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.:cry::shadedshu I guess I will just use my lame V8 cooler.

Why not?
 
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.

time to get out the duct tape! I hear MacGyver comming...
 
haha yeah really!


....AND I tried to mount it on the top vents but the ram clamops wont allow me to mount a fan.:( Will the H50 work as a passive?

i ran mine passive, but depends on the clocks and voltage. maybe undervolt/underclock.
 
Time to get out the tin snips. Cooling performance > looks. :D
 
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.
 
Been there, done that :rolleyes: I meant that I was the first poster on page 200 for this thread.

EDIT: Oh, forgot I have it set to 50 posts per page :laugh: OK, so first on page 399 at default setting :ohwell:

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

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

Though, some reassembly may be required afterwords. :laugh:

Not the prettiest, but that'll work.
 
post 10,000 will edit with real post

EDIT:
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 :(
That's OK, thanks for trying :)

Thanks to you, I just sat here pressing F5 for 10 minutes lol

Not fair man. You got power beyond everyone else here and ensured that 10,000th post would be yours. This should be an infraction.:shadedshu:mad:

Please don't strike me down, I believe in you:D

Pfff, you're treating it as though I planned this in advance. I didn't even realize how close it was until 10 minutes prior and there were 3 posts left :laugh:

Infraction? You've got the wrong guy, I was crucified and died for people's sins. You're looking for TheMailMan, he's the banstick dummy. :roll:
 
Zalman CNPS10X PERFORMA

New Zalman CNPS10X PERFORMA CPU cooler to replace the Xigmatek. Now I no longer see 100 degrees C on a 4GHz overclock. Tops out at 80 which cannot be bad for this furnace of a room.

Lookin' good :toast:
 
Looks good so far, any reason you don't have exhaust fans on top? Looks like they should fit in there fine...

Maybe they have no impact? When I had my CM690, the top fans made a 1-2c difference at most ;)

how in the hell did how in the hell did you typo that. :laugh::laugh:
