yeah most decent coolers these days are pretty big, hmm we should start writing companies and complaining lol
I think we should,Do a Computerforum Petition
While im at it il complain/Rant to Gigabyte about the second Pci-e slot location on my mobo
They should know better!

i dont even think ram without a heatsink would fit under the cpu heatsink.... i can be for sure but it doesnt even look big enough to fit a normal stick.

is it to close to the others or something?
Right at the bottom,in the way of USB power ports,Case connections and virtually impossible to install a graphics card there unless its a slim cooler one.
Take a look at a pic on google,fail board.

I've got no other use for it. It was originally for my sister's build, but it won't fit in her case and hers came with a 9800GT anyway, which more than meets her needs.
I'm considering selling both cards though and investing in a GTX460 (or 560 depending how prices are)
You should turn the cooler the other way round and do Push/Pull too
Very nice system though,That a 5770 or something?
Not sure on the mobo colour
With my system,I think i found out why it performs like crap when i have the GTX 460 + 8800GT as dedicated Physx.....been a dumbass ive only just found out that my mobo is only Crossfire,So even though im not doing SLI it probably does not like there been two Nvidia cards in there at the same time. :/
I'm thinking more move the fan from the rear to top of the case. The main intake to the case is pushing up, from the PSU section to the main section, so the best way to have it, as there are no front intake slots, is bottom to top.
Also, I can't orientate my cooler that way, it can only be the way it is now unfortunately because of the clip rather than screws.
Yes it is a 5770, however at the moment I have just my 260 in.
And I really really like this board, even if it is the same colour as an old woman's carpet

It wouldn't be any use for 3 reasons:
1. as I mentioned, the airflow goes from top to bottom, so the orientation it is in now is the best way to have it
2. it is drawing cold air over the nb heatsink, which won't affect the CPU temps, maybe a degree or two, but will keep the nb much cooler
3. currently sat at mid 20s under load. If it aint broke, don't fix it
oh, and I just noticed something very bad about my mobo:
1 of the fan headers is dead. Called Scan, they said just bring it in they will give me a brand new one as they have them in stock. 2 brand new boards in less than a week

my system serves 3 purposes:
Gaming
Forums
College work
the last one doesn't happen much
I can play every game out now, full settings on all, full AA/AF @ 1280x1024 at at least 80+FPS.
My GTX260 is purely for Physx. Basically, my ATi card sits there doing all of the graphics processing, my Nvidia sits there doing all the Physics processing, my CPU does the rest, of which there is not a lot

790X chipset, crossfire only unfortunately
I was looking at selling the cards though and getting myself a decent single card, either GTX460 or a decent dual-GPU card, 4870x2, 9800GTx2, or, if I can get one for the right price, GTX295.
If I were to get a 4870x2, could get another later down the line for quad crossfire
but then, I would probably be better going with a single card again

It doesn't say how you did it, just shows results. Still, that's very cool- i'd love to read a thread on the whole process. Not encouraging talk of anything illegal though, as I am told you don't need to do anything of the nature to access it. I just find it interesting and it would affect my gpu purchase choices a lot.

aastii, did you miss my post right above you or something? lol
lol I posted as you were posting, so when I was writing, your post wasn't there
It isn't illegal per se, it is like the selling your Steam account, it is against the EULA, but you won't get thrown in jail for it, your account will just get banned, along with all of your games. What sanctions Nvidia would put on you though, I'm not sure. Either way, I can't say how it is done, other than I have done it
