I have some water cooling parts (res, fittings, tubbing, etc..) coming from Performance-pcs.com. I have decided to stay with my current rig as it still performs at a high level. I will post some pics when time allows. Being recently married, working full-time and coaching high school volleyball has left me little time (and money) for the things I really enjoy
![]() I also purchased two OCZ Vertex 4 256 GB SSD's to install... Not sure whether to place them in a Raid 0, or just leave them independent. I have read/heard that with SSD's you do not see that much gain from a RAID array. Last edited by HammerON; Sep 27, 2012 at 04:55 PM. |

![]() Can you not get the front panel/USB/etc wires up behind/under the MoBo more? Is there no room behind the MoBo tray or sidepanel? If the HSF wires are long enough could you run them up to the top, across the cage then to the controller? I'm assuming there is a controller based on what I see

When I head home from college for fall break I'm setting up my parents with a new system (AMD X4 965BE) to replace the C2D I built for them a few years back:
![]() I have a Biostar 880GZ board, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB HDD. I'll be re-using the old case and Corsair VX450w PSU. I have it crunching right now as a stress test

Same thing happened to me with a socket 478. The paste was so strong that it came off with the heatsink and broke a cpu pin inside the pin socket. No way to se it then i installed back the cpu and it blowed the board.

I did the exact same thing as you, except I spent $30 buying a new CPU

Anyway, part of the reason I switched to WC is because of RAM clearance (planning to get some Vengeances later).

Well, yeah, I game with headphones so it's not like it disturbs me either
but you can certainly hear the turbulence from the air going through the fins. It's the loudest on my system ATM but not by much.
