Ok guys! got the new heatsinks and the NB cooler i had to modify cause it was hitting three caps that were above the NB chip. I cut the HS and got it mounted good in there and added a small 40mm fan. the SB heatsink was a perfect fit and no mod needed! its ready to rock! ALSO flipped my fans around to see if i get better airflow






This was the PC idling in the bios for about 15-20 minutes so its running pretty cool

Was cleaning out my filters today and noticed this....





It's the fan that came with my case, so it's not that big of a deal. Guess I need to add a fan or two to my next newegg order.

just disable the other Led adjacent from that one. Dual-leds would probably look pretty cool

you could just replace the LED, with a soldering iron, and only a little amount of time used (if it isnt molded into the frame)
you could even change the color this way!

Eh, I wanted to replace the front two fans with ones that had higher CFM anyways, plus the one above it has a LED that's more Blue-purple for some reason. It came with my new case side and I didn't notice until recently.

I've heard good things about CoolerMaster R4's, and I was impressed with the Apevia LED fans I had in the last build

I have two of the R4's already. I like them a lot, and intend to replace my two front fans with them.
