    Q&A's

    Flow seems pretty good, the water moves from what I can tell when getting the air out (lots of tumbling the case with this loop ).

    I dont see any problem with putting lots of fans on one molex...the wire guage is heavier than the thin guage wire on the fans, I think those can handle a couple amps, should be ok. Inside a power supply the connections are all bridged anyway, so wire guage is your only concern.

    A little update...seems I got some bum Ballistix, I have really bad luck with memory, second time out of 2 times this happened. Did some testing and the memory doesnt do its rated spec with memtest, so something's funny there. And the random lockup at 423 MHz even after a 8 hour Orthos run is weird. Either that or I dont know what I'm doing, but I tried pretty much all MCH/FSB/Memory voltage combos, straps, timings, and speeds, still doesnt work right. So I put the old Corsair memory with those high-bandwidth Promos chips in them and am just running it at 3.7 GHz now. I will cherish the day I buy some fancy memory and it isnt DOA or refusing to do the rated spec.

    Thanks for the complements on my machine guys!

    If I were you I would RMA the Ballistix since crucial has one of the best RMA services I have ever seen. Up there with EVGA.

    No need for an RMA, the problem was I have no idea what I am doing. I just discovered the limitations of the 4:5 memory divider of my board, the memory tests ok on another divider to make 500mhz. That sent me on the wrong path and it went downhill from there. But now that I did a bit of reading on the 975X today, I think I can get to where I'm going without looking too idiotic in the process, hopefully

    It's getting there...still figuring out the voltages:
