[QUOTE="littlematt, post: 80484, member: 25302"] Hi guys this is my first post so would like to say I love the project its exactly what I was looking for! Have spent a considerable sum building my HTPC around a 3800x2/antecNSK2400/DFIRS482 and its real quiet with a zalman CNPS9500 cooler. I have speedfan set up and the two 12cm fans the case came with pull enough air across the heatsink to keep it at about 33 deg idle temp with the HS fan off! Really happy with it so far but my question is this... I need a fanless GPU that I can game with seeing as everything else is fairly high spec. Its gotta be an ATI according to my MB docs (ATI chipset). I have seen a couple of models but as I understand it orientation of heatpipes is kinda important. IE the GPU card will be mounted vertically and I will have a big ass copper CPU HS next to it so space is an issue too.... I like the sound of a GeCube SilenCool X800XL but looking at the heatpipes I dont think they would work well mounted vertically? my price limit (not target!) is around 400NZD wondering if any of you have some advice for me on a solution..? Cher cher, Matt p.s It took me a long time getting my rig set up lots of trial and error if any kiwis want advice about New Zealand freqs, EPG and stuff feel free to give me a shout! [/QUOTE]
