just wondering what manufacturer people are using? i currently have a Q6600, 4 gig of ram. Originally i was just going to use onboard and not worry about games, but now i' worried. I've just downgraded from a 24" to a 22", and am just wondering whats the best manufacturer for cooling? I'm trying to keep it silent and wouldn't mind an overclock.

Thanks
 
Have an Inno3d 8800gt in my sugo01 with an overclocked Q6600 and have'nt noticed any loudness. Don't overclock GFX so can't comment on that.
 
Personally I would try to avoid the 8800GT in a SFF or Shuttle as it doesn't exhaust the heat out the back, so it gets trapped in the case.

For example, with my SG03, my 2900XT would keep the case internals lovely and cool, as does my 3870X2. But my 8800GT, after a good gaming session, would leave the top of the case rancidly hot, too hot to touch. :o

I'd either get the extra for the G92 GTS (preferred option) or downgrade to a 3870XT.
 
wouldn't the right fan setup help on a sg01 tho?

should move some of the upward heat, but i guess it still wouldnt move
most of the heat. maybe a 3rd party cooler that uses dual pci slot would
do the job. dunno if you can get them tho

i did find a review about 3rd party coolers
