> What performance difference are you talking about? Dude, you can overclock any graphic card yourself and get whatever performance you want. if asus card is clocked highet than zotac, just manually overclock the card. It's damn simple and just a 30 s task.

> I stopped replyng because I was in hospital. The very first thing I did after coming home was replying to forums lol.
 
Sorry.... You feeling okay now! Let me guess typhoid ?

I know dude but i went out today and got the asus one. I liked it from the first time and moreover i liked lilltle things on it like dust proof fans(i live right next to nh so no to explain that) , direct power, additonal fins at the end, high quality materials, runs lilltle bit cooler.
I read a similar link which kinda pushed me out of the edge and finally buying asus.

i'm really thankfull for your time and energy. Hope you recover fast.

I've some doubt about hyper 212 fan direction. According to this www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Which-is-The-Best-Position-for-a-Tower-CPU-Cooler/1815
the best position is fan above the gpu blowing the air towarda the top. I just figured that my gpu is really close to the hyper 212. Is this setup ok. Or do i need to change it's orientation.?

Set the cooler with fan facing GPU (cpu cooler fan blows air ON the heat sink) and install a 120 mm case fan top blowing air out of the cabinet.

Okay... will update you on how it works.! i tried aligned as you said but it's insanely close to the asus gtx 760. Please find the link for a pic www.flickr.com/photos/102000010@N03/11302992555/ , so removed. and harshil how about if i aligned it as if, it's blowing the air towards the back of the gamma. as their is s already the default cabinet fan placed.

And how many fans (120mm) can i use? with all this config!?

One 120 mm fan is included with the cabinet. Other than that, I would recommend three additional 120 mm fans and the following placement:

1 front intake
1 side-lower intake
1 top exhaust
1 rear exahust

You can go for LED fans to give a cool effect.

Sorry :). That doesn't seem ctoo close but the graphic card is obstructing the fan. Yeah you should change it so that cooler's fan faces right when cabinet is viewed from left panel.

I did bro... completely did it. there was no such option available during installation and moreover i even tried installing the drivers that came with the gpu.. but no luck.
do you think something is wrong with the gpu or the dvi --> vga converter.?? Any sure answers would be really helpful.!

It's probably a problem with the converter as the attached screenshot shows the display as "Display device on: VGA" instead of monitor's model.
Click to expand...

Yeah... i confirmed it by using dvi to vga cable, which resulted in proper resolution but there was black border on the top the screen. which i tried scaling and re-sizing to fix, it's just wouldn't fit properly. Looks like time to buy a new monitor dude.
