[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Somehow I dont think this gallery will be getting a ton of traffic but I suppose eventually we will gather a crowd who is into the more mundane cooling methods

[Spawne32]

yeh but you always need a thread with pictures for people to drool over, its how i get my ideas for new builds

Newly-installed Xigmatek BattleAxe on my Visiontek HD4870. Helped drop temperatures dramatically!

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Yeah man I read that the xigmatek battle axe is the best gpu cooler around, apparently it beats both of thermalrights offerings handily. Looks beastly!

Here's mine taken a few weeks back. Have since added some other stuff. Will update as soon as i find my camera's battery charger.

What case is that? That thing is screaming to be liquid cooled I love the look of it too.
Oh, and I'll post my gpu's since currently they are the only air cooled things.

I might have some results @ HWbot.org or in the review at my site with that card.
If not, I guess I'll have to check my HDDs for them.
I gave that card to a friend of mine for his downloading rig

That first pic about makes me cry it looks so sweet

I just started getting into some Air Cooling. I has the Stock Intel HS on the 965XE for a bit, happened to be out and saw a CoolerMaster V8 so I picked that up. Very nice cooler and does pretty well. Next stop will be to mod the fan to get some higher cfm.

her is my air cooling setup

[skugpezz]

tried wire management again

[randomizer]

After my only real attempt at cable management. Took me about 30 seconds.





And now for my no-longer-in-existence s939 rig. Surprisingly, it took me alot longer than the above, mainly because it was hard to get the cables out of the fan blades. (that 24-pin cable was a pain)
