Thanks guys!
nealh...holes are all 1" holesaw with some I think 11/16 grommets that fit in a 1" hole, bag of 50 or100 for maybe $6.00 at McMaster, I almost want to drill more holes with that deal, lol. It's real tight, but if you split the grommet to get it on, then use some finesse and brute force, you can get the 24 pin through a 1" hole. I think your running an XBX2 also, so you know the thermisters are between the cpu and memory, and between the memory slots. They are right under the fan wash, so I'm not too sure what they are reading now. I also got a chipset block also, so I dont know if that not heating the board anymore has anything to do with the temps I'm getting, they seem low. Anyway, I've been running Orthos all day to make sure I didnt break anything and right now with the wall thermometer saying 79F, my zone A is 40C, zone B is 36. Good thing that is blowing a noticably cool breeze on the memory, with the way the memory market cratered, I also got some D9 Ballistix (ddr2-1000 version) which I hear need some good cooling. I plan on turning up the juice on those once I get a feel for them. I'm leaving the 92mm's out, with 2 120 intakes those seem to best suited for exhaust holes as I'm just cooling memory and mosfets in there now. I'll say one thing, this thing works for sure. TAT is showing 48 through 51 Orthos loading, before at this room temp it would be pushing 60.
On that note, I found that one of my 36" SATA cables is bad, it wouldnt let the DVD drive be seen by the computer and it wont boot with it connected. The drive definately is ok with a cable switch. Now that it is a new cable (OKGear), and how the heck do you DOA a cable
, any recommendations on another brand of known good cables in 36" preferably in black?
Well, time to start seeing how OC'ing this will go now, later!
