    8800GTS in a Shuttle SN25P

    Well it works...err worked. The Shuttle Powersupplies are really good, so I had no doubts that the 350W would power it. It fit a little tight, but it fit. Ran hot, but once I upped the fan speed a bit it was comfortably warm with a high 50s idle, and load in the 60s-low 70s...not bad for a...

    Are the s754 and s939 stock heatsinks the same?

    I'm selling my socket 754 3400+ which is now replaced by a socket 939 4000+ and I'm not 100% sure if I still have the 754 heatsink, but I am not using the stock unit that came with the 4000+...so basically, are they interchangeable? I can't check right now as I'm at work. Thanks!
