    Hmmm... just unplugged one of the AUXFAN points with the intention of popping the Xigmatek on there, lo and behold it started up (without me switching it over, so it's still plugged into the CPUFAN1). I've plugged the other fan back in and both are working fine... strange?

    Re: Q6600 - how hot is too hot?

    Ahhh, ok. So they're not some in-house IT term for something... cool

    I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes!

    Now to sort out my cables and close up this case, hurrah!

    Re: Q6600 - how hot is too hot?

    To be honest, 'twas a piece of cake, hardly even referred to any manuals (it's all pretty intuitive isn't it, everythings labeled etc...)

    I'm sure I'll run into a few issues as I go along, but I know you guys will all be here to help out if I need it

    Cheers chaps, appreciate your time!
