Show off your Heatsink thread

so i'm guessing he had to run the cables before he put the mobo in? doesn't seem like some of the cable connectors are small enough to fit in the gap between the mobo and case.

nice man.....i love the clean set up with the exception of a few wires.....btw is that a praetorian or a wavemaster? or even an ATC? :p
 
It's a black praetorian. I do want to make my setup cleaner, but i have to get sleeving, and I'm impatient. Easy lazy man tips welcomed.

i just got my zalman 7700 cu...jesus christ this thing weighs a ton.....do the xp's weigh this much?
 
nope, the xps are mostly aluminium (bar the xp90 copper version of course) so they're lighter

Edit: @ erf

Here you go:

Here's what I'm running right now. I think it's an ATI 9600 board but I can't remember. Those damn capacitors on the back really get in the way!! And it looks like just about every other ATI card has caps in the same area too. So I'm living with it though. You can see the card has to bend slightly to fit in there between the two Coolermaster heatsinks...

It's a real shame this card sucks because it fits perfectly! I believe this is a nVidia FX5400 or something. My ATI card runs circles around it in UT2004 and it won't run dual-screen. I'll probably pick up another nVidia card sometime soon as it looks like they will fit in between my two coolers (no pesky caps sitting there on the end of the card)...

Excuse the light dust buildup. It's a Thermalright SP-97, the fan is a 92mm Panaflo Medium, and the thermal compound is Ceramique.

The CPU's are 3.2Ghz Xeon Irwindales running at 3.5 and 218 FSB. The heatsinks are stock passive versions. I made a mistake when ordering the processors, I ment to get the active cooled ones but it turned out to my advantage because the passive heatsinks are a little bigger. I just had to figure out how to attach the fans. Being a helicopter mechanic, I figured I would just safety wire them on but all I had was some gardining wire the wife uses on her plants. That turned out to be a good thing also because the gardining wire has a thin plastic coating on it. A few minutes later....Bam! active cooling! :D

Load temps are 37c running 4 instances of F@H so I'm not complaning. ;)
