During Furmark CCC shows the fan at 45% with temp sitting around 78-79c (same as before). It's not too loud either. I can hear it across a quiet room but with the TV on, even at low volume, I can't hear the computer. Video cooling problem solved! \

Done. Ok maybe not done because I want to re-do it in plastic but yeh... It'll work. I had an old dead 3870 and the bracket fit.

Here's the ITX running Crysis on very high setting 1024x768 no AA. I'm not using a mouse pad or even trying to play so no whining! haha. Taken with my digital camera so sorry about the quality. The clicking you hear is the harddrive resting on the same box the camera is on. Gives you an idea how quiet the thing is. My own computer is in the same room making more noise then this ITX is.

the power supply still looks a bit dangerus to me but i suppose if your carefull and not touch it or drop any screws on you should be fine.
nice cooling mod with the 4850. it looks a bit ghetto but it should help get all that hot air out the case.

Thanks.
![]() I modified ATI's plastic heatsink cover to remove the louvers directing the airflow upwards. This helps keep the air moving towards the rear. I'm also making changes to my cardboard shrowd so it lines up better with the rear vent openings in the backplate. Furmark has been running for almost an hour now with the fan set to 45%. The new changes have dropped the temp another 4c from 79c to 75c. Every little bit helps.

Alot of unwanted noise.
Here's the new shrowd. It vents through the entire rear opening.

I noticed with my Enzo cooler on my CPU when I use a 50cfm fan (almost silent) and a 200cfm fan (sounds like a jet engine) the temps are is only 1 or 2C diff.
I wish there was a way to check CFMs on GPU cooler fans.

On my friend's Ultra120 we tried a 108cfm fan and it only made 1c improvement.

when I had my old 8800GTSs I cut out the slots in the exhaust it improved the temps a few C and cut down on noise

Fresh pics. This case is well built in my opinion. Not too much flex. They seem to have used a heavier gauge sheetmetal for it's construction. That's a plus. Shown below the picture of the case and contents (first pic), is the PCIe riser card and sata cable for my sata laptop dvdr. Neither the riser or cable was included with the case but were only about ~$5ea. Everything fits but the 300w PSU.
I have another option and that's gutting a 12v brick and sticking it in the case for gfx power and pray the 80w psu can run an E6750. (doubt it). The supplied 2nd hdd bracket (below the video card) puts the hdd too close to the videocard's fan intake. Removing the bracket and mounting the hdd right to the bottom of the case will open it up another 1/4" or so. If you noticed I had to snip part of the gfx's mounting bracket to clear the wifi antenna. No biggie. I also had to saw off part of the gfx's pcb where it was contacting the case. I will have the room I need to fit a thin or full size 80mm fan in the front. With that fan close to the gfx card's intake, and the gfx venting out the back, I know I won't have any issues with the gfx card overheating.

It powers up but it turns out the case-supplied 80w doesn't have the power. It shuts off after about 10 seconds. The 80w psu only has a 20pin ATX connector. I've ran 24-pin boards off of just 20-pin in the past but who knows. I'll whip up a connector to use a 4-pin Molex to make up for the missing 12, 5, and 3.3v for the mobo's ATX connector but the 3.3 I'll have to tap from somewhere else.

Yeh it looks like I might. I can't get this to stop shutting down. I made the molex to missing 4 atx-24 connector but I didn't get the 3.3v connected yet. I thought I'd try it without it first.
EDIT - Nope. Even with the 3.3v it's still shutting down. I didn't think the 80w would power it up and I hadn't planned on using it either but since the 300w doesn't fit I thought I'd try it. I might just make my own psu for it. That way I know I have enough power and know it'll fit.
