Im finally happy with the overall look and feel
of this build. Always wanted a clear side panel for my
Phantom and I love it.

Pulled the H70 off, popped on the AMD cooler, installed software, made the light green, lost 10c in load and 5c idle.

I don't care who made it. Works damn good.

I got a set, works great at stock. Doesn't overclock very well, but it's damn cheap, so who cares?

Yea, I doubt I will go over stock on the ram, maybe 1866 or somthing if it will take it but more than likely just stock

Way to cover your door intake fan.

Would be nice if the inside was white too.

I personally think a white inside would be too much white. I like the added heatsink on the northbridge area. Now all you need is some more noctua stickers to put on all the fan hubs, and some 40mm noctuas for the northbridge heatsink and you're good to go!

Basically, yep. Different fans though. They are damn loud at full speed, but it still does the job better than the H70 thanks to being ble to ramp up the fanspeed, while the H70 doesn't have PWM fans. The Antec 920 would probably perform just the same though.

Oh I thought the temperature difference he has was from a tweaked design rather than better fans.



Thanks though.

Hey all... Got some new bits today, so I thought I would add pics here

New stuff: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, 8GB DDR3 1600 (Corsair Vengeance), and an MSI 990FXA-GD65 mobo Pretty stoked I ended up with the 1100T, since I ordered a 1090T...

Please note I took the pics while I was still busy building... I will take some "final product" pics later :P

Santa came early this year and dropped a new toy by my door, it's not supposed to come out until the 16th, but I won't tell Creative if you guys don't tell either











I like the PCIe version much better than the USB version, this one is fully surround as opposed to "virtual surround", and it takes full advantage of my speakers

I hope you guys like the new pics
