What do you guys think of this 5830? It's got the nice dual-fan cooler and the price seems pretty good.

GIGABYTE GV-R583UD-1GD Radeon HD 5830 1GB 256-bit ...

here is W1zzard's Review on MSI's 5830

From what I've seen.. their not worth it if you can hold off to get a 5850..

It seems that although it's a good bit better than my old 4870, a 5850 would give you a lot more bang for the buck. I guess I'll keep looking for a 5850 then.

So I'm not going to be able to get performance info or even a SS of the quad-quad core Xeon system, apparently Intel wanted it back last November, so he hasn't had it since December

Just got the a another board from sNiPeRbOb today and went to install it to get the Quad-Cruncher back online only to discover that the H50 doesn't fit in Thermaltake's V3 case. I guess I will just use my lame V8 cooler.

Because the the case provides no space between the top of the 120mm fan mounts. When I tried to mount it on the back the rad hits the top and wont line up with the fan holes.

Well I was thinking of mounting it on the top (2nd pic) and then just mount a fan/shroud on the top outside of the case.

Don't worry. The 10,000 post mark is coming up. You can still make it.

He just needs a bigger hammer. Remember if it doesn't fit, you just havn't hit it hard enough.

Though, some reassembly may be required afterwords.

Mount it on the back of the case on the outside sideways with the tubes towards the side panel. Or mount on the top of the case like second pic with fan on the outside.

what you could do T77 is put a fun on both sides of the rad as a push/pull then mount it to the case by a fan instead of straight to the case
