I need to get a new fan/heatsink on my 8600gt graphics card because my current one isnt keeping it cool enough. However I have a slight problem. My computer is a BTX form factor motherboard/case. So I need a VGA cooler replacement for my video card that is BTX compatible..
For anyone who doesn't know, BTX form factor is just a reversed motherboard basically of the normal ATX form factors. Which means in the end (which is my problem here) the video card fan/heatsink placed in the motherboard will be facing upwards instead of down like a normal ATX PC.
Basically I'm just wondering if anyone else like me with a BTX form factor PC has had to buy a new VGA cooler and if they or anyone else knows of a BTX compatible VGA cooler for me to replace my current crappy fan/heatsink on my 8600gt video card.
Thanks in advanced. Any help is appreciated|||dont get a new fan? just download riva tuner and set the fan speed to 70% or something, it will be louder but still it saves money.

Video Card Interface compatible to MOBO?
the video card says pci express 2.1x16 and this is the slots for the mobo:
PCI Express 2.0 x16 1
PCI Express x16 1, running at x4 speed
PCI Express x1 3 PCI Express gen2 x1 slots
PCI Slots 2 PCI slots, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface
What does this mean?
Also, does evberything look ready to go? As a first time pc builder what would be your steps to assyembiling this? That and which way should the termal paste be applied? Horizontal vertical, or just a blob? It's a quad processor and I was told it was suppose to be either horizontal or vertical.
Thanks.

Subtotal:|||I'm with the above poster on the PSU, this is not a place to save on the budget. 750w is my recommended minimum also right now.
Thermal paste... Well, a new STOCK CPU cooler comes with thermal interface material already on it. If you plan on installing an aftermatket cooler and overclocking, then you will need the paste. Otherwise, just use the stuff that comes stock on the cooler, it's not too bad.
DO NOT APPLY THEM BOTH!
If you don't want to use the stuff that came on the stock cooler, clean it off before using the Artic Silver.
Too many people use way too much thermal interface compound when they apply it. The size of the actual core of the CPU is about the size of the fingernail on your index finder, right under the center of the CPU. It is NOT the entire "silver" top of the CPU. Only apply a small amount (about the size of a small pea in the center of the chip. I don't spread it, I just let it squeeze outward from there as I lock down the cooler. The thermal paste will heat up and takes a good day to actually cure (you can use the PC right away though) but the thermal interface should improve over a day or two.
I ALWAYS install the CPU and cooler outside the case. I place it on the motherboard box and install it right there. sometimes the cooler locking mechanisms require a bit of force. I don't like putting that pressure on the motherboard against the case stand-offs.
(is Intel still using those stupid push locks?)|||I'd get the Corsair 750w PSU long before gambling on a not-so-well-established brand such as kingwin. Especially for the same price.
The motherboard comes with one PCIe 16x slot for video.
It has one PCIe 16x looking slot that only works at 4x.
It also has 3x PCIe 1x slots.
Looks alrigh tto me.|||You are all ready to build. The psu brand is a little shakey. Corsair is a better choice and that should take care of all your power needs. The 700w Corsair model will be more than enough with room for overclocking/upgrade. Nevermind....Corsair only sells a 650 and a 750, no 700. The 650w should be good and it will allow for a slight overclock as well. ATI recommends 500w as a minimum with the 5850 so 650w should have it covered.
As for the thermal paste, don't worry about the vertical horizontal thing, put a small pea-sized blob in the middle and use something like a business card or other stiff card-object to spread it around evenly over the whole chip. There are many ways of applying thermal paste but thinner is usually better because the layer is only to fill the small gaps that form between the CPU and the heatsink. Spreading it helps thin out the layer of paste and so its a good idea.

What is the best video card for an Emachines ET1331G-03W with dvi out?
I am looking for a replacement video card for my Emachines ET1331G-03w desktop it needs to either have a dvi out or hdmi out. I am trying to use my tv as a monitor but the tv does not have a vga input. I don't want to drop a lot of cash into this but i want it to look nice i only am going to use the desktop for the internet and watching videos that's about all im not into gaming or anything like that. I checked out a few from walmart that look like they might work but im not sure cause i don't know much about the internal computer stuff.

Any suggestions for an aftermarket video card fan...?
I have a MSI NX8600GT-T2D512E OC video card ( http://us.msi.com/product/p_spec.asp?mod… ) that has had the stock fan die on it. Has anyone replaced a fan on this model card and if so, what fan kit did you use? Did you need to modify the card at all (i.e. drill new holes or file the existing ones down)?
I've also seen where some forums recommended using a case fan and just using a zip tie to hold the fan over the existing fan. Does this work as a long term solution or will I just be slowly killing my video card? I currently have a case fan sitting loose in the tower blowing on the card and the temps dropped from about 120-130C to about 70C (which as far as I can tell is close to the normal temp for my card under load).
Oh, just wanted to point out, that I'm not doing any overclocking but the card is overclocked from the manufacturer. I am not looking to overclock so really looking for an inexpensive fix, otherwise I'd just upgrade to a higher end card as a replacement.
Thanks,
Jim|||I have used the Zalman VF700 with the 8600GT and it cools a lot better than the tiny stock fansink. It should have no trouble keeping your 8600GT at around 60C or so under load.|||The 8600 was the "low-end" card of the 8 series. If you can find an 8800GTX or XXX for a decent price I'd recommend buying that. Next...check your computer. How dusty is it? Dust is an insulator - a thick layer of dust will make the card soak-up more heat before it starts to radiate off the card.
As for the overclocking issue...I'm sorry, but heat hot enough to cause near 2nd degree burns? There is more at issue than just overclocking, because unless they tripled the assorted clock speeds on the card, there is no (good) reason it should be over 80 or so Deg. C!
Incidentally...you need about a good handspan of distance behind your computer to any obstructions to maximise heat venting so that the warm air isn't being sucked back into the computer...and if your GPU is running that high...your CPU will probably be running hot too...
Good Luck!
