Hi guys,
There is no comparison to the AMG Plusview that I've been using for the past 5 to 6 years. Not to say that it was a bad case but the 1200 is awesome! Cable management is great, got all cables running behind the back plate and cooling is rather surprising as I have all 6 fans on high and it's a lot quieter than the old case... somewhat like a mild hum as opposed to the whining of the 80 mm fans that were hooked up to a fan controller. At idle on stock cooler the temps are at 26 C compared to 30 C in the AMG Plusview using the Asus probe. I'll going to borrow a camera and post some pics. Thanks for moving the thread Dave.

Well the Thermalright trad2 works on my youngest son's 1950 pro (my old card).
Although the cooler is impressive... I'm less than impressed by the lack of performance of the fans that came with the unit... those Thermalright fans just don't cut it for the hardcore enthusiast. I'll look around for some Thermaltake 92mm smart fans if they are available... now those should impress me with this cooler! -------------------- Q9550
