What do you think? Any suggestions?
How is the fan with the Scythe Ninja? Do I need the additional Nexus 120mm to replace it, or is it very quiet already?
I haven't installed a VGA Silencer before - is it easy? I've successfully installed a Zalman 7000B on a Pentium 4 with Ceramique before.
Thank you in advance.
