@ragnarok: shouldn't the heatpipes of the NH-C12P be facing to the rear?

A 260GTX is actually better than a 9800GTX+. :)

btw y do u need fans for ur RAM

Rule of thumb : 2V and over = fan on ram.

Well Im testing the OC potential of the RAM at the moment and I think the cooler will help, I took the DDR MHz from (stock) 666-776 to generate some baseline data:

But some still gets through.

My case has a dust filter as well. It still gets really dusty

I just go without dust filters. I like the extra airflow and the dust can be dealt with by my air compressor.

My old case has dust filters and the difference seems I have to clean every 3 months for the open build and 6 months for the case.

Sounds great but for crying out loud, get rid of all that dust or else you may end up frying it, dust and static electricity is a bad combination.

PS: don’t do like MomijiTMO now by putting it up until Christmas either :D

I believe that's the case with MSI's AMD boards, but atleast with my mobo it's 1+3 or 2+4 for dualchannel.

Im so happy i got rid of all the noctua P12s in my rig. Even the noctua C12P heatsink had a Scythe minebea mid on it.

Just got these...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...5/P1040277.jpg

Beside the minebea low...these are the other fans running in my rig now...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...5/P1040279.jpg

My fan config in my rig:

Intake: Minebea Low to cool the Hdd.
Mid Intake: Minebea Mid to cool my 9800GTX+.
PCI exhaust: Minebea Low to take out the warm air near the pci area, mostly produce by the graphic card.
CPU cooling: Minebea Mid on a noctua C12P heatsink.
Exhaust: Scythe KamaFlex.

I realise that is does indeed look dusty but that is actually tarnishing of the Cooper as I boiled the HS before it went onto the new build to remove all dust and grease build up but sadly realised I had no White Vinegar 1/2 way through and the cooper has lost it's shine.

You should rotate your CPU 90 degrees. Personally I think it looks better, but if you got lower temps that way then I understand. :p:

look at it more carefully. it's AM2 and there is only one orientation for the heatsink unless he makes his own bracket

Lian Li PC8

Just thought I'd post up some images of this aircooled system I built a couple of days ago.

Quite impressed with the Lian Li PC8... some nice tweeks making it better than the older PC7.

Those are also the Yate Loon red LED fans in there by the way, nice & quiet.

The graphics card is a Gainward 4850 with dual slot cooler... if anyone is interested ;)

Hey guys I have a question for those across the sea

is www.pcsilent.de a reputable site to purchase from?

I'm looking for a European computer mods store that ships to the USA. If you have any recommendations please feel free to list :D

I know this is the wrong section to ask in but it's just that majority of those across the sea seem to be gathered up in this thread for some reason :confused:

My upcoming HTPC is almost done, it's just missing 2 things. The case I can get anywhere and specific fans not found in the USA that will make a huge difference in looks :ROTF:. I can't wait until I can post pictures of it when it's done. :up:

No doubt, thanks for posting it. I think we need a shorter version of "Nice pictures Tommy", maybe even just a letter.

For example: z.

Ok everybody, from now on when you want to say that Tommy's pictures are nice, just type "z". We need to help Fugger save some bandwidth. :p:

I'm kidding, you know how we all feel about your pictures, keep doing what you do well.

Upgraded the pc recently, went from a S939 4400+, 2 x 1GB OCZ Plats and DFI CFX3200DR to a Q9550, Asus Rampage Formula and 2 x 2GB Corsair Dominator PC8500.

http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/1...c309or8.th.jpg http://img110.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif

Fitted a Scythe Musashi cooler to the 4870 and it's lost all it's rigidity now. I've pulled the GPu power wires through into the case a bit more now so the prop up the card and make it look a bit more level and less bent.

For the Kaze White, it would not be selling in the US.

Apparently its a discontinued model from Scythe, and the Distro here have some extra stocks. After which it would no longer be brought in.

Sad thing is, its a fan that has both performance and bling. But its so rare :(

Those in Europe should be able to get them
