    Re: My new Quad-core RIG

    3.33GHz is as far as I would go according to those temps. What cooler is that with?

    Zerotherm Nirvana .. load temperatures all fall by 4-5 degrees once I open up the drive bays. But I will be sticking with 3.33 as I can do that with all voltages at stock apart from the CPU vcore. At least now I know the limit of my chip. Ah well, 200mhz short of 3.6 is quite an achievement in my nooby overclocking world!

    I've got that case and if you are only using on 5.25" bay you can stick a 120mm fan underneath your dvd Drive (or two, one at the front at of the case and one at the end of the drive bay if you want to use slow spinning fans) to blow some nice cool air straight over the ram and the CPU HSF

    Drops my temps quite nicely.

    Yes, that's what I intend to do, hence the scythe kama. But how have you attached your fans, just used zips to clip them onto the screw holes onto the sides? Got a pic?

    Not to hand no. Mine is just blu-taced to the bottom of the cage. cuts down on vibration and holds it where it needs to be quite nicely.

    What case do you have, how many fans and what's their configuration?

    Re: My new Quad-core RIG

    Well, thanks to all those who helped me out and in return, a few pictures I believe are required!









    And before cable management:



    Now I just have to find a case to shift my old parts into. Trying to make a choice between this Coolermaster or Antec. Any suggestions?
