Cooling (and quieting) my 9800 Pro

I too have a 9800 Pro with an Arctic Silencer, and it's amazing. You don't always feel a lot of air moving out the back, but it definately does a great job of keeping the card cool, and it makes very very little noise.

My water cooled case

Awesome, thanks. Now I just need to figure out exactly what parts I want to get. I'm trying to make sure everything meshes perfectly, and a bunch of things are more in depth than I expected.

My water cooled case

Looking at either a heater core (10 1/2" x 6" x 2") or a Black Ice Pro II (133x227x25mm) Sorry for the two different measurements, Voyeurmods didn't list the heatercore in metric. Still havent decided between the two of them. On the one hand I hear a heatercore will work better, but on the...

My water cooled case

Looks very nice, that was a case I was looking at for the rig I want to do. Did you fit everything in there w/o modding? The only real difference is that I'm looking to have a 120.2 Radiator, would that fit in the front if I had.. **thinks** 4 items for 5 1/4" bays? (I am IDing that...

Extended ATX-form case

Hey guys, I'm working on piecing together a new comp, with a nice big full tower for watercooling and such. Problem is, 90% of the cases I am reccomended are listed as Extended ATX, and I dont see many EATX MoBos. Will a regular ATX board still fit in the case?

Good cases for Watercooling?

Thanks a ton guys. :) Still gonna have to take a while to look around for things, but i'm gathering there's no way around having to mod the case for the radiator? Never having modded a case before I'd like to avoid having my first time be on a $200 Lian-Li case O_o;;; As a ref, i'm looking at...

Good cases for Watercooling?

Looking to build a new system and watercool it. I've been hearing that watercooling takes a lot of room, and often requires you to cut up the case if you use a heatercore. What kind of cases are good for watercooling? I'd need something with a good PSU obviously (Unless you guys can reccomend...

Looking to do watercooling

Hey guys, looking to put some watercooling in my comp, and didn't see a FAQ for a couple of the questions I had. From other threads i've gathered you need tubing, a waterblock for the GPU/CPU, Pump, resivoir and radiator. However, I haven't seen anything that tells how to figure out what kind...

sata drives

I have a seagate 200GB Barracuda, and while it's IDE and not SATA, I'll say it runs plenty quiet for me. Sure I hear it a bit, but compared to all the other HDD's i've had, it's very soft.

Harddrive Upgrade questions

What exactly is partitioning good for? One of my friends partitioned off a bit for use with a UNIX OS for one of our classes, but other than that I've never really seen it used.

Harddrive Upgrade questions

Built my computer over the fall with a 200GB Seagate 7200 RPM IDE hard drive. As of right now though, I have about 9GB remaining, filled the rest with the OS, games, Anime fan subs, etc, so I'm looking to add more. I've been seeing a lot of stuff on these boards about people having a small...

New Build Has Inadequate Performance in WoW for me.

Yea I'd agree that something's up, I run an athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.2GHz and a Radeon 9800 Pro 256 megs. 1280x1024 Reso, max settings except ansiotropic filtering. Occasionally get a lil video lag, but not often at all.

Random temp fluxuations

Ok, quick further update: I just powered down my computer, opened the side up, turned on my room fan and let it sit for ~10 mins before turning it back on. Now my CPU temp is idling at 25 again. (THOUGHT I had tried this before, maybe i'm just dumb). Edit: After letting it cool: Idle...

Random temp fluxuations

Updated the bios last night, they're current. And those temps sound like what they WERE listed at. I'm still trying to figure out what causing it, because it just randomly reset to 52 a couple days ago, and then again yesterday. Before it hit those temps, it was running BEAUTIFULLY at like 27'...

Random temp fluxuations

Alright, I'll make sure I've got the thermal goop on really well. My stock HS came with the tape that was already on it, so are there any particulars to smearing on the arctic silver? or will it explain on the package? Also, I may have asked this before but what's the best thing to use to clean...
