@ quintero
can you tell me what kind of cooling do you use for your crosshair?
E8400 E0 @ 4.00 GHZ, DFI P45 T2RS+, 4X2GB Mushkin 1066 996599, Radeon 4890 , Enermax Liberty 620W , 4X500GB HDD+Samsung SLC 64gb SSD.
all paired with a LG 245WP
I use the Thermalright XP-90, which seems to be a perfect match. I prefer to have the fan blow away from the board - that way it sucks a lot of heat from the heatpipes. Part of the heatsink makes a "shelf" that hangs directly above the mobo's HS (close to the I/O panel). In addition, the orientation of the TR's fins ensures fairly good airflow from the "upper" and "lower" heatpipes. But you might need an additional fan if quiet operation is a priority.
