Well mounting the 120mm fan didn't work on the side of the 900 side panel.

It fouls on the top of the Scythe cooler, so I can't close the panel. lol

Oh well, shame I can't mount a 92mm one as it'd miss.

bugger it. :D

Forget the side mounted fan on the A900...wasting your time; it messes the airflow up and you will only make the temps rise.

Seeing as I'm a person of pictures today, hes another one.


My rig...see how I mounted the fans to the Xiggy? I did the same to my HTPC's Scythe Ninja rev.B and it works great. :)


@Pig, PM me with more details. :toast:

Thats looking as sexy as the insides of my system :cool: I got a all black PSU, mobo, soundcard, and graphics card when its back from RMA. All built around a nice copper cooling vibe with the only thing mismatching a bit are the heatspreaders on my aXeRAM. Oh and moon, I'll have to hazard a guess I have enough funds for one of your 4830s, but if you gimme your bank details and I do have the spare funds I'll do a transfer there an then an give you a PM to let you know when/if I do. If you could check what memory both your cards use that would be cool :D

Voodoo! :pimp:

Same way I do with all of the heatsinks I have, cut the end of 4 tie wraps and thread two cutoff parts (the bits with the ridges) into the fan mounts and threw the heatsink...then put the end back on the tie wrap for a tidy job. :)

If you blow the picture up you can see it...I was idle on this one and only cut two tie wrap ends off and left the other ones intact....best to use black tie wraps as they look the best.


I have newer pictures of my PC with the 4870 in it..I will post them soon. :toast:

Seems like a bit of a waste, unless you have a card reader I suppose.

Best way is to take the HS off, and write the numbers down from one of the memory ICs on each card, I can tell whats what by those numbers :D

I only have two headers, the third is used by the Express Gate SSD.

Thankfully my new case has 4 usb ports. Life saver! :D

With my Lian Li having a custom top it has 'lost' its top mounted USB ports, but its not an issue as I have a 6ft USB extension cable I can plug anything into so I don't have to go round the back of the PC.....even if I do need to go round the back its on the top of my desk so its pretty easy. :)

Do both :p if your good you can salvage enough to re-use. May sound cheap, but it works and if the paste is relatively new then theres no detrimental effects. Pay a visit to shiny hardware, they sell MASSIVE tubes of arctic silver ceramique. I currently have something like 50g of the stuff I got for about £6 :D
