Did a bit of cleaning up, which is quite hard actually. I need to get me some black sata cables and sleeve the front panel ones.

It turned out that my boot failures were being caused by an OC I left in the BIOS a while back. It was only at 3.6GHz but something's not enabled or disabled because it doesn't work. I was able to disable the floppy drive so it's gone. A CD drive is still showing up though, it's not in device manager to disable. It also turns out that the 100MB "System Reserved" partition has some boot and diagnostic stuff on there. I think I can get rid of it but there's no real reason to.
I read something about enabling "ACHI" mode for the hard drives instead of native IDE mode, or something like that, and that it increases HDD performance. Does anyone know anything about that? |

A virtual drive is usually the extra drive you see in your window. I use daemon tools and alcohol 120 but limit it to 1 drive

Whoops yeah. PowerISO was putting that extra drive there, thanks for the reminder. It was set to emulate one drive at the moment, I disabled it.

But soylent...didn't you say it was a fresh windows 7 install? If so the virtual drive should not have been there unless you installed PowerIso after the fresh Win7 install. |

Looks.... Warm, Fits.
I have the CPU cooler, got a 120mm on it and it's probably the best air cooler i've ever used. Amazing kit. |

Got my 2nd fan for my rear radiator, looks much better. Once the 1090T gets in, I'll put the white tubing on, clean up the loop better and flip the rear radiator. During all of this I realized a much better solution to my water cooling using a Mountain Mods Pedestal: http://www.mountainmods.com/tower-pedestal-p-565.html and I have a 3x120 XSPC RX Radiator on the way. The pump/res combo and XSPC RX120 will also go into the pedestal. The wheels will be removed from the bottom of the Lian-Li and the pedestal will be mounted beneath it, and a simple hole will be cut at the bottom of the case to allow passage of the block(s) and tubing. Then re-mount the wheels under the pedestal. Total cost comes to about $350 which is a bit less than I expected.
![]() Anyways, here it is now. (I can't wait to get my HDD space back!)

Wow that Scythe Ninja Plus is big. Even in your huge (for a mid tower) V3.
