I just got it up and running - went with an IC7-Max3 w/ a 3.0C. I'm currently running a very conservative 250FSB clocking to 3.75Ghz. The system is rock solid (stock VCore) and prommie head is reading -40C. CPU temp is -29C, but it's on an Abit so why even use it? =P Everything else seems great - about to turn this baby up. I have a lot of pics + am going to write up how I did all the case cutting, etc. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be - did a LOT of testing for condensation and have been lucky thus far. What size screws does the CPU kit use? I need to grab some spares.

Also a few noob questions - what kind of rise in temperature should we see under full load? I went from -31C idle up to -14C full load - it seems about right but wanted to make sure that I had proper contact (I used AS 5). Next up is a r404a mod :)

I had an older Raidmax sitting around that I just plugged in - works incredibly well so far - just use the PS switch to turn the unit off/on.
