What's the black edge behind the mobo at your cpu?
Is it rubber trim for a hole in your mobo mounting panel?
I'm about to nibble a hole in mine. So sick of pulling the mobo to swop cooling back plates.
Had any hassles with the two black heat blocks near your cpu? I found they didn't make good contact on the middle of each row. Had to bend them in a tad and regrease them. Got rid of piles of that gunk gap filling TIM they used.
here browse around for some inspiration. www.themodnation.com
2 120 rear exhaust, you'd have to fab some sheets and move PSU a little upwards.
thermostat is usually #1-10, 8 is nice already...
that link is for inspiration if you want to extremely mod your case too.

try one of bill owen's or stu kings threads...
2 120 holes and PSU, i plan to fab my own alum back panel.
rofl... welcome to collge, if thats where you are.
The thermostat in my room at school was like that. 1-10, 1 being coldest. Further to the left of the 1, beyond "cold" was a symbol of 2 snowflakes. I usually put it on there an hour or so before I wanted to bench. :rolleyes: :p:
Awww come on, those PSU's have got nothing but good reviews. Especially their 1200 Watt version. Yes Thermaltake USUALLY makes some crap products, but these new PSU's are a step in a different direction for them. If you can afford it, it's one bad @ss PSU.

I'm not going to argue with you because its pointless. I should ask Hard H20 to comment. He recently lost a new $500 server motherboard because of a new ThermalTake Toughpower PSU. I think it was a 850watt model.
Anyway, it doesn't matter what I think, although I do not have a high regard for CWT PSUs. I did pay more for my PSU than the $400 price of the Toughpower 1200w.
toughpower is pretty good its been doing good for me but what do you think of the pc power & cooling psu
pc power & cooling is the BEST!
So Mr. OP, did you ever end up taking my advice and reorient your CPU waterblock? That's 2-3C drop in temps.

Those two fans are probably doing your mosfets a power of good.
I've seen that R50 lettering cooked off the coil covers in two weeks of use and contact on the two black sinks is poor to average. So I think your rear fan mod is likely quite beneficial to the board's life.
those r50 things get really really hot that another reason i added the fans and also reason i put heatsinks on them
Yeah, that motherboard has brought quite a few of us to WC. lol
lol no kidding
sorry to go off topic but i was thinking of getting an 8800 gtx but did everyone see the r600 specs on tomhardware.com that thing sounds great and cheaper im thinking of trying ati for the first time
