Anyone have a recommendation for an Aluminum case that can handle the size of the GTX 280 / 4870 X2 and be able to handle a good size CPU Heatsink solution?
well the heatsink/thermal paste was the problem. I used the stuff that came with the tuniq tower (ceramic based I think) in the first place and it was hard to spread out across the cpu. I obviously didn't do a good enough job of spreading out the paste.
I cleaned up the heatsink/CPU. Used...
Well after reading the review of the Tuniq Tower here at Anandtech I saw of picture of it mounted on a motherboard and immediately knew what my problem was.
I was so freaked out about having the screws of the heatsink touching the bottom of the motherboard tray that it looks like, compared...
- To get by the first part...it was the CPU 12v plug. It wasn't fully plugged in.

Just wondering since I just set up my FTP and using it an awful lot. Guy at work here told me that I could get "capped" if they see my bandwith go over a certain amount...
I had to remove the heatsink from my CPU and wanted to put it back on. The small square with adhesive on it on the bottom of the heatsink is not all screwed up. Can i just scrape the rest of the residue off it and apply something else to make it stick to the CPU? What should I use?
