How hot would the inside of a lascale LC03 get with sli 7800gt's?? Rest of the system would be a standard clock x2 3800+, samsung spinpoint, PVR card and dedicated soundcard all on a passively cooled asus premium

I'm guessing this is probably gonna be too much all in such a tight space with minimum cooling but I'd love to be able to do it. :D

Guessing i'll be lucky to see idle temps of 40 and 60 load.lol
 
agreed, it would normally be overkill but I'd like to play the odd game which I like running the **** ****.

Baring in mind, HD requires a lot more grunt ie HD recordings wherever possible so dont know if it would be that wasted. Not sure. Will try my single gt card and check temps.

I use a VF700 already on the 7800GT. Ultra quiet and keeps temps down qute nicely. Its knowing what things will be like once I've packed it into the lascale.lol
 
Got everything in the case but its tight as expeceted, especially the pci-e card which has a couple of mm clearance between it and the h/drive.

Noise is quite high due to a hiper typer psu. Apart from that it would be no worse than a plasma fan. temps with case cover on are 35 cpu and 40 from the n/bridge despite only passive cooling. That is idle though

trying to undo my mce IR receiver so I can fix it inside next to my VFD.

Dual core @ 3.8ghz on water? :/ well you are beating Oppainter's FX62 with -30c cooling if your sig isnt a daydream :D

No the cpu is phase cooled and the rest is water cooled :).











btw you guys know my sig is a joke? lol.
