Sucks that I got 1 RAM error. It isnt giving me to much problems but at times it shows itself by hanging up my PC. For the moment I'm not gonna RMA it since I dont have a clear indication if its my RAM, CPU or motherboard that is giving that error.

Pretty nice man. Is that a 690 Case? Putting a fan on that bottom intake really helps with temps.

Click to expand...

Its a HAF 922, putting the bottom fan on, unless you make the front one slow, for some reason makes my graphics card run hotter, I don't use mine.

Exactly, I had the old 120mm from my Aerocool on the bottom for a while, but the massive air displacement the 200mm front fan makes renders it useless. Its air hardly even reaches the memory heatsink of my bottom card.

All it contributes too is adding to the dust build up in my case.

I'm thinking of going for a ibig tower case, because the bottom card has very little room to breath. Do any of you have any recommendations below €150 / $180-200?

On the subject of Dust, the bottom dust filter and plastic frame off a CM690 fits the HAF922, I run mine with just the plastic bit and filter (and no fan) in there, also helps route cables as it has guides attached to it.

I want to find a Lian Li Armorsuit, like this the PC60 Variant, bit hard to find though,

Not sure of price, were about £150 or 180 or so Euros some times back.
