    An update. My GeminII cooler has been keeping my quad core CPU at a little over 100 F. I guess thats not to bad.

    First SLI system. Connecting my LCD.

    I'm setting up my first SLI system. I'm using a 30" HP 3065 LCD and two 8800GTX cards. I've got one card in my Striker Extreme now and I have both dual link cables plugged into the card. When I add the second card do I leave the dual link cables connected to the current card or do I have to...

    Coolermaster GeminII

    I had to install BIOS 1004 last night to get Vista to recognize that my HDs were connected correctly. I'm running Vista's memory diagnostic tool now, it got to 2% then detected problems. I may have to get new RAM. Update: I removed one stick and all of my problems have so far gone away...

    I think GPU ex was already disabled but Linkboost was the first thing I disabled. After upping the Memory Voltage to 2.175V my system seems to boot better.

    Coolermaster GeminII

    After two emails to Cooler Mater about my problem with no response I called them and got them to send me a plate. It arrived in the mail Saturday. The plate helped a good bit with the MB bending. It still bends a small amount but not to the point of separating the MB heat sink from the MB...

    I got my GeminII last week. You get no reinforcement plate for Intel CPUs. When I tighten the nuts on the back of my Striker Extreme the MB bows pulling the heat sink next to the CPU socket away from the components under it. That isn't normal is it?

    Coolermaster GeminII

    My GeminII came March 8th. I tried mounting it on my Striker Extreme last weekend. I'm still trying to get it attached to my MB. Cooler Master's mounting solution for Intel CPUs SUCKS!! You get four plastic washers and four nuts for the back of the motherboard, no reinforcing plate...

    I'll try to wait until March. I'm still waiting on my HP 30" LCD to ship. If necessary I'll order a big Typhoon.

    Tuniq Tower to big, need and alternate.

    Removing the fans was the first thing I thought of. Having a quad core and two GeForce 8800 cards I'm going to need all of the cooling I can get. Without the fans, the door would probably still touch the heatsink. According to Coolermaster's site the Gemini won't be available till March...

    Tuniq Tower to big, need and alternate.

    I don't know about the other cases but the Tuniq is 6" tall, the Stacker 830 has a door on the side to hold 4 120mm fans. With the door, the MB and stand offs the Tuniq hits the door frame and won't allow it to close. If the motherboard could be pushed back a minimum of the height of the MB...

    Gemini looks good. It's gotta be heavy tho. Don't know if I wanna wait till March sometime.

    Tuniq Tower to big, need and alternate.

    I'm building a new quad core system using a ASUS Striker Extreme MB and a Stacker 830 case. Several people recommended the Tuniq tower. Now I have it and it's about 1/4"-1/2" to tall for the case. I've been looking at the Thermaltake Big Typhoon. I'm not sure if it fits the Striker Extreme...
