n00b here just want to share some pics and screenshots...I wish I could help you folks but I barely know how to put together a pc, just not my day job.
My drama are posted at forum.uabit under IP35 PRO build story

new pictures of the Abit IP35 PRO w/ E8400 cooled by Xigmatek RedScorpion S1283

...as you can see here, its more like orange than red---for a red scorpion---kinda misleading...but Xigmatek does say white LEDs.

Next pictures show some rubbing action..don't know if there will be any heat transfer



the one positive thing about this Xigmatek is this spoiler that cools the mosfets???...but the spoiler is very loose...I need to glue it down (is that a bad idea?) or maybe use those plastic ties


I wonder if I could add a fan here to "pull" hot air from the CPU cooler.
Any thoughts?
Any suggestions/ideas/thoughts (negative or positive) are welcome...I'm still taking baby-steps in pc building
btw its quiet enough I sometimes forget its "on"
