Alot of people have said that but it does what it says on the tin...very happy with it :D

Whats the tin say? The problem with the CM stuff is its basically an air cooler with an acrylic house and some barbs. The "fin" design just doenst work well with watercooling. Sure it looks nice, but thats about all it does.

Hey, l337x3r1cx, I think you put the VF-700 on your X1800XL backwards.

Whats backwards about it?
 
i'm pretty sure that the large part on top is supposed to be covering the ram heat spreaders on that GPU, but it's all personal preference...

yup, same amount as the X850XT, the the hsf is just 2 slots thick the whole way through, and as for the zalman being backwards, the mem heatsinks let me get up to 750mem when previously i was only at 675 so i dont think it being backwards was hurting anything :D anyways i fixed it now

Keeps my 450mhz oc'd x2 at 35 degrees that what it does....considering I was given it, it cools the cpu better than the stock fan I got with the x2, so can't complain.

And yes we are agreed it looks the part :D

I like them a lot. Very quiet, and gets the hot air out of the case, where it should be. Only problem for me is, the ram plate on the back doesnt stick. Its held on by some crappy thermal tape, but I have a Lian Li V2000, so the cards are "upside down", with the ram plate on the bottom, towards the bottom of the case. And the ram plate does not stay with the tape they supplied.

The ASUS A8N SLI Premium gives them plenty of room to breath :)

Where did you get the gtx to replace the 6800? I'd love to swap out the 6800 in my 9300, but I didn't even think it was possible.

Order from Dell spare parts, part number HF594 . For awhile you could get them for $258 shipped. Now they're in the $300 range, but if you call at the right time and get the right rep, you can still get it for $250 I think :D

I had the privilege of installing and benching an X1900XT last weekend. I must say, it's a fantastic card, plays every game I threw at it with unbelievable ease. No pics though, sorry :p

A pretty large difference, I made a thread when I installed my first one. The results are about the same when I installed the second one. The top card is a few degrees warmer than the bottom now.
 
@ ZINN
Why don't you remove the two PCI slot covers beside your 7800GT's so the Silencers can blow the air OUT of the case, instead of it just blowing at the back of your case.

They include another slot cover that is ventilated, as seen here on mine.
