My ghetto mod contribution. I took an old custom external hard drive enclosure case, some CPU heatsinks I had around the place and put together a mod for my XBOX. Wanted something to keep it quiet and cool. Aesthetically pleasing wasn't my primary goal just trying to be practical, so keep that...
I used a blank PCI slot cover for the retention strap on the heatsink. Cut the ends off and then drilled a couple of holes. Obviously you don't get that kind of bowed spring steel pressure going down with the soft aluminum...but if you make the holes slighter closer together then they would...

I'm considering a second nvidia card to dedicated to physx.
What I'm wondering is:
Is 32 fast stream processors better than 96 slower ones for physx?
Is it even worth doing a dedicated card for physx?
I'm guessing the amount of stream processors can vary based on the game, just...
I would go with the single card. One thing that is not widely talked about, is that SLI means you can't go dual head. Personally I run two monitors and having to go to the control panel to change between dual view and SLI is a pain. There use to be some batch files that made the switch faster...
Keep in mind that you can't run two monitors at once with SLI. You can enable/disable sli in the nvidia control panel, but it's annoying to keep switching. I finally upgraded to a faster card because I like to watch a movie or TV on one screen while gaming...not possible while using sli...
I think you can make it work with sli if you have one mounted with the fins on the back side of the card, and the other card with it mounted on the front side. The heatsink can be mounted either way. However...it will fill your case/block lots of slots, etc. But then they also work really well...
I'm guessing you have it set to the monitors native resolution, and have the color set to 32bit?
Also did you install drivers after installing?
Did you use a driver cleaner between card installs?
If you're like me you've been waiting for a good aftermarket gtx 280 cooler. Them things get hot. Looks like we are getting closer to having Thermalright's HR-03 GTX cooler as an option. They now have a preview page up...
