I'm taking the case to bits tonight and I've got some compressed air and TIM-Clean, and some AS5.
Will be looking smart again in no time

Lol, that's exactly what I ended up doing - now have 4 x http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/120mm...ntrol-Notches)Originally Posted by th0r0n
I'll see if I've got OPT_FAN
I hope to god these Noctua fans aren't that good, as I can see me buying 3 more for my case fans and a fan controller!
It's a good job the P182 isn't really a tarty case, or it'd be covered in cold cathodes by now

Can't hear my PC anymore though
This is how the GTX version of your cooler is looking here:
Quiet, cool and .............enormous!
Well the HR-03 is great, remounted the CPU cooler as well and my idle temps as I type this are 30/32 for the CPU and 42 for the GPU.
The Noctura fan is pretty loud at idle, I need to turn it down I think!
Only problem with the HR-03 is one of the heatsinks won't stick and has now dropped off (I can hear it inside the case!)
Do 8800GT's need ramsinks? Am I ok to leave it running overnight until I can get some decent adhesive?
I'll add some pics in a min...
Which of the Nocturna fans have you got? The 120mm model that I am using runs quite happily at 50% speed almost silently. Not sure about the ramsinks - but did read alot about making sure that the ram chips have to be 'completely' clean of any tim before trying to apply heatsinks otherwise they fall off
I personally would not stress test the card until the sinks are on - but then I am a little cautious.
It's the 92mm one, it's running at 1,800RPM according to Speedfan and it's plugged into the CHA_FAN1 header on the motherboard.
The graphics card itself has a 4pin connector where the old fan went, should I be using that really do you think?
I've not stressed the GFX card yet, I'm not sure if it's a ram chip, I think it's a VRM as it's near the capacitors on the card and not by the GPU core.
I'll get some thermal adhesive
I would def plug the fan into the graphics card - as the mb doesn't read the temp of the GPU - I personally keep an eye on the temp of the GPU and set the speed of the GPU fan manually.It's the 92mm one, it's running at 1,800RPM according to Speedfan and it's plugged into the CHA_FAN1 header on the motherboard.

Need a 3 pin to 4 pin adaptor then I think, unless I just plug the 3 pin in and ignore the 4th connector?
Any ideas? It's a Noctua 3 pin, comes with loads of adaptors except the one I need!

Sorry not sure m8, prob be OK but I try and get another opinionHey guys, it's this heatsink that won't stay on:
I think it's a VRM, is my card going to die without it? I've got some thermal tape on order...
It's ok, my thermal tape's arrived anyway
W00t!It's ok, my thermal tape's arrived anyway
Pop some piccies on when its in!
Will do, I also ordered a Logitech USB Mic, 50 Ritek CD's and some pens, DAMN YOU SCAN, DAMN YOU!
I do empathise, Between Custom PC and Scan - I am permanantly skint!!
BTW thats a good mic, you won't be dissapointed
Looking forward to trying it out later
