Sugo Evolution + X1800XT/X1900XT

Does anyone have this combo? With the standard cooler, does it fit?

Cheers.

Yup fits fine, got a his x1900xt in mine. Coolers slightly different to a bog standard x1900 but there pretty much the same size

masterk · 20 Aug 2006 at 20:00

That is very tidy!

How do you manage the cables? Surely the PSU cables must be a foot too long in some places?

Cheers for the info.

P.S What heatsink are you using?

Kezmo · 20 Aug 2006 at 20:13

Its a modular psu and any excess cable is shoved under the optical drive

Zalman CNPS8000 Ultra Quiet Low Profile CPU Cooler (HS-022-ZA)

Are there any issues with that cooler when the side is on? Did you have to mod the case?

Zero issues, the sugo will take any psu

Doh!

Only issue is that the heat pipes block the front 2 memory slots, there's a pic in the gallery on page 7 at the top of this forum

masterk · 21 Aug 2006 at 17:06

Thanks for the info.

I take it the system doesnt care that those two slots are used for the memory?

Did you use a reduced length CD drive?

Cheers

Kezmo · 21 Aug 2006 at 17:19

System runs fine with the memory in those slots, ive done lots of 3dmark runs & played BF2 pretty solidly (huge memory hog) and had zero issues.

I beleave the plextor drive is a pretty standard length, got it because its a slot loader, the enermax psu is short tho

masterk · 23 Aug 2006 at 19:08

Excellent, probably more questions to come! Im close to ordering one!

Cheers for the info.

I'm close to crying.

I don't want a silver one! All my drives are black, I really don't want to have to buy bezels for them, and also, silver is the devil's colour!

Is your FX-62 at stock or overclocked? If OC'd, how much by?

Kezmo · 23 Aug 2006 at 23:19

Stock at the min

I'd be interested to know if the smaller case makes overclocking more difficult.

it usually lies with the motherboards most matx boards
dont have memory voltage or cpu voltage

and the sugo has great temps on par with my Akasa Eclipse 62
better cooling on hard discs too.
