If it'll be anything like that Darknight/Batman case mod, it should be quite awesome.

Do you have a link?

Mesh, like you mentioned, would be a much better idea because when you start covering thos boards, they're going to start rinning muck hotter.

You could also put some thermal pads under it over the bottom of the RAM chips for aditional cooling. Seems like an idea.

Yeah, that is a possibility. I like the look of mesh also but I'm going to have bother here so i can choose which one looks coolest.

Excellent idea! Thank you. I'll try to locate some thermal pads. Also, when i was reading what you said about thermal pads, the first vision that came to mind were rubber pads that cushion or insulate things...like that on AthlonXP CPUs. This gave me the idea that I can help with heat disipation on top of these cards by doing away with the full-sheet piece of rubber and going with some well placed small rubber pads to hold the cover up, off of the card. The aluminum would then be allowed to take any heat from the top of the card and spread it out. Ideally, no cover is better than a non-contact cover of any kind for heat disipation, but I believe there won't be a crisis of heat build-up to begin with.

Other than that, I can use some perforated sheet rubber.

ACtualy a ram chip thermal pad on the bottom of each chip should hold it up quite nicely and hold it there too. Will be better to trasnfer heat than just the little heatsink rubbers they use on the cpus.

You're right, that's a very good Idea. I'll see if I can find large sheets of thermal material which, itself, would conduct heat right to the aluminum cover. :) Excellent idea!

Name has cahnged, and for good reason....it is now know as the Dark Lord project.

I like Dark Lord more for some reason

[lewislink]

Yeah, it does. I wished I'd have put a little more thought and patience into presentation.
