Meh. Exact same load temps, 53c, but 1.325 instead of 1.3625. Unfortuantely, like the other, I think temps are too high for me to bother pushing for more...I'm glad this cpu will run CAS5 @ 1333 as well, but it requires 1.325v on NB for 2600mhz, while the other required only 1.25v.

Kinda weird too, idle temps are lower, almost 5c, than the previous one, but load the same? Maybe I nerf'd the heatsink install; this is my first HDT cooler. I think i'll just do some gaming and make sure it's good and stable before pulling the cooler...kinda a waste of $159, maybe I should have got the 970BE :laugh:

Idunno why I even bought this, except that I was bored.:rolleyes:

Hmmmm what's this I see?




Now the bad:

One of the cards is fubared and articfacts when DX11 is used so got to send it back. When I get it back I'll probably just sell it. Three is overkill for BC2. Probably a few other things and maybe I'll be able to get me a 970 for an upgrade.

Is your RAM too tall to rotate that cooler so the fan isn't resting on the 5870? Is it the top card that is artifacting?
Pretty bitchin' stack of cards, I must say.

I could turn it but 2 things:

1) I get better temps in the current position
2) The Doms can have the fins taken off so they will clear the front fan but my G.Skill Pi won't (they are the older design)

The fan isn't resting on the top card either. There is about an inch or two between them. Doesn't really effect temperatures. About a 2C difference all the times I've tested. The side fan on the 932 probably helps.

As for which card artifacts......I think it is the bottom card in that picture. Can't quite remember. Right now the two cards are where the top and bottom are in that picture to give the top some breathing room.

I actually ended up with three because I got impacient and wanted a 5870 crossfire setup. Ended up buying the third card off ebay for a little less than the second one and the third one is one of those low voltage gpus too so it was win all around.

there looks to be no gap between the HSF's bottom fan and the backside of the top GPU card

I'm surprised that your CPU stays at acceptable temps like that, that's not really a lot of space :eek:

+ one to looks like no gap, not even camera angle could make it look that small from it being an inch apart, are you sure? ha maybe your trippin' balls he he

( it lines up with top of slot and looks to pretty much touch the card to me)

*edit*

I will need a new picture with you hand between the gap to prove the gap exist lol XD

Very nice rig!:rockout:

That fan for the CPU heatink is a bit daunting though, no space to pull in air from the looks of it.

I'll run passive before I'd use a thinner front fan or put it on the top.

So, back by popular demand! :laugh: :p

Ok so the front of the fan is touching the video card then still not an ideal situation you'd still be better off turning the HSF to point at your case exhaust fan

I don't know how you get touching out of that picture. Like I said before there is about an inch or so of clearance between the two. Let me try with the picture taking again.

Sorry about it being a little fuzzy but my camera wasn't taking good pics with flash so I put my flash light in the 5.25 drive bays but then it wouldn't focus correctly.


Either way like I said before I've tested both ways and get better temps in its current orientation. As for the close proximity of the fan and video card I only see about a 2C rise in temperatures though you would think that the fan would be suffocated being that close.

Both are probably a result of the side 230mm on the HAF 932. I've used smoke to trace airflow in the case and that front 120mm fan pulls air directly from the 230mm as soon as it brings it in. In any other case you would probably see a bad effect.

Looks like you view size like my wife. I have her convinced that a few inches is really a foot:laugh: A penny is only 3/4 of an inch total, so you have around 5/16" clearance.

Glad it works for you, though, and you have a good looking rig.

Got the refurb BFG that was $50 at geeks.com.
Very good condition overall but there are a few scratches. Best paint job I've seen on a PSU. The cables are very thick compared to my Antec (harder to bend).
Very quiet and I can hardly feel any heat from it.

And here she is...
