286 POST48 viewsThis was the most fun board out of the whole group. It had a really neat BIOS with some diagnostic options. The video tests were particularly amusing. OMG, 640x200 rectangle rendering test! :P

7800 Heatsink40 viewsThe 7800's heatsink with the black eVGA plate removed. The heatsink's fan was loud during gaming and it didn't cool the greatest. At least it didn't require two slots.

Dual fans40 viewsI put a second Noctua on the CPU heatsink to aid in overclocking. I used four zip ties to hold the back fan onto the front, it seems to be working quite well so far. I also put two CD spindle plastic washers between the heatsink block and the bracket to clamp down harder on the CPU.Feb 15, 2009

Wiring it up29 viewsLots of wires and crap to hook up. The 8-pin EPS power cable wasn't long enough to go on the right side of the motherboard, so I had to route it around the back of the expansion slots and tie it off to the chipset/MOSFET heatpipe.Feb 15, 2009
