just got the liquid cooling setup, running into a few issues how ever. the X58 chipset & ICH10R get sweltering hot the NB is hovering around 66c with a low profile HS yanked off a socket A cpu and the SB is even hotter (burns my finger to the touch) might have to get a few enzotech copper heatsinks & another couple of 40mm fans so i can start overclocking.

Actually, this radiator was designed for a low speed fan & its very dense as you can probably make out from the one picture, it keeps everything nice and cool, hitting about 52C while gaming on the video card & 45c on the cpu so theres still quite a bit of room even for overclocking

and i absolutely love the monsoon fittings, they're sexy looking the only gripe i have about them is its way easy to over tighten them and have them slip right off the threading

Saz if you ever want to get rid of that old server tower let me know! Best damn case's ever made IMHO That one and the mid/full tower version (slightly smaller, same design) could be made into anything! And still be able to hold up a house, best damn case's i miss them dearly
