I believe the VF1000s w/ the ram and vrm heatsink addon kit is the only zalman cooler compatible w/ the g80 series BTW. also it's pretty big and probably still would have the same problem w/ space... lol

again thanks for info.

What might prove to be a decent idea....just my thought:

Maybe you could take some pictures of your computer, the way it sits, so we can see EVERYTHING, fans...anything you can get a pic of. I personally don't know your case AT ALL....so I'm just taking guesses. I know that Dell puts inferior cooling in their computers....hence why killing the shroud (the plastic thing) was a VERY bad idea. But its simple to fix with some zip ties and a fan.

And there's nothing at all wrong with running your fans at 100%

.

I hope you get it working well...looks like it could be a fun project. Definitely nothing super fast, but it should be a good starter computer for you to get your feet wet...with modding and building your own rig. That way next time, you can just buy the parts and build your own

So yeah

I am here now, asking you guys questions. and getting some good info.

Hmm, cheaper than the 8800GT?

Seriously though, why even bother with 8800-class cards? To re-emphasize, you do realize the limitations of your CPU, correct?

Maybe try to return it to EVGA, and exchange it out for something much more appropriate?

Last time I checked.....the 8800GT is a G92

. I'm unsure about the cooling for a GPU, I usually stick to stock...but I'm sure I could find out real quick (thanks OCN).

For $99 after mail-in rebate, think I would have gone this route:

I wouldnt have gone that route if it was $20

He took his friends advice on the card so its not entirely his fault. I have 2 gts because they fit lol!
