Soltek EQ-3801A

[Kartajan]

Looking to build a "all-purpose" SFF using a Soltek EQ-3801A, AMD Athlon64 3500+ and a Radeon 9800 Pro (The card in question does not have the additional power plugs)

The last SFF I built was a FIC with a P4 2.8C and a 9600XT, and I had to adjust things a bit due to occasionally exceeding the "thermal budget" of the case.

Anybody have experience with the A64 setup above that can speak to the potential heat issue? I figure that I would be close, but not sure if I would be over the limits of the stock cooling ability of that particular case.

Thanx!

I didnt have to use any more cooling. I run about 45 idle but i can peg it at 60c after playing games for a while

how are you gonna use the A64 3500+, its one of the new 939pin A64's and the 3801A is still 754pin

I'm sorry, I meant 3400+...

Here's a thread from a associate of mine who is currently putting one together link He'll be updating with more info if you are interested in his results.

Seriously, you don't to get a soltek, they are the worst cooled SFF machine available.

Really huh I don't think its the worst cooled unit ever. Plus it uses a normal heatsink so you can upgrade to what ever you want. Also, it runs the mobiles and 275FSB.
