Not fair man. You got power beyond everyone else here and ensured that 10,000th post would be yours. This should be an infraction.

Please don't strike me down, I believe in you

Pfff, you're treating it as though I planned this in advance. I didn't even realize how close it was until 10 minutes prior and there were 3 posts left

Infraction? You've got the wrong guy, I was crucified and died for people's sins. You're looking for TheMailMan, he's the banstick dummy.

Zalman CNPS10X PERFORMA

New Zalman CNPS10X PERFORMA CPU cooler to replace the Xigmatek. Now I no longer see 100 degrees C on a 4GHz overclock. Tops out at 80 which cannot be bad for this furnace of a room.

Looks good so far, any reason you don't have exhaust fans on top? Looks like they should fit in there fine...

Maybe they have no impact? When I had my CM690, the top fans made a 1-2c difference at most

It's a GTX 275 with an Accelero Xtreme GTX Pro. Made a 40C temp drop on load and whisper quiet. Pain in the a*** to set up though. System specs shows my main computer which does have a 4870X2, this new one is only for crunching/folding. Wondering if it's worth buying the same cooler for that card too now

Thx guys
About the fans; I have had some there but noise and vibration was a bit much. Hopefully would get some quality quiet fans later on.

I finally installed my H50 into the V3 case, it might not perform the best but it will work.
----------------------

So I go to my local hardware store and they don't have any 6/32" screws longer the 2 inchs, so I got long super long threaded stick and cut the size I needed for this project.




Yes I know, I probably should have cut the grill out for better airflow blah blah blah, but I might want to sell this case in the future and I didn't want to decrease those chances by gutting it.






I'm glad the fan wires were able to squeeze behind the panel without any modding.






And there you have it! now it looks like a chimney poking out the top of my computer.

Why not just put it in the back spot and move the blue LED fan to one of the top areas?

Well this was discussed a few posts back, the rad wont fit on the back...and as you can see it barely fits on top. I would have to remove the rad to add more ram
