SN21G5: Will this work? (worried about heat issues)

Roddo · 8 Nov 2006 at 08:42

Hi all,

I’m looking at building a new shuttle box, and after having continous heat issues with an older G5 box (running Athlon XP, 6600GT), I’m adamant whether the following setup will have the same issues:

- SN21G5 chassis
- Athlon 64 3000+
- Leadtek GeForce 7600 GT TDH

I’m trying to build a box as cheap as possible, primarily for running WoW for the misses.

Any thoughts from SN21G5 would be much appreciated!

Yes. I've got a 4600 x2 and a 1950pro in mine, hardly heats up at all.

i'm running a G4 chassis (the same as G5 but with different front panel) with 3 hdd's (3rd one modded to fit ontop of the ICE), 9800XT and 3400+ in it.

it runs folding@home all day every day fine

can't say i've ever had a temp issue in any of my shuttle actually??

I'd think this one your proposing to build will be fine

If you decide later that you'd like extra breathing space for your video card, and don't fancy modding the case yourself. Keep a look out for Shuttle's PF16 accessory.

Think its been discontinued in Europe though. But at least you'll be able to transfer it to any replacement G chassis Shuttles.

I got one while they were still avaliable. Not only does it look pimp, it allows for slightly better airflow and makes the cathodes I've got installed look much better.
