Has anyone had any 6850/6870 fit in their SG03? If so, which model? Quiet cool and short lol that's the criteria :)

Damn I meant 6850/6870 definitely not 6950 lol. I know what you mean Skott, that's why I'm trying to find a relatively quiet and cool card.

Sorry guys, thread from the dead! I ended up purchasing a 64gb Vertex 2 ssd for my system ages ago and it was one of the best upgrades ever, definitely a fan. I've only just decided to spend a little more on my system now which is exactly the same as my initial post plus the ssd. My 4850...

Top build tvih, thanks for the read :) Really like the slim blu ray and panel, looks awesome :) My DVD player never worked ever since I built my pc 2 years ago, always used an external... This makes me want to do something about it!

I think I'll go with the ram for now and just start tuning the graphics down a bit. I don't want any issues so I think I'll stay with the same brand just different capacity. I wasn't initially thinking about it, but do you guys reckon that a cooler upgrade could be worth it? My PSU fan seems to...

It's holding up for a 2 year old build, I'm just noticing that I do run out of ram in some instances. I haven't looked at SSD's since they came out cause they were always super expensive... Might check it out. Cheers. My main issue is that I want to upgrade the ram, but maybe a mobo/cpu...

Hey guys, It has been a few years since I built my rig and I was thinking about upgrading my ram (to 6gb) not long ago as I think that's the bottleneck right now, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought might be a better direction to take... mainly gaming rig, and I don't want to spend...

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, couldn't find anything. It's been bugging me for awhile, but I was just wondering if anyone has had much success with routing their cables in the SG03. I've got a modular psu and it's still such a mess; hate to see what would've happened if I had've...

Yeah, maybe another option for the SG03. Curious to see if it is an improvement over the NT06-e though, and whether it fits on a DFI LP JR T2RS without interfering with the NB cooler. It's $99 here down under, and only one distributor. Don't think i'll be forking out almost double the NT06-e for...

I'd like to see pics when you get it all setup and hear how your experience with the fans has been. Looking at getting 2x Noctua P12-1300 to replace the included SG03 fan, but i'm not sure if it's a wise step up from the 800rpm version.

So here's a screen of my setup under load: Just a small OC, but it's stable after prime at 6hrs. Max load was 63C. I'm just a little confused with the DRAM timings and how they should be setup. I did buy ddr2 1066, but i'm unsure how to reach those speeds, or what the FSB:DRAM ratio is...

Well that was great insight enough anyway Calroth, thanks for the heads up with speedstep :) so 333FSB is better for the northbridge, but higher multipliers aren't that great for the cpu/ram? What's the deal with the ram operating at 800mhz again?

Hey guys, So I built the system :) I will post pics later as I'm having issues with my net at home. One thing I'm concerned about however is with the board (?). I'm quite new with all these new bios functions, but In the bios my cpu clock registers as 333mhz and a x9 multiplier, however...

Sweet as thanks Scott. I was talking with a retailer today and he reckons that even if I get a single slot 4850, that the heatsink is still large (or something of that nature) that it will still block a pci slot on my motherboard. I told him that I didn't think that was right but just wanted...

Any recommendations as to what case fans to use? I know this has been discussed before but was having trouble finding it. Looking for a balance between silence/airflow :)

How did both your temps go with the quad? Prices here are very similar between the E8400 and Q6600. I'm tossing up the heat factors now as to which I go for. Yeah, there's quite a few price search sites in Aus. I've used shopbot yeah :) thx hehe

I just mass emailed a stack of online retailers in Australia. I thought I might copy it into here just in case anyone is in the same kind of situation as me, and might be able to use this as a guide or something. Before you comment on how lazy I may be doing this, I have spent a crapload of...

Hey guys, So here is my prospective build. I'm from Australia so I had a few difficulties looking for some parts (eg the enzotech ultimate cpu cooler isn't available here, so I think I may have to settle for a NT06e and stay dual core) and I've included the prices so you can compare (I think...

Damn dude, that really sucks. I'm going to be using SG03, DFI JR + NT06 soon. I have also always been put off by the passive cooling, but is there any particular negatives regarding the cooler and board? Or just the entire build in general? I'm thinking the latter :)

Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it... but does anyone know if the GeminII cooler will fit on this board? I'm still trying to find some coolers that will fit with this board and the SG03; turns out that it doesn't sound like a good combo for finding a hsf :( I'm tempted to...

Well, hell, this thread took forever to read... I'm thinking of a new build and wondering what the options were for an after market hsf for this board. I saw low's post regarding some of the hsf's that I was after, the 8700 and I think the NT06 lite, and they both won't fit due to NB...

Question is now, how did your temps improve? :)

So the question is now, what HSF is optimal in the SG03? I think I've narrowed it down to the Zalman 8700nt, NT06-Lite or Evolution and... the GeminII? Any comments?

Get the Silverstone SG03 or the Qmicra. I used to like the lanbox but once I saw and appreciated the innovation in the SG03, second to none mate.

http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1031344921&postcount=39 This guy has a controller that fits nice and flush in the front bay. Check it out :)

That watercooling setup looks sweet dude. Did you need to mod the case much to get the radiator to sit snug?

The Zalman CNPS8700NT, to my knowledge, is a recently released cpu hsf. I wonder how it would go in the SG03 as it meets the 78mm height requirement hehe.

Lot's of great reviews for that mobo, I'm going to get it once I rack up enough funds to build my system. I've read -so- many reviews on cases, and I've decided on the SG03. It was that or the lanbox lite, and the aerocool seems to have that kind of look to it, so yeah. Aerocool is a kind of a...

Is this compatible with other modular psu’s? Has anyone tried?

Mini frankenthread :D Has anyone considered watercooling a Q6600 in the SG03? What implications would you run into if you used the Swiftech h20-120? Not upto par with watercooling, but that kit is a small one, so it might fit in there? Perhaps?

Do you think it could be possible to watercool the sg03 with the swiftech h20-120?

Would the Swiftech H20-120 fit inside the SG03?

Any suggestions then for a cpu hsf? I was thinking of going for the nt06 lite, but as you say, I feel that a heat sink with a fan would be much more effective due to the lack of rear exhaust.

Nah, size isn't a real issue at all. I just want to weigh up their pro's and con's next to each other so that I get a good comparison. I really like the look of both cases so I don't know which one to go for. I need someone with experience with either or both cases to say "Go for the [case]...

So totally torn by which case to go for. My heard was initially set on the lanbox, but once I realised the ingenious layout of the SG03, it turned out that my... well, infatuation... with the lanbox design slowly subsided. I know that they are both good cases (I love the looks of the...
