FT02 Build Advice
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 4:48 am
Hi All,
I'm moving my rig to an FT02, but have concerns about VGA cooling. I emailed Silverstonetek about the Scythe musashi, and they said cooling performance would be decreased due to heatpipe orientation. Great. My stock VGA coolers have horizontally oriented heatpipes, but they exhaust mostly downwards (towards the bottom of the FT02), which they say decreases performance.
So I have two questions:
1) are there any VGA coolers that owners know works well in the FT02
2) One my cards takes up the 6th and 7th expansion slots. My optical drive clearance is fine but is it going to get enough airflow?
Thanks, any advice is appreciated. Should I just get an Antec 1200 and be done with it?
