Ever thought about getting some aftermarket coolers for your 8800GT's ? I had the eVGA "Superclocked" card and it was running on around 55 degrees idle and hitting a good 80-85 on load, with a 50% fan speed. Since then I slapped on the Thermaltake DuOrb, and it's brought my 8800GT to 32-35 degrees idle, and 43-45 degrees on load. As the DuOrb only has a molex connector, it has to run at maximum fan speed, but I have found that it's still quieter than the stock cooler. Definately worth the investment if you have the cash floating around.

I am looking cos the fan output is directed into the case,which means the case gets very warm at the mo. I have the side off and have 3X120mm fans directed at the cardsView attachment 2677

[TonyG]

Left the pc on while I did a bit of running around,gets in, checking post on here ok.Goes to make coffee come back lost wireless connection,checks router and bits,checks software runs ok but no IP.Resets router and pc still the same.Removed Wireless card and restalls once again still no IP address.Started to restall wireless software and DVD starts grinding noise,take disc out,puts back in no noise.All installs ok but still no IP address.So switched machines.

Do I spy a couple of Akasa Vortexx Neo's? Excellent cooler, worked wonders on my old 7900

Looking good atm matey.

 

[TonyG]

Just installed them about 30 mins ago

Bigger Pic.

To complete this rig off,installing 1 or 2 UV Cathode lights,2 temp sensors and a side window.

 

[TonyG]

Added the 2 UV cathodes,trying to decide where to place the temp sensors.

 

[VonBlade]

Oooh. Very nice. Amazing the difference some quality cable routing can make to a case. My cathodes look like a candle in comparison.

 

[TonyG]

Wait until u see the window I am doing for the side.

 

[TonyG]

Lights off.
