    New Graphics Cooling and CPU Fan replacement

    I'm currently running a pair of 8800GTX's (stock speeds and cooling) in SLi along with a QX6700 cooled by a Thermalright XP-120e (not sure what fan, just some generic Y-Tech 120mm job) in an Antec 900 case. I'd like to replace the cooling on my graphics cards and am looking at the Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 8800 but i'm concerned that there won't be enough space between the PSU and the second card.

    Secondly I'd like to place the fan on my XP-120e. I'm looking to reduce noise levels so I'm looking for a quiet fan.

    Lastly I'm considering replacing my Antec 900. Money isn't a massive issue but I don't really want to spend more than £160. Again quiet but with fairly decent cooling is what i'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

    Have a look on the AC website... the cooler is SLI compatible so should work fine

    Fan for the TRUE require the screw hole be accessible for the fan mounting so something like this should work. That's the same fan I use on my TRUE and its silent

    If you want silence with decent cooling the Antec P182 is an excellent case choice

    Re: New Graphics Cooling and CPU Fan replacement

    I'm erring on the side of Noctuas for the fans. The graphics cooler is definately compatable with my card, it's just that there's not a lot of clearnance between the bottom card and my PSU (i'm using a Asus Striker Extreme motherboard). My concern with the P182 is that it's very similar to the P180 which I used to have (well still have, has my old PC in it) and the Enermax Galaxy 850 doesn't fit in that case as it's very long.

    I was considering the the Lian Li PC-71B. About &#163;50 but a lovely looking case.
