Arctic VGA cooler in Shuttle?

[MAS]

I finally made a decision and went for a Rad 9800 pro while I wait for Socket 939/PCI-E to settle down. I wouldnt mind fitting an Arctic VGA cooler rev 3 to it, as my Shuttle is pretty warm.

Will this fit in a Shuttle? I know someone makes a card with it pre-fitted and I think someone said it would squeeze in.

I've got an SN41G2, and my PCI slot is being used (I dont think that matters?).

Cheers.

Ok, it looks like it might not fit if I'm using the PCI slot

[Flash]

isnt the AGP on the outer side on this shuttle like my SN45G if so its a no no

[Apex]

It won't fit iirc due to the agp slot being near the case side

[MAS]

Nevermind. Thanks anyway

The mesh case accessory helps reduce the heat, but it will make the machine about 3dB noisier. The choise is yours

[Apex]

3db is not much tbh

[Flash]

where do you get mesh case covers from and are they easy to DIY?

I'm using the Vantec Iceberq 4 cooler on my 9700 pro in my shuttle and it seems to be doin the trick pretty nicely ........running at 9800pro speeds

Its one way to do it, though am not impressed with the results....it could be a good thing though has the cooler is pulling colder air threw and not warm air from inside the case
