Nice work!

Also if you are using two 8800gtx, you will only have one free PCI slot (The centre one)

I don't think the noctua will work with dual sli. the thermaltake and the thermalright can both be mounted off centre. in other words, the chipset is covered but the fan or the heatpipe array (on the two respectively) sits off centre from the middle of the chipset. The noctua array sits centred on the chipset.

As you can see from the pics I added, the cooler sits offset of the centre of the chipset. The noctua will be fine for the northbridge but not the southbridge

I'm thinking of getting an EnzoTech CNB-S1 for the Northbridge and an EnzoTech CNB-S1L for the Southbridge. The L, which stands for Low, can fit underneath a G80 since it is a mere 11.6mm tall. The CNB-S1 and S1L are heatsinks forged from pure copper and they come with a near perfect base. (Within .0003 inches of flat.

Ninja, they are still passive cooling. They can be the best passive cooling in the world but they will be trapped in a pocket under the G80's and run very hot. As I mentioned in this thread, the two coolers that will work with any of the 8800 cards in SLI or singly are the Thermaltake and the Thermalright.

Okay, then. I'm thinking of doing this with the Noctua NC-U6. Since it can be rotated 120 degrees I'm thinking of rotating it slightly so that it does not interfere with the dual slot cooler of the nVidia G80. Instead, the front fins are out of the way while the rear fins are in the place that the cooler would be if it extended all the way until the end of the board (like on the eVGA ASC3 KO Version).

I will lift up that lever, which normally would keep a Graphics Card in place, so it takes up less space. Then, I will mount the Noctua at an angle - a greater angle than shown in the picture, my MS Paint skills are terrible - so that the G80's cooler can fit. Also, the Third PCI-Express Slot is placed far enough away from the First PCI-Express Slot so that I could mount the Noctua parallel to it.

good robilar, didnt notice 903 was out, will i get any noticable improvements? :S + with respect to NB n SB cooling I have the lil swiftech waterblock on there , my 8800gts fit in the too , very snugg though
(pic has a 6600gt in as Im RMA'in my 8800gts tomo so thats why theres a waterblock hovering around :P)

So far so good with the 0903. One thing I noticed when I run 10x380, I only need 1.43 vcore to keep it stable (I needed 1.5 before)

First the lever doesn;t go up or down it clips outward to lock a card. Second your Noctua should fit otherwise but you may run into clearance issues with sound cards in that slot (I did). Its a trial and error process. With the thermalrights, I ended up having to shear off a piece of one of the mounting bolts as it was ramming into my video card.

Nice guide [Robilar]We can recommend the jing thing as long you can clear the gpu and the battery?Thats the one im using rigth now and clear the sound card too.

**Robilar** · 03-14-07

Nice. Do you have a link? I'd like to see what it looks like.

Alex, I'd recommend the 0903 bios btw. It seems to use slightly less vcore to hit the same overclocks. (Less heat)

I been trying to load my pics but no luck.Working on it.The good thing about is that you can offset this cooler.
