    is it true that Asus A8N-SLI board is having an incompatibility issue with the 3800GT that the board's chipset fan is getting in the way? if so, what type of fan should i buy for replacement? is chipset fan as same as heat sink fan? sorry, i am a little confused about what type of fan i should get.
    thanks

    Whats a 3800GT...? Haha, anyway there are more than one motherboad that have problems with large video cards, not just the 6800 series. It is compleatly possable though I havent looked at any of the SLI boards reciently but it is diffintely a problem with a few boards. I know my NF3 chipset fan is nearly in contact with the Mentioned Video card. You could probably find a passive HS and cut some of the fins to deal with the space needed. I know it would work for a NF3 but I am not sure how much hotter/cooler the NF4 chipsets work at so I'll leave that part for someone else.
