Why did you put the heatsinks fan facing the front of the case when you want air to go through the back. I have the OCZ Vendetta and my fan is facing the exact opposite way, it was a bitch to do but it gets me 43 c idle :3:

It doesn't blow towards the front of the case. That's how you're supposed to mount the fan.

For fuck sake, my TRUE didn't come with the AM2 backplate, so I have to buy one now. Grrrr
But it does say that it comes with the am2 stuff, shall I send it back? Any ideas?

If says you can mount it on an AM2 board, but doesn't come with the correct kit, you can send it back

I was tired and distracted while installing a F7P in a friend's PC and put it in the wrong way round :fuckyou:
thankfully I noticed within about 5 seconds and the paste was fine
Nevermind, I got it on.

SHHHIITTTT
I did it the opposite way :(
No wonder it was such a bitch to put on. If I goto reverse it, will I notice a decrease in my PC temps?
[QUOTE=Druchii;16626838]Looks good to me! :)[/QUOTE]
1.472 v?
44 C idle?
Still sound good?

44'C Idle ain't so bad.
I'd be worried about the vcore though :S
Got an E8400 here that idles at 47-48'C @ 3.7Ghz.
Hey, we're Mhz buddies! :buddy:
[editline]06:23PM[/editline]
Looking around quickly, that vcore probably isn't so bad as long as the temps remain relatively good.
Hmmm GTA IV wont benchmark :( still plays fine though.
I would take it higher but my mobo wont let me add more that 150mv.

Download OCCT and bench using that.
If it stands upto an hour or two it should be stable.

Also does the northbridge voltage matter?

Yummy Insulating dust
The Tagan got moved to my HTPC. - I couldn't care less about cable management, My temps are fine and I have no window plus I am swapping parts out too much.
I replaced the stock thumbscrews/DVD drive screws with some Allen bolts:

I finally did some actual cable management. Hooray for space behind and inside the drive bays.

Hah You did it!!
Look so much cooler imo.
why replace the screws? now when you want to move/add/remove a drive, you'll need an allen wrench.
my name is allen :raise:

He did it in the name of sexy cases
Plus they are much MUCH easier to recover if the heads get stripped, and less likely to get their heads stripped before that.
Compared to ordinary screws of course, Thumbscrews are eyesoars.

Because I can :colbert:

Is there any way to force more voltage? about 30 more mv.

One of them,I could go higher if I could get more voltage.
[QUOTE=n00bmuffin;16629120]-stuff=[/QUOTE]
Cabling looks okay/overall build looks good, but I hate those stupid orb coolers. I wish they would just stick with the regular dual slot blower fans.
Yeah...but it works, though quite loud
This isn't mine but it really worth a look.
