So my power supply is on it's way to me right now, which means I'll be able to put my GTX 275 in from Makol finally and that means I'll be posting some new pictures of the inside of my horrible computer and testing to see if my fourth core is stable.
[QUOTE=seano12;32677981]We have the same CPU at the same clock speed![/QUOTE] Haha, are you upgrading soon too? :p Did you ever have it stable at a higher freq? Mine was at 4.3 stable for a few days. Then i realized i was a bit above the max voltage that Intel suggested. :(
New CPU/MoBo came in yesterday, and no the motherboard is not really running that hot. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/454542142.png[/img] I will take some pictures within the next couple days
That temp almost killed me. Then I read the post.
Could someone link me to a guide on how to set up a SSD+Storage Drive solution where I have only the OS on the SSD? [editline]9th October 2011[/editline] My solution never worked :tinfoil:
What do you need to know exactly? Boot to windows installation via DVD or USB drive, format your SSD and install windows to it.

Then i realized i was a bit above the max voltage that Intel suggested. :([/QUOTE] I haven't gone past 3.8 yet, since I'm going to do a new build within the next two months I'm probably going to OC it to 4.0 when BF3 comes out. I just put it on normal voltage and adjust the voltages through the Nvidia tool.
[QUOTE=labbet;32666515]Should I get a fan for my cpu? Its never really hot in my room, and the case I'm getting has front and rear 120mm fans. And what is thermal paste for?[/QUOTE] Do you have any idea how hot processors really get? If CPUs weren't designed to shut off by a certain temperature, this would happen: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSGcnRanYMM[/media]
You wouldn't think they would get that hot from the miniscule voltage applied to them.
[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32703634]You wouldn't think they would get that hot from the miniscule voltage applied to them.[/QUOTE] You would when you realize that at 2GHz your CPU makes 2 000 000 000 cycles [b]per second[/b]

[QUOTE=labbet;32708722]is that a yes[/QUOTE] You need some sort of CPU Cooler. The good thing is, almost every CPU you buy (Non OEM, those are a few $ cheaper because they include no cpu cooler) comes with a stock cpu cooler, these are fine for cooling your CPU, but limit the amount you can overclock and usually are quite noisy.
I'm going to turn my computer off at night, so noise isn't a big deal. And my case now has 3 fans, 2 120mm and one 80mm.
These past few pages makes me want a 2500 or 2600. But i don't want to leave my lovely Q9550. I hate wanting to buy a new computer when i don't need to:smith:

What are your full specs again?

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32703634]You wouldn't think they would get that hot from the miniscule voltage applied to them.[/QUOTE] There is amps too you know. If my maths is right (it probably isn't) For example: your stock Intel core i5 2500K; stock voltage, stock clock speed. 95 watts divided by 0.988 volts = 96.1538462 amps 95 watts is the TDP, so It's probably more than that but still That is why the CPU has its 4 pin connector.

Mount your H60 radiator to the roof with it sucking air in, then use the exhaust as normal, better airflow, cooler temperatures and it looks better (imo). Also I can't tell from the pictures but it looks like you've mounted your fans wrong, with the CM 690 II you're supposed to take the top off and mount the fans between the lid and top area, so put the H60 radiator where the rear-top fan is and move both top fans to the proper fan area by taking the lid off.

Also the stock 140mm was mounted like that, im pretty sure this is ok.

[QUOTE=Shadaez;32760312]sucking air in from the back..?[/QUOTE] Imho thats better that sucking it in from the top..
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;32760344]Imho thats better that sucking it in from the top..[/QUOTE] way to break ATX specifications, air should be blown out the back, your PSU is pushing air out the back and is most likely having at least some of the heat from that sucked back in with the h70, it would probably be best to have it on the top or pushing air out.
Not unless all your other fans are reversed (specifically the front of the case) and even then the PSU is pushing out very warm near where the H60 is pulling it back in. The whole point of mounting the H60 to the top and sucking air in is the exhaust is immediately positioned to suck the warm air straight back out while keeping the natural airflow of the case in-tact.
What the actual fuck is the weight of that picture.
Question: was annoyed by some PSU fan ticking a while ago [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1123634[/url] So i mounted my PSU upside down, so it's now pushing air up into the case The ticking stopped, but how does it affect airflow? I haven't noticed any significant temp changes, but that might change if i get a second GPU

[QUOTE=Shadaez;32762288]The fan blows air out the back of the case, it should help airflow if anything, but slightly warmer air will be going through the PSU.[/QUOTE] nope, it's definately blowing it into the case
That's not true unless you took the fan out and reversed it, Use a piece of tissue and put it over the PSU to check while it's on, if it's really blowing hot air into the case you need to reverse the fan.
