I see the Zalman front panel in the text but you reference a picture of it that's nowhere to be seen. I wanna see it!

Actually, I believe that Vista requires HDCP video cards only for High Def video playback, looking at the Vista site shows that the 6800 series is Vista ready and they're far behind the HDCP curve as they were produced long before its inception. Personally I don't care about HDCP since I have...

I've got a 7600GT here that's HDCP compliant so lower that GPU cost from $200 a bit.

The Quadfather with the 8800GTX SLI won't boot into windows with less than a 700W PSU but 700W and up will do the job just fine. I'd say that the 2KW would run two of those setups with ease.

Don't follow his instructions on the thermal paste. For exposed cores you always spread it to a thin layer, a blob won't always spread out 100% to full coverage. The blob method is only for cores with an integrated heat spreader like a CPU. I was just sitting there going "WATAF? This guy's...

Jon's got one on hand, he's running a Quadfather (The setup formerly known as 4X4) on it with dual 8800GTX's in SLI. He seems to be rather impressed with it.

With the Thermalright (not Thermaltake) the CPU fan would do the job of pushing air through the rad for the heatpipe if it's installed as per the pic I found on their site. But what the hey, buy something with another fan to fail again, it's no problem of mine, I'll quit trying to help.

Well, crap, I was not looking at the vid card list, that's a hokey way of mounting it, the illustration I show would work with no issues but having it at an angle is useless. WTF is up with that shiz? edit: here they install it the way I'm saying, I can't see why it won't work that way in SLI.

Here's what I'm talking about, the blue where the sink is is the base of the HR05, the blocks to the right are the heatpipes with the circles being the tops of the heatpipes. The rectangle the heatpipes terminate in is the rad for the heatpipes. Yes it's over that molex but that molex isn't...

The pipes would be on the upper side of the card, the rad would be on the right hand side of the NB as your pic shows. Thermalright lists your mobo as compatible fully with the unit so I'm sure that they've tested it in single and SLI settings.

Stork, if you turn that with the pipes exiting up the rad part of the heatsink will be over the top 7800 and under the CPU HSF. Use your head ol' buddy.

With the design of his mobo (nb hsf under vid cards) I'd say running it fanless is a quick trip to trouble-ville. That little hs has hardly any surface area.

Here's a link to the HR05 chipset cooler...the best part is it's fanless.

That's the northbridge and to pull it you have to just yank out the pushpins. Thermalright makes a slick heatpipe cooler for the DFI SLI/Ultra mobos that should fill the bill quite nicely.

No problem, congrats on selling it :)

Those will be worthless for anyone with a mobo that uses the adjacent slots for dual channel such as the MSI NF4 X16 Diamond like I put in Vince's PC to replace this A8N32 or the Fatal1ty I have sitting in the air cooling rig I'm building. Not only do they both use 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 for dual...

That won't tell you squat about the overall power consumption of whatever you're testing. It'll just tell you the amplitude of the waveform and the waveform shape. Just who cares about that besides geeks? No-one, besides, the Power Angel runs $30 or so, an O-Scope runs $200 and the Stingray runs...

Happy Festivus to all!

A different gadget perhaps or maybe videotaping it but it doesn't average or record high/low voltages. It does record the total KW/Hr but that's it. I wish it did what you're asking about though for the very same reason.

I really don't see that as being suitable for kids...
