4 slots!!

Yes please! Too bad we don't get Yeston in the states. :'(

No thanks, I would prefer two slot coolers for crossfire setups.

Although it would be nice for people not interested in crossfire. Much better use for those PCI-E slots then just leaving them open.

I thought this one was pretty impressive. Hope he has something to support the top of the heatsink.

Wow. There's a point where I feel one should just go water. The weight of that thing on the poor PCI-e slot, yikes.

 

[nitromullet]

LOL, that's ridiculous! If you really need better than stock cooling that badly at some point you just need to submit to water.

Love the zip-ties. You can see in another picture on that page that he's supporting the top of the heatsink with some white foam, still, he's playing with fire there. Also notice he has nothing on the RAM and VRMs (maybe a fan but that's not gonna do much). How was he able to get 1250/1874 without RAM-sinks?

excuse me.. totally bad idea!
you cant CF that.. thats just a waste of space. i could see three slot if you wanted one card but 4 is too much. too many ports are lost on the board for it to be of any practical use.
thats like big bertha artillery pieces.. who in the f invented the idea of a gun so big that you need a rail line just to fire the thing!

xtremesystems forums are buggy as usual. If it's not some weird bug, they're lagged to crap.

Can you imagine that for the 7990 with 3 12cm fans?

 

[Joseph F]

I bet that you could get to 1.35GHz with that, easily.

Why would XtremeSystems go down for SOPA (a day late no less)? I'm pretty sure most people who visit that site is well aware of the problem.

Ah yes. I see that now. Fortunately up here the internet is not getting the Fahrenheit 451 treatment.
