It's for bling :)

I thought it was some of that isolation material (you know, the one put around hot pipes...) :D
Well, anyway, it works real well in the bling sense and yeah, red pcb is so much nicer ;)
black acrylic :) and for heat.. there is no change with it or without it :)
yea, if u can't paint it put something black on it :DQuote:

but it won't touch it metal to metal. i have used doublesided 3M tape to put it on those screws
Hey, it's overrated. :p:Quote:

I also got 2 more Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000rpm fans, I added one onto my IFX-14 and the other is blowing on my RAM :D
Hey how is that cooler on your Gainward 4870?
Its awesome :D, I get like 61C load temps. The stock cooler (from what I have read in reviews) gets 81C +, also my room temp would be about the same as their's. Also when I overclock to 800MHz the temps did go up :DQuote:

How loud is your PC with those 3 Kaze's? I'm running 1 and it sounds like a jet engine...
I'm assuming you have the 3,000s, right?
THX, yeah I have the 3000's :D, i'm fine with the noise, it only increased a very small amount :).Quote:

sorry for the bad cabling, i have too many fans (12) and not enough time!
OdinEidolon, are those Xilence fans any good? I was looking those to my HTPC cuz those are so cheap and looks good..
no, sorry, they are crap. they were only 2 euros each, so i bought some. They are silent (run @1200RPM, not the specified 1400 xilence claims) but they barely push any air.Quote:

They are not passively cooled, there are 2 100mm scythe kaze slim (2000rpm version) fans on each of the accelero's, they keep it around 32C idle, with the side panel open of course :DQuote:
