I am looking to purchase this setup but just wanted opinion as to the compatability of it all...for example the CPU heatsink with that board.

Greetings to you all, I have used OC-UK for ages but somehow missed the forums button :o

Looks ok, but why not get the HIS ATI Radeon X1900 XT ICEQ 3 SILENT Heatpipe 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-053-HT) Price: £199.99 (£234.99 Including VAT at 17.5%). Has a great cooler allready. Cheaper than 2x 7900GT, & offers close performance. Will last you untill DX10 games & cards are required.
 
Sci Fi are you planning to overclock your system or just using it at stock settings,if you are planning to overclock i would change the ram for pc6400..
If you are planning just running at stock settings then thatset up looks ok.
 
I would probably be running at stock speeds. The heatsinks are so that I can run them at lower speeds to keep it quiet.

As for the graphics I am a dedicated Nvidia fan as the last two ATI cards I had drove me up the wall from a driver point of view...a very personal thing i know but there you go.

What I am interested in here is if the ASUS board I have listed with all the passive cooling pipes will accept the Zalman flower cooler I have chosen.


Thanks for your input thus far.
