Yeah, I'd try to make an angled duct from the side to the top of the Gigabyte.
It could be an 80mm square ( to fit around the fan on the sidepanel) that ends just at the sink.
Have to leave a bit of space I suppose so you can slide the panel into place.

Yeah i think havin an angled one to the side might work better then the top, just because to make an exaust at the top witha duct, i would have to make the duct turn a complete 180 degree angle...
hey does anyone know if you heat up the plastic on a cd jewel case does it bend or just melt? maybe if placed in boiling water, i could get it to bend, then i could just round it out a bit and go to the side 80mm ...

a lighter will make it smell really really bad and it will just melt. boiling water does work though, not just hot has to be boiling.

alright, i&#39;ll do some planning and maybe start it tomorow
if the fan comes out of the gigabyte cooler that is, if it doesnt i&#39;ll try it with the fan in, and i&#39;ll try it with my old stock AMD heatsink and with no duct at all, and see which one gives best temps...
I&#39;m packin it in for the night, ttyl folks

K,
It might be enough to simply use a Thermaltake duct on the sidepanel with the fan mounted on the inside to bring fresh, outside air close to the end of the HS.
Worth a try if you happen to have one lying around ( like me...).

Anyone here have any direct, first-hand experience with this heatsinK?

Looking at it today I was intrigued by the design and the universiality of the mounting system appeals.

I&#39;ve read several web reviews and the results are all over the map- some like it, some don&#39;t.

I know from my experience with the Zalman 7000cu that reviews and real, at-home results are sometimes very different.
So...anybody?

i hate the zalman 7000cu..
They&#39;re website said my dad&#39;s Gigabyte 7ZXE motherboard supported the card because it had the 4 cpu holes, but the damn board didnt&#33; What a bunch of sheeeeeeiat.

that would mean you hate zalman not just that one model lol. anyway, if the board had the four holes then it would be a very good heatsync.
