I finished my build this week. Today i put in a couple of new fans. Im happy with the new Core i7 build.

Next thing has to be watercooling. But for now the cash is gone....

Awesome v350 mod tremeloes...
The v350 is a very nice case, but it would have been nice for them to have been laid out more like yours is, even just having the psu over the GPU to vent that area would have be awesome... It's been very hard deciding where everything needs to go in my case...

thanks.
took me about 6-8 month to figure out where everything has to be (after first aircooling - than watercooling - mow air again).
Agreed, very nice V350 you have there.
It would be funny if Lian li redesigned the case with your layout and called it a revised edition lol
Work and School, Work and School, oi!
If they did that I would be all over it.
The problem is even with just like the HDD bays you can run into issues with taller GPU coolers as well. The PSU is a bit shorter than the HDD bays are so that gives you some more room on that side.
The stock setup is just very crowded.

@methimpikehoses: is putting that 8cm fan under your 4870x2 helping? how did you mount it?
It's very good at keeping hot air from being trapped under the card. The case window was getting warm before under load, but not anymore.
It's sitting on one of the metal brackets from the back, which is wedges perfectly on top of a support bracket attached to the case directly above the PSU. Then the fan just sits loosely, but it's solid as a rock.
That's a terrible explanation, I'll try to get a pic when I have the chance.![]()

Here is that fan mount.
Just use one of the cover brackets:
Slides right in between the mobo and the case framing
92mm Fan fits perfectly beneath GPU, no other securing mechanism.
I may switch out to an 80mm fan that I have because the LEDs one this one are almost too bright, although I might need to find a different way to make it stay put.![]()

does that really make a huge difference in temps for the tj-09 if yes i'll do it too.

Yeah, I had four open slots so it was an easy choice. I was noticing before that the window was getting warm after long periods of gaming... this no longer occurs. I don't have precise numbers for GPU temps... but it clearly helps the ambient temps.![]()

Hey everyone, finally got my hands on a HR-03 GTX for my EVGA GTX 260 (65nm 216 superclocked).
Idle around 35 C... to early for load temps as I just installed it.
Anyway, have a look:
These don't show off the colors in my 900 all that well, but that's okay.
Cheers
man i wish that the arctic cooling and zalman z-machinne GPU coolers can be used on GTX, they look even better than :banana::banana::banana::banana:
anyways can i use them on GTX anyone?
