Heres my rig, the room is was in a bit of a mess when i took those pics with my nokia n70.

Notice the huge 14cm fan at the front yep 14, not 12, 14!

CPU Temp is about 33-34 deg C. system is about 27. Graphics is about 49seems rather hot, is this bad for an nvidia 6800?

if you had room in the HDD bays im sure you could. you could even put it in the fdd / cd bays and then make holes in the face plates which cover empty bays to allow more air flow through the fan. I'm not exactly sure how you'd go about making the holes which you'd mount the fan with, but someone here can help with that i'd guess.

i spent alllllllllll day saturday trying to do it, have given up on mounting it inside the case. the solid side panel is taking a trip to the workshop, to have a circle cut out of it, at the level of the hdd bays. should provide a bit of air around the back of them, and as this is the dustiest part of my pc, it'll be good to get some flow around there!

honestly, its digusting what you find in a pc if you really take it apart. i pulled ALL my case panels apart off the main chassis, looked like i had a mini mountain range in there.

My 6800GT idles mush higher than that (not good for me) so I wouldn't worry about that temp you're getting. GPUs in general will run much warmer than a CPU simply because they are wildly more complex.

If im not mistaken, either antec or vantec makes brackets to hold a fan in the HDD bays

Triple6mafia · 08-30-2006, 04:38 PM

i think i added them right. The first pic was before my new heatsink and 3 tornado's lost my 3 blue lights :(, 2nd pic is with heat sink in. dont have a pic yet of my tidewater cooler for the vga yet but will repost in a couple days

ebackhus · 08-30-2006, 05:35 PM

Are the green/orange/red lights VU meters or lights on the RAM?

Triple6mafia · 08-30-2006, 06:10 PM

the lights on the ram show the activy of each module, so if I think the comp is locked up, i check the lights if there moving then i now everthing will be ok, red means there working hard green means go, ps how do i add a sig at the end of this, i made one the says specs of pc but i cant get to add

**laboye** · 08-30-2006, 08:05 PM

http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair...048-3200C2.pdf what i did want but settled for less, this ram u can program stuff to say on it, or u can get info like speed/volts or ur owen custom message

Triple6mafia · 09-01-2006, 01:05 PM

notice that i have twist tie's on one of the black hoses, that is because the hose covers half of a ram chip. i had to move it to mount a heatsink, i will let the silver 5 settle in and try to losen the hose and see if it nocks off the heatsink. but hear is my cooler for my bfg 6800 gt oc,

Sgt_Grim_Reaper · 09-28-2006, 03:24 AM

Sorry, don't have a pic. I'm running an overclocked FX-115 Casio Calculator with a IBM ball mouse hardwired and an etch-a-sketch monitor. It's not bad, but FPS games make me dizzy. Future upgrades include a cordless nintendo controller with turbo.

hehe.
