    Hay GK just PM either Nils or Fhantastic and ask them about the Sata cable.
    I have never cut one up, but I would take a guess that is is only a group of single wire's, could be totaly wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

    As for the Dot's.
    When you go to re-paint the temp sensor with the top coat (colour you want to see).
    The paint will act the same way and be pushed to the sides, leaving a hole without paint over it.
    You can paint it like 5 times and the same thing will keep happening.
    The only thing that will change is, around the outside of the "Dot" will form a thick ridge of paint, that should of been over the hole, it will end up looking butt ugly.

    perhaps this link will help give you some ideas.
    Baby SATA
    it about cutting a SATA cable smaller, perhaps using a longer SATA cable and cutting it down will suit your needs.
    I myself never tried it.

    thx for the link, it helped me to decide to not cut the SATA

    I could never work out what the hell that piece of metal was for that comes with the P80 - you've found a good use for it :P
    Thank you mate.
    Yeah it turned out well, on par with TMS-200 bracket it is waiting for the final layer of black paint.

    Sure, I am not going to cover them with paint. They will be black too, that's all I need

    Finally it turned out great


    I did some overclocking yesterday and hit 4.5GHz - completely LinX stable without crazy voltages and temps that was my goal when I started this build, but now I see that I can go even higher

    This was made at 27C ambient with rad fans running 1000rpm and it looks like voltages can be lowered a bit

    Your temp-sensor looks sweet my bro, you got such a nice talent on sleeving.

    Your vcore also looks good on E8500. I oc'ing my E8600 4.5Ghz between 1.2xx~1.325 vcore ranges, nothing fancy.

    PS: Last night, I saw 16C CPU temp. in the air. Snow worked out well.

    I too ordered the NB fans. They seem
    damn quiet and they had blue...

    BTW the rad brackets are 1.94mm thick, just FYI

    Looking forward to seeing it all together.
    Thanks Dave, glad you like it. And thanks for the info about brackets, I'll keep this in mind.

    Yeah I am looking forward to assembling all this parts together too, but daym something is missing everytime and I have to wait again. Hopefully pieces of this puzzle will come together soon

    Tbh I am a bit dissapointed about those Noiseblockers I recently received
    Accessories and look is second to none, but they cost 16 euro and sound not better than $9 Yate Loons
    Considering their awesome 120mm Multiframe I've expected something better. Please don't get me wrong, they are quiet but that is not a good deal to my mind. For anybody searching for good 140mm I would definitely recommend medium speed Yates.

    Thanks Arthur, your second run on sleeving looks way much better than the first one

    Voltage setting are pretty rough here, had no time for accurate tweaking, hopefully I'll be able to lower them a bit.

    ==================================================
    Small update.

    I've finally managed to finish HDD bracket, that was real pain in the ass to paint it. Having -20C outside and nearly 0C in dusty balcony it is not the thing can be called perfect painting conditions.
    But anyway it is finished and looks fine.

    I believe you can be able to lower them.

    Yes, I had to re-sleeve my cables with my new PSU, I suppose they are more proper for my project now. I would like to see your feedback on my worklog too.

    Live long and prosper,
    Arthur
