Hello I am planning to upgrade my cooling and gpu card I have the haf932 case.
Right now I have asetek cooler that came with the rig,I plan on upgradeing to the Noctua dual fan cooler. My question is does the noctua run cooler and is it as quiet as the asetek cooler (can barely hear it when rig is on). Also whats DS policy on upgrading gpus do you get a warranty like the ones that came with the rig and do they keep the old ones and send you the new ones or do you keep both? Ouch

if you get the new gpu from DS, you keep both.

get the Noctua NH-U14P, its runs cooler.

Currently my rig is set up for gtx 275 sli,1000w power supply. I want to upgrade to a hd 5970,can I use the power cords that are already going into the power supply or do I have to mess up my nice cable management and use new power cables? Dead

your 275 took 2 x 6 pin, so you had 4 x 6 pin for sli.

the 5970 takes 1x 6 pin / 8 pin
