Indeed you can't modify BIOS, CPU heatsink is not changeable, can't adjust case fan speed or RAM timings and the PSU's are weak. Other than that they are pretty decent. Not a bad idea.

Yes I recently gave mine a good clean and by god was it full of dust! The pin mod I used for my Q6600 actually clocks the CPU from 2.4 to 3Ghz and then I use setFSB to push it up that extra 50Mhz. Any more and it just isn't stable which is why I am going to give it more voltage. They are...

Just thought I would wrap this up by saying I have flashed back to the original BIOS and am using 3rd party overclocking to get 960/1410 @ 1.3V. It is very stable, ran Furmark + Prime95 to test total heat output and it ran for over 90 mins no probs. Max temp of 83c with stock cooler + some extra...

I'm not sure these plugs have the same pins as the ones in the link you provided however I proceeded to cut the blue wire and sure enough fans are on 100%! They sound like a jet engine but I have headphones on while I am gaming and if I touch the loose wire to the case it throttles it down to...

This will be my last resort but it is still a possibility! If my theory is correct getting that bottom 90mm fan to pull more air will help and possibly even solve the issue. I may still need side ventilation after that we will see. My PC crashes when the GPU reaches about 96c, I believe...

No offence taken, one mans turd is another mans treasure! I have already dropped the temps massively by changing the airflow from back to front so even if I have to leave it as it is I am happy. :) I highly doubt I would find a BTX case, they are rare enough as it is nowadays! If you are...

In an ideal world where I have lots of money I would do just that, however I have no funds to put into this project so will have to make do with what I have! Thanks shovenose, so you think pulling/cutting the blue wire will definitely increase the fan speed? It doesn't overheat but it does...

Nice idea I will try to find some and give it a try! One step ahead of you there, I have tried many different configurations before I decided to ask here for help! I am already using setFSB in conjunction with a pin mod to get the CPU running at 3050Mhz, been like it almost 2 years and works...

Here it is, it was definitely not the same one lol! I didnt realize how many versions of the asus bios there are!

On second thought it might not be the same.... Best wait till I get back and I will send you the one I have to be sure!

I am pretty sure it was this bios mate: http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/94306/asus-hd5770-1024-101112.html Just to be sure I will forward you the file I have on my pc when I get home later tonight or tomorrow but I'm pretty sure that's the one.

Thanks for your input Kusah! I did originally buy the 2 green fans and fit them as exhausts, but as the CPU was exhausting straight over the GPU fan it was causing it to run hotter. Also the bottom 90mm fan really needs to extract as otherwise the GPU exhaust heat gets sucked straight up into...

Hi forum! I have been playing around with my fan configuration to try and get the best possible cooling for my pc. However any way I configure the fans the CPU and GPU temps are always higher with the case closed... I have tried quite a few configurations and the current one is the best I have...

Still no go unfortunately, also it seems that modifying clock info 00 is what is disabling powerplay and any clock modification as they works regardless of the GPU register if left alone. I guess I will have to stick with the standard Asus bios + 3rd party overclocking. Thanks for your time...

Also if you use Afterburner goto the settings > profile tab and it has the option to set 2d/3d clocks. I have heard some people use this successfully however I wasn't able to get it to work with my card. If that is the case the guide posted by erocker is the same one I used to set my default...
