How easy is it to swap a fan on a VF900? looks like nightmare for me....it employes vertical mounting screw: http://www.tweakers4u.de/p4cms/media/t4u/image_artikel/06/107/6.jpg http://www.tweakers4u.de/p4cms/media/t4u/image_artikel/06/107/7.jpg http://www.tweakers4u.de/p4cms/media/t4u/image_artikel...

xfx has an overclocked version running at 500/900, which is higher than that review site was able to overclock their stock version. still uses the stock 1slot passive cooler too. i checked the other video card manufacturers, and they either dont have a version up yet or dont sell one clocked this h...

Myrkskog- A Poignant Scenario of Death ....devastating tune..... hmmm it's suitable for backround music during making review,then at last say "overall the Necrocool Silentdeath CPU cooler is a great performer and totaly silent,I can't hear that,it's drowned by pounding rythms of Myrkskog's Deathmach...

The Aerocool Turbine is perhaps a fan that has not been mentioned on SPCR before as a quiet fan, so that is interesting. I remember some Oz fellows were taking this quiet bling fan due to the lack of Nexuses at southern hemisphere at that moment,take a look at page 2&3: http://forums.silentpcreview...

... why would you want a heatsink on a VIA southbridge? to make it 'cooler' of course :lol: these Zalman guys are really good,they made well engineered design,improve,and could reuse it later because it goodness. 8) genuine innovator I think (except for their 8000) my computers · not folding while ...

Fortunately HKEPC just published a review of the 7600GS (Babelfish translation to english). They tested a 7600GS versus a x1600XT, both in single card setup and SLI vs Crossfire setup. In single card configuration the 7600GS wins in most games and 3DMark2006, the x1600XT wins in 3DMark2005 and 2003...

Finally something that can be installed inside an SFF.
What card is that?a Black XFX 7900GT?

EDIT: another pic from matbe

another review at Virtual Hideout compare VF-900 to Accelero on 7800GT, however due to their method comparing 2 different coolers simultaneusly on SLI configuration, this time VF900 wins over Accelero, I guess upper VGA cooler(AC)would suck hot air from lower card. weird method.... EDIT: Another rev...

Wow it looks like a 'power source/generator thing' in futuristic/sci-fi movie(mmm actually maybe just like a one line motorcycle cylinder block), certainly looks more evil than thier previous design,but still a reserator copy in the heart. Horizontal fins....again?Nice meat slicer but might perform ...

According to Rusty075 in: Zalman VF-900 thread : Zalman, like pretty much every other top-tier HSF manu, uses wicking heatpipes now, which are orientation independent. in this thread about bending vga heatpipe , Endosteel showed that the one Zalman used for vga is wicked internal heatpipe, he also g...

The Polar Freezer does weigh more and posses more surface area of dissipation compared to another Zalman copytakes, so it would perform better than the rest, the problem is Be Quiet products seem only available in some of Schengens(and UK maybe). Those pictures are unreleased Scythe heatlane VGA coo...

http://www.galaxytech.com/ The new cards are not yet available on their site. They are Hong Kong based company,so not as widely distributed over the world as taiwanese,but their previous 6600s&6800s are more affordable ones since they are equipped with lower price and Zalman cooler. 6800XT (how woul...

Spcr member report of VM-102 on 6800LE personally I trust most German review (like Teschke,Fan-X,Dirkvader,tweakers4u,&hartware,etc),since most of German site run the test in a more scientific approach,pay attention to details,and low noise oriented. This teschke site has long been dedicated to low ...

I can't wait to see some 7600/7900 GT's with factory cooling solutions that are a bit more elegant than the reference box coolers. Galaxy cards those employ Zalman coolers are shown here that passive 7600GT looks gorgeous 8) ,oh and a non- green PCB too :mrgreen: 7900GT with VF900 7600 GT-VF700 Pas...

There was a previous "discussion" about this thing.

Another one at Dirkvader , comparison included alu katana and noise measurement. I've reached the point that this is yet just another XP90C vs XP90, not really worth the copper stuffed there,unless for those who would swap the fan to 92mm Tornado,or maybe just if they employed thermal sprayed micro...

Review at ProClockers compares both and shows the full copper version give 1C advantage on Low and 3C on High,however the reviewer didn't mentioned ambient temp(and am I the only one who can't find WTH of CPU he used on the review?) Test system , ambient temperature was 71.6F. :o Huh? I was talking...

It looks like the card is designed to be a graphic mainboard+upgradable GPU(s), in the past people think that it would be very cool if we can upgrade the GPU like changing CPU.

Copper version of Scythe Katana reviewed by OCModShop The review would have been more meaningful if they could test it against Aluminum Katana. Also, ~600g is quite a lot to take for 370/A sockets. Review at ProClockers compares both and shows the full copper version give 1C advantage on Low and 3C...

Is it just me or they really just true&honest this time?

They showed figures of its Performance in the middle of the page, which shows its FAN performance, I thought they designed this one as cooling system,then bright idea came to incoporate power supply into that fanned enclosure.

Real question is, how does it attach to the MB, and can a solid connection be made? I tried another Thermalright with a similar design for my processor, and I could not get it to attach firmly enough to do a decent job. I had to conclude that the mounting hardware could have been designed better. W...

Scooter - Hello!(Good to Be Back) How old are those Scooter guys anyway? 40? :lol: I remember Move Your Ass! being a big hit when i was a kid.. :mrgreen: Sure they're not as old as Rolling Stones, their songs are still catchy and seems like they write lyrics by searching any words those suit the...

The fins distance is too tight to take advantage from case airflow, it should be ducted.
ArcticOC went fanless and ducted his vapochill micro to PSU in this thread

Overclockers would take the hassle to remove the heatspeaders to lower 2-5C :D But I suppose someone must get this one to allow using all copper Ninja SCNJ-1000Cu :lol: on his/her Turion. It seemed that most the article I found related to Age-Hardenable copper alloys(wire/sheet form) as Berrylium Co...

I'm using the Centurion and am quite happy with it. It's well made, and although I'd prefer all black, I don't find the silver as unpleasant as I was concerned that I would. It's got good ventilation and with the mesh front, you get pretty good air moving over the HDD even though there's no fan in ...

I am considering a uATX case for 2 boxes : Box 1 : Sempron 2800 (max OC at default Vcore), integrated everything, 1 HDD, 1 CDRW, S12-330 possibly Box 2 : Opteron 144 (max OC at default Vcore), 6800GS/X1600XT (about 55W), 1 HDD, DVDRW, S12-430 likely. Cooler Master Centurion uATX [+] 2 x 80 mm fans,...

some reviews....

DVHArdware (nice review and comments )

She got sacked after the last gig of their tour.. Apparently they didnt get along very well anymore so the rest of the band decided to sack her. And my guess is that Nightwish wont return. Damn! I must have lived inside a cave(well a container office actually..), the equation is Tarja=Nightwish so ...

Congrats Victri, worth the measurement&llustration done,it looks more tight fit compared to Centurion chassis (previously I only based on 'brave try' effort) :lol: I also understand your choice to employ fan, looks like older CM cases only uses 1 80mm exhaust fan. Well just post your temp at certain...

Madshrimps' review Shame the reviewer didn't state how low the board can undervolt the CPU; from the look of the Vcore menu I reckon it can go down to about 1.1V. Also it has probably the biggest stock northbridge heatsink I think I've ever seen! CPU Voltage 0.800V~1.850V Vcore BIOS screenshoot For ...
