    Sounds like your doing a bit of overclocking Dempsey. I'd recomend a 92mm tornado if you have a fan controller. If not the stealth on is fine.

    Everything else looks fine.

    Will you still be interested in that 9800xt?

    I want to lower the temps alright. I was looking at Tornados but I hear they are very loud. Dont plan to do huge overclocking, i might do a little.

    Im not going to be ordering for a while so I could go for that 9800XT if your selling when im buying. PM me specs of your 9800XT.
