two questions

[orthancstone]

1. I'm thinking of buying either the GC68 or a OCZ Dominator 2 with that blue whisper fan (cause i'm not dealing with a screamer). I have a Giga-Byte 7-VTXE and i was wondering if the GC68 would even fit on it picture of 7-VTXE. As you can see from what i've circled, there are some capacitors close to the socket... I cannot quite tell and i was wondering if anyone knew for sure.

2. I have an Antec SX 830 and i was wondering...what is that "card guide" (or whatever it is called) thing next to the front fans used for?

I think the gc-68 will fit since it has a 60 mm base

The card guide is for extra long pci-cards (think voodoo6000)

ah. well, guess the card guide is useless to me.

one more question that i ask only because i can't find the answer from searching...

does anyone know the specs on the AMD stock fan? I got mine with the XP 1700+ back in December, dunno if they changed stock fans or anything since then, but i was wondering what CFM and speed the thing gets (just for my info really...i'm curious like that )
