Right, here are my 2x80mm fans...proper bodge job this, but it works for now. I'll fashion a bracket of some sort soon...





It's sitting on an old Abit Serialle SATA converter to lift it up and it's wedged under the molex for the DVDRW...

It works...

Lol, awesome bodge job their then!!!

I have an Antec Spot Cool pointing at my Memory/NB, see below:



I also have a Thermalright Ultra 120 waiting to be fitted but I can't be bothered to take it all apart at the moment!!!

I just hang a 120mm fan off one of the mounting posts for my water block. Works perfect!

EDIT: Kup which everest are you using?

My System:
Intel QX9650 (OEM)
Asus Maximus Formula SE (Modified)
Removed all stock heatsinks (what a pain)
SB: is a tall pure copper heatsink, with pins removed as needed to fit in cards
NB: Danger Den NB Cooler
Voltage regulators: Mosfet ASUS 3 x2 (modified to fit between capacitors)
CPU: Danger Den CPU block
Pump: DD12V-D5 (on max #5)
Radiator: Black Ice GTX240
Water Loop: CPU -> NB -> Mosfet -> Mosfet
CPU Temp under full load: 63c
BIOS: 0802 or 0701 I'm playing around
Video: ATI 3870
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 1GB PC8500 x 4 = 4GB
RAID: Promise EX8350: 5x400GB = 2TB
Boot: 2x Raptor 150MB in RAID0 = 289MB
Audio: X-Plosion 7.1
HD Tunner: HD Homerun
OS: Vista x64 Ultimate, Windows XP x64 SP2


BIOS Settings that count:
Ai Overclock Tuner [Manual]
OC From CPU Level Up [Manual]

DDR2 Channel A REF Voltage [Auto]

SB 1.5V Voltage [1.5]

Results:
So that gets me 4060MHz in BIOS or 4040MHz in Windows, and a a memory clock of 1077MHz at CAS5. I stopped at 4GHZ on the CPU as anything more as not prime95 stable at this voltage (although at this voltage it could finish Super Prime at up to 4.3GHz) and I was unwilling to go any higher on the Voltages for 24x7 use.
