Part of the reason I ordered them. I'm also fed up of 80+ temps in an AC'd room & cards failing too often. Lets hope I can mod the rack case enough to fit 4 of the buggers in
Check out Coolamasta's thread and you'll find this by yours truely "What annoyed me most about these coolers is that you can't quite fit them into normally double spaced slots, they are only a millimetre or so too thick. I think probably this could be fixed with some hot tools (poker? file? dremel?) but I haven't really looked hard. Coolamasta does mention this at the start of his thread, and see the final picture, but I thought I'd emphasise the point. " So you'll have to mod the coolers as well as the case. And if you are worried about the noise, even as low as 7v gives better cooling than stock (PNY 256Mb 8800GT).
Well despite the Met Office getting it wrong in regards to the Summer temps in my office at present with the doors open still 27.5C I had another 8800gt go to silicone heaven so PPD is going backwards at present. No permenant money on the Horizon for the Job front cant afford to replace it at present. Oh the trials and tribulations of folding
Not to bad here in the garage, around 25C at the mo. Plenty of air flow. Bit muggy in general though here. Been decorating and it's sweaty work. Especially as all my 'missed' bit's are picked up straight away by the mrs!! GPU's still at 49/52 on 511's though, so working well. Hope something appears on the job front soon Vince.
