Is that stock vcore or auto. In auto, asus raises vcore for you, and on my p5w and p5b's, it uses a little more than was needed.

I'm confused as to how remounting the heatsink did away with the capacitor clearance problem. Could you post a pic of the same view showing the cap-to-heatsink positions now? Thanks.

P.S. I may get the same heatsink for the same board so I am concerned about the caps close to the cpu socket. I will also be lapping my cpu so I will have slightly less clearance than what yours shows... It seems to me that an infinity cooler may be not an option.

Some heatsinks placed in certain directions end up making contact with surround capicitors. Most of the time if you simply turn the heatsink 90 degress (on its base) then you may find it will fit. If it still doesn't then the heatsink simply isn't compatible with the motherboard.

Well, that's the thing. Those same caps are at 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock relative to the cpu socket, so I'm confused as to how they mounted the infinity. If they just turned it 90 degrees, those same caps are waiting to block them there as well.

Notice this pic:

Rotating the heatsink doesn't solve the problem in this case.

Hey Natalia, one question.

Im thinking about buying the same case. Even tho its more than 300$ here.
Is that front side that opens made out of metal or plastic?

Another thing:

How quality is this clip:

To be honest, if I had to do it again, I wouldn't do the same cooler. Not the best fit for the board due to clearance is .1mm at best.

The front is metal. All around this is a super high quality case. Extremely sturdy and very sexy :p: I love the Motherboard tray that just slides out in a jiffy too!

you probably would have been better with a TT Big Typhoon.

i'm starting to think i should have purchased a stacker, or a V2100, i'm really starting to hate this P180.

All out of metal you say....Good.

That sliding side indeed does look awsome.

Im deciding between the 830 and 810. Both seem nice so its a tough choice.

I have the 810 and I like the fact that it has wheels and also has vents at the bottom of the case. Makes it easy to put a 120.2 rad on there :) One of the key differences between this and the 830 is that the 810 does not have a sliding mobo tray. However, that's not too big of a deal since the case is so big you won't have much trouble getting things in and out.

I got one. It's like the BMW of cases. Not a very mod-friendly case, but then you break out the blowtorch and pliers on a chevy, not a beemer. ;)

I suspect a similar problem with the BT.

that clamp actually sits very high. sits about 1/2 inch higher than the caps on my board.

and i have no idea what you're talking about in your previous post :stick:

I meant you don't spend $250 to $300 on a decked out case only to slice and dice it when, if that is what you wanted to do, you are better off getting a much cheaper and mod-friendly case.

i have the Aspire X-Navigator and its a breeze to install stuff....bigger than Coolermaster and alot roomier, comes with 4 fans for like 100$ 120 in back and 3 80mm all around..
easily customizable and metal, so its sturdy..but i have no ideas of what to mod it into

Also, none of this would have been possible without the help of Ranger XLT who stayed up with me for 4 nights to teach me how to put this together and how to do the tweaking and overclocking.

And here are the numbers Ranger helped me get:

FSB of 370 -> 3.33 GHz (Stable, he made me run Orhtos all night :p:)
VCore of 1.35 volts
Memory at 925 Mhz 2.25 volts
4-4-4-8 Timings
PCI-Express at 110 MHz

Aquamark was 188K
3DMark 2006 was 10,820
And Super Pi 1 Million was 15.312 seconds

Natalia, is the system still stable?

holy moOOOooOoOOoly! 3D MArk over 10K...geez...Natalia you're certainly a cccccrazy gal! Mine only reached 8.6K score...:(

BTW, Coolermaster 830 FTW...

Ok, with new BIOS I was ablt to lower the multiplyer to 8x and increase the FSB to 414! Yeay!
