    Would putting Arctic Silver 5 on my eVGA 6800 be a good idea?

    I did it on my 6800gt. It made a 3C difference at idle with the stock cooler by applying AS5 only on the core. Thought you would like the "real world" reference to see if its worth it.

    Need help.ASUS A8V..Cant get SATA drive installed.

    I dont have the motherboard but I heard you have to figure out first what controller you are using, the VIA one or the Promise one (it depends on where you are hooking it up. I think the Promise controller uses drivers named "fastrack" that you can copy from the cd to a floppy with the make...

    Lian Li V1200B Dual Pump

    Nice job, great looking system. The felt is a nice touch. About the cpu temps, have any theory about it (reinstall the water block)?

    Radiator Placement?

    You are correct, I should say lower pressure and not "negative pressure". I'll edit it. The mystical wind is just that. I said "if you imagine a wind". I am inventing it just to make an example. What I want to say is that if you create an area of lower pressure air would get sucked in...

    Radiator Placement?

    Like you have stated, killernoodle, when you watercool the overall inside case temperature drops. As you say, the vast majority of heat is going to the radiator. What you want to really cool down you are already cooling it with the water blocks; it doesn't matter throwing some hot air from...

    BEAWARE of eVGA!!

    To all those saying nickia is an idiot for not getting 6800GT: He said he needed Dual DVI. The 6800GT doesn't have it. He is losing function plus paying $25. Read before the "flame".

    Radiator Placement?

    The heat is dissipating into the air passing thru the radiator. The greater the difference between the temperature of the air and the hot water going thru it, the better cooling capacity you will have. If you add an air conditioner into the mix... About you reading temps: Your instruments...

    Radiator Placement?

    In page 4 of the watercooling gallery sticky you can see the variety of radiator placements for different computer cases. I think it is mostly based on how to work around your case dimensions and existing components(like if your 120mm rad will fit between the psu and drives). In the Lian Li...
