I have a Venus 12 on my FX-53, and quite frankly im not that impressed. With the latest Bios update on my Neo2 idle temp is at 37 with max load at 51. Granted this is with the fan at about 4600, so its not maxed out, but its still pretty darned loud at this setting. I'm not sure how the zalman...

I can wholeheartedly recommend the 710T. Im running it on the DVI port, and LOVE it. I had a 19" CRT before, and there just isn't any comparison as far as I'm concerned. I game a lot, and I don't notice any ghosting.

Actually, you got me thinking Degrador (not sure if that's a good thing... ):confused: That Silencer has a bit of "extra" plastic on it for the vent that I could Dremel off and replace with a duct that would take up a third slot below the vid card. Which method do you guys think would cool...

Because it's meant for the single slot solutions, and my Ultra is dual slot. The Silencer would end up venting into solid metal, and I'm not about to wip out the Dremel on my nice new $500+ card and void my warranty so that it will vent properly.

Yeah, I know my case temp sucks, but like I said, it will be going down soon when I get my new case fans. Many 6800's that people are running may be at this temp, but its still too hot for my liking. Damn thing runs hotter than my FX-53, which is ridiculous. At the very least I want to get...

OK, built my dream machine, worked out all the kinks, and I love it. Hell of a jump from an old Intel 733 from HP (yuck) I haven't replaced the stock fans that come with my lian li case yet, so it gets a bit toasty inside. Vid card temp monitor says ambient is at 44 C, and vid card idles at...

Hey Neo, could you do me a favor and post your machine's specs? I too have the Neo2 mobo, and I've been having one heck of a time trying to get this thing up and running... If I can actually get the OS installed, it ends up crapping out not long after when I try to install drivers. I had...

I've been through so many retries, its hard for me to remember exactly when the blue screens that I can actually read occur. The error messages are the generic XP crap, the STOP line is pretty long, followed by the "mountmgr.sys" line below that. I'll write it down next time. Seems like those...

OK, so I got all of my parts in for my new comp (FX-53, Neo 2, 6800 ultra...the works...), and I've run into some really weird problems... First off, im trying to run a single SATA Seagate 120, and unless I set the "Gate A20" option in BIOS to normal (instead of fast) the install disk Seagate...
