ok guys i have a BFG 5900u i picked up and will be here this week.
as always the stock cooling will be bye-bye right after intial testing and maxing.
i have 4 xtra cpu hs/fan combos i can use on the gpu.
1. stock amd socketA hs
2.aluminum with a copper slugged middle.
3. aluminum w/copper plate
4. swiftech mcx 462+
now i know the swifty would rock on that core,but the weight is a concern.it easily weighs 2-3 times what the others do and that without a fan!
also the heatsink will be drilled or fit somehow but wont be as3 epoxied as i dont trust that kinda weight.plus i may need to put the stock cooling back for some reason.
i originally wanted one of those slim rackmount cpu h/s's but was low on cash.
i dont use many pci slots anyhow.but bracing and supporting the card WILL be my issues.
ideas? thoughts?
