I have the blue version of the first one and it is very, very bright.

Ordered some more stuff today:
1x120mm Arctic Cooling Fan
1x80mm Arctic Cooling Fan
1x120mm Yate Loon D12-SL
2x 12" Red CCFls
Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B

8)

I picked the red CCFLs marketed by SVC because I'm pretty sure they're the Sunbeam ones and FragTek has had those and they were very nice.

Wow guys, this is a really noob question but...do I need to use washers when installing my mobo? I ask because most guides online don't use them, on my first build I used them..

If I do need to use them the arrangement is as so:

standoff>washer>mobo>washer>screw into standoff

So basically one washer ontop of standoff, mobo sits on standoff + washer and screw with washer below head goes into mobo + standoff. Right?

You don't need any washers when you install the mobo in to the case. Just screw the mobo to the standoff's and your set. I'm also building a new rig and my ram+mobo should arrive next tuesday or wednesday. G-Skill F2-6400PHU2-GBHZ ram and DFI Infinity Dark P965-S mobo I have not yet decided which cpu and videocard to buy...

Thanks for the advice! I still might put washers in just to be safe though..not sure yet!


By the way, adding a VDroop mod for the board when it comes in .

And changing the sucktastic thermal paste.

Any advice on how to safely remove and reinstall Asus heatpipe?

I am sure i read in the intel section that ASUS have sorted their poor thermal paste and now there is no need to pop off the heatpipes ???
If you have/want to take them off then its not too hard.
