That's really weird, the fan looks like it's designed to spin counter-clockwise and blow air away from the heatsink... Which way does the fan spin on that model? If it spins counter-clockwise you should remount the cooler and have it face towards the back (because it's blowing air away), if it's spinning clockwise then you shouldn't have a problem.

That's weird though.

you should have got at least an 8600GT,whats the best framerates you get?

I know mate my bad, I will be installing 8800 after, I wanted to get 8800 but didn't found in the shops there all were out of stock thought using these might be a good idea but its not. thanks for the advice mate

A 9500GT is pretty much the same specs as an 8600GT, apart from the 9500GT is 65nm.

If it's working okay for you then stick with your two 9500's, though if you do want more then go with an 8800.

nah the 8600GT is much better than a 8500GT,use GPU review and compare them.

the 8500GT has 16 shader processors,where the 8600GT has 32

They have 32 pipelines as well.

No its getting air from out side the case to inside.
When I put my hands on the case side I feel the air flow going to the CPU cooler.

Real slick lighting! Nice cable management, it looks real pretty! That's an aurora case, right?

Fun to see a rig on the thread again...

That's a 3rd party chipset cooler directly above you're graphics card right? Looks like it's a pretty tight fit, very nice. I'd worry about the heatsinks on it dissipating heat onto my graphics card myself... Look cool though.

**Lightning Speed** · 09-21-2008

Nice rig mate!

you're right Freelancer I would worry about it too
