    blue orb - how to fit?

    hey guys, some of you i believe are using the thermaltake blue orb on the g400max, but i'm facing some problems. if i fit the fan on the g400max, i can't get it to sit into the agp slot fully... there are some pesky capacitors sitting RIGHT where the fan should fit... any suggestions? i'm using an abit kt7a...

      greebe! not you!

      thought someone else would be more appropriate to suggest that pull-out-the-capacitors trick....

      anyway, i've slopped on arctic silver 2 for the heatsink paste, still using the default aavid fan that came default...

        I think the general opinion of orbs is that they generally suck =P

                        Hello sehsuan

                        Got my 73LZX for about 3500 NOK (400$)

                        AHA 29160 is a very good card, wath's the difference between 29160 & 19160??

                        My Seagate disk is prety fast... something else than 7200rpm IDE......

                          you're a dirty friggin' bastard... lol... for now that is. not until i get my hands on that 29160. the difference between the 19160 and 29160 is in that the 29160 uses a 64 bit pci interface and has more connectors onboard. other than that there's nothing much else different.

                          but one thing to take note is that though the 29160 is a server card, it only takes up to 15 more devices, which limits it to the same things as the 19160. it's single channel, in other words. if you REALLY wanted to run a full blown server card, you gotta go for the 39160. that mofo of a card has dual U160 channels on a 64bit pci interface!!!

                            Yes, I belive we use the 39160 in a server at work, we also use SCSI RAID5, but my 29160 has no 64-bit PCI slot, I have a standard 32-bit version! I can se on the updated pricelist form our importer that you can get the card in both 64 & 32-bit versions!

                            Before i got the 29160 i had a AHA-2940U2W, a very good card! It's in my office workstation now

                              the damned bastard who was supposed to sell me the 29160 sold it off for the same price to another person for the same price i offered him. bloody hell....

                              anyway, instead i bought two autoart car models - one of the mitsubishi lancer evo vi (blue) and the other of the nissan skyline gt-r r34 for 120 singapore dollars... =)
