his iceq3 x1900xt + SN25P

AceCard · 2 May 2006 at 20:57

ok guys i need to find out if the his iceq3 version 1900xt wil fit in the sn25p shuttle.

i dont mind removing the air duct as its the side that blows air out the case(and the iceq3 design releases air out the case too, so the gfx may be a good match).

any help guys......please

i may just go for an 1800xt instead knowing that it will fit and its cheap, but i'll have to do some homework.

1900 are hot but the fan end would be where the airduct is, and that part of the card would be a lot cooler as the fan is away from the actual gpu.i'm thinking if the iceq3 releases hot air out the case it will pretty much sub the air duct(it wont block the whole airway too).

more homework needed.

maybe a nooby sounding question but.....drive cage???

tbh i've just spotted the upcoming sapphire toxic x1900xtx watercooled.

is this an independantly water cooled card?? or is it designed to be connected to a water cooled system?

if its a independent water cooled card it would be absolutely ideal for the sn25p.

anyone have any forum links to people who have tried iceq3 x1900 in their sn25p's??

really need to know for sure about fitting(obviously without air duct.

platinumfx mate, i took my air duct out and the temps are EXACTLY the same as they were before.

The duct will change temps 1, 2 degrees C max!!

It really isn't the duct you have to worry about

god i wish i knew for sure, i'm buying in 2 days and i've tried to research for weeks.

i have googled and tried everything.......but no solid info anywhere.

:mad:

Well I own 4x SN25P's and 4 SN26P's and they all run the same.

The duct does little, if anything in my experience

Hope that helps

i already run my shuttle without the airduct(which has had 0 effect on my temps, which are 20-30c idle and 30-40c load @2.8ghz 3700+)

my main concern is the iceq3 x1900xt/xt-x with the drivecage installed = room??

thing is rma'ing is going to be a pain in the arse if it doesnt work out.

may just opt for the 7900gtx.

cant beleive nowone online has tried this card,barebones combination yet?? its astounding.
