All gear traded to aldamon
I have an eVGA FX 5900SE 128 MB, 256 bit (called an XT by other graphics card makers). Attached is a Zalman ZM80HP heatpipe and 80mm fan. Runs @ 412/730 with more room (YMMV). Been a fantastic card for the short time I have owned it. I will not seperate the Zalman heatpipe and fan from it. Not only does it look great, but it also runs very quiet and very, very well. With the fan removed and just the heatpipe, it is 100% silent. Perfect for an HTPC setup. Plays games very well at 1280x1024, but I wouldnt try to push any higher of a resolution with it for gaming.
