500LE I had in this thread here. Runs great passively.

One thing I don't like about most Abit boards is that they have the floppy connector in the worst place. I don't know if I'll be using a floppy in the future, but c'mon!

That's probably the worst I've ever seen. Damn. The motherboard is really clean around the CPU socket...

flarkit, I forget where the pic came from, I just happened to have it on the drive.

The AN8 Ultra really has my interest. I'm just wondering if that heatpipe + radiator combo will work. That's quite a long way for the heat to go before it can get dissipated. Putting on a better thermal solution means you lose the adacent PCI-E 1x slot, but you still have one left.

Hmmmmmm.

That is a long heatpipe! Quite possibly the most visually dominating part of the whole motherboard.

Enough talk, let's see some examples! Basic AMD boxed thermal solution. http://ww2.teamdr.net/korruption/images/95sm.jpg http://ww2.teamdr.net/korruption/images/96sm.jpg These next three show how sensitive Thermaltake heatsinks can be to dust. Keep them clean at all costs! http://ww2.teamdr.net/korr...

Question, though I'm sure it affects other cases that feature this layout also. What about PSUs that have shorter ATX 20/24-pin main connections? I know for a fact that the OCZ Modstream (though not the quietest PSU) doesn't have very long of an ATX main. Going from the bottom of the case all the wa...

Perhaps I need to do a little more research, but the review just posted up on the front page has me interested. How do I tell if the PSU is of the new revision or not? Is it the F3 on the sticker?

Any word on who produces the capacitors? Rubycon? I believe Sanyo and Luxon may also be Japanese. Thanks. The ones I can see in the pics are Chemi-Con. Very nice. And Luxon is the absolute bottom of the barrel in Taiwanese crap. Sanyo, Rubycon, Chemi-Con, and Panasonic are the only acceptable brand...

Just to add to this thread, another review on another case, but the same reviewer: While reviewing the Titan 550 I was a bit disappointed in the inability to mount my ATX motherboards as I looked forward to using the case for my own system. I talked to Antec's developement team and was told that sta...

With GPUs getting as hot as they are, it makes more sense in thermal terms to have the heatsink base sitting right up against the GPU core. Adding a heatspreader does add protection and durability to the design, but they can also keep heat in at times. Even Northbridges today are looking a lot like ...

Does anyone know any way that I can be sure this card is toast? I tried it in another computer and had the same result. That's pretty good indication that it's dead. I RMA'd a 9700 Pro to ATI for the exact same reasons. I put the shim back on and the stock heatsink - they didn't seem to care. Sent ...

Asus A8V-E Deluxe + Zalman NB47J

The VIA K8T890 doesn't seem to run very hot, so it should do with the NB47J.

http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=91550 Reading this review leads me to believe that this is strictly a server case. I like the look of it, the noise properties of the steel and the fan setup look quite attractive also. Antec is making a huge mistake by not allowing ATX boards to mou...

Not much mention of the Swiftech MCX159, but I hope to have it working with a Radeon X800XL + VF700-Cu. The footprint that the MCX159 occupies doesn't look very large, perhaps very comparable to the Zalman NB47J. The obvious advantage is that the nF4 chip will be running much cooler thanks to the mu...

LOL

I wonder how TT will price it. Judging from their previous cases, I'd say it'll be quite expensive.

Typically you would need to remove the motherboard, as you need access to the back of the board to compress the plastic pinheads.

In the images on the Tom's review, that Sharkoon looks a lot like an Enermax. Right down to the fan speed control knob.

It's worse than an abominable product - it's not even original! It looks like a rip-off of the Asus Star Ice. http://uk.asus.com/products/pccomponents/cooler/gaming/starice/overview.htm# I'm reasonably sure that the Star Ice is based on one of the Thermaltake towers... so I don't know who's ripping...

You heard it right, it's the Thermaltake BETTLE! I can't understand it... shouldn't it be the BEETLE at least?

I just noticed the Rev2 Silencers on the Arctic Cooling website... what do these revisions change? I only notice the added compatibilties with the new Radeon X600/700/X850 and the GF 6600GT. I would assume the 6600GT AGP is not supported yet.

I did the same thing to a Radeon 8500LE that I recieved a while back. See THIS thread for more details. http://ww2.teamdr.net/korruption/images/comp/8500le/before1.jpg http://ww2.teamdr.net/korruption/images/comp/8500le/cleaned2.jpg http://ww2.teamdr.net/korruption/images/comp/8500le/post1.jpg

I have a Be Quiet!, wich i have understood has TAGAN internals. It is a Topower model. Tagan purchases PSUs directly from the manufacturer, Topower, and resells them as Tagan PSUs. I really like how they look inside. Topower also manufactures the OCZ Powerstream and Modstream lines. Topower's high-...

Ouch!! Sorry to hear it... MikeC mentioned in the reviews of the Silencers that there was no information in the instruction manual on how tight the screws should be. It sounds like Arctic Cooling needs to revise their installation instructions so fewer accidents happen. They did say to tighten the ...

Nice! Probably runs cooler than my fanless 8500LE that I just recently modified. Do you have a fan on there at all?
