Exactly. What would be ideal is if there as a system kept operating for nothing but testing CPU coolers. That way you would be able to see how well they stack up against each other, and not against a specific CPU. I don't care if a Prescott runs hotter than a quad above 3.5ghz only on...

Well for now I have to stick with nVidia since ASUS is upgrading my m2n-sli to the m2n32-sli since they don't have any more m2ns on the shelf. The best laid plans of mice and men...

So the Nirvana is as good as the Thermalright Ultra 120 or the Silverstone NT08 or not as good?

Nor I. I had a KVM switch once, which would be the idea solution for a setup like this but it never worked right and went back. The d-sub would also be adequate in this case, since your running something less demanding. Does Overdrive let you completely shutdown your PCI GPUs?

I found most of those at least once all around the web. What is the sudden interest in on-board video again, is it part of the 790GX? That's something that I will pay for that I will never ever use, unless no one is around to make me eat my words.

I need a recommendation of a upper lever AMD/crossfire boards. I found the ASUS M3A79-T deluxe but there has to be more than one that costs this much and had all the bells and whistles. MSI, DFI and EVGA have struck out thus far. Does Soyo still make good boards?

I would have to go back and look to see how similar the systems that were used to compare all the coolers. Would it be practical to keep devoted system for benchmarking and spreadsheet or something prettier that you could track of all the tested coolers? Your smarter than me so I'm sure you...

Hate to resurrect a dead thread. Why wasn't the ZEROTherm NV120 "Nirvana" featured in this article? Would it have out performed all the others or is it middle of the road compared to the rest?

doh.. Is that the pixeling you get? boy, good thing I just realized that I shafted myself again when I bought a nVidia mobo. It won't run crossfire so whats the point in buying an AMD card(s)...

I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's that thread I was referring to about having a list of nVidia cards ranked and ordered by someone that doesn't work for nVidia. tada! It's not like I'll ever buy another nVidia product but for someone that might, I hope that helps.

Well, the newest one works. Makes me happy, but the board is still out and I think that the Dragon has finally died.

I thought about upgrading my Thinkpad to a SSD just to allow a longer battery life. I haven't dropped it yet but I agree the shock protection is an added incentive. That's not a bad price, if you need a drive I would say go ahead and try it. It's more expensive but maybe next time it will...

LOL....I may do the hood of my car, next Merlin Hmm..I could do that to the front of my Cosmos, but the gloss is too nice I don't want to cover that up, maybe the top tray instead. Oh please no! Unless you have one of those pointless I mean super cool aluminum wings on the back of your...

Why did you stop at 54, you break the bit? To think that you have been half a$$ing it all this time...ugh. But the paint is cool, you overly that mesh in the background and spray a lighter color?

I am cautiously optimistic that monday when my new silencer comes, it will work. To show that I guess I'll say the my Hiper s580 is also for sale. I have all the mod cables and the extensions, you can find it here. Just find my post, its tucked up in the case.

Yes, I had it plated at a shop not far from here. I don't think it cools much better, since it's just copper over the aluminum. Looks better since the radiator matches the heat pipes/

I'll run them with Speedfan or I'll play more with Cool n Quiet and see if that will do it.

Ahhh...that would make sense. But it has worked before and that was the key.

That would be a lot of work to have one go bad and then buy another to get it replaced for free. I thought of that already but it has a 5 year warranty and this model isn't 5 years old so there would be no reason I would return it to Newegg because it's bad. Now still thinking outside the box...

Them be the ones. I still can't stand the color, but I could take a rattle can to them and make it all black. So if you like them then I'll get some on order.
