Oh you'd be surprised at the amount of binge drinking, chain smoking, sleeping-around hoes you get around here....there's roughly 200...and they're mostly 15 :D HOES!!

Quote girl in math class

Me - "If you had ÂŁ1000 what would you spend it on"?

Girl - "Fags and booze"

THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN MATH CLASS!! Then she said she would do lesbian porno for ÂŁ1000 so I got talking about that for a long time...

Tried those cables you sent :D Works very well with the case fans. How can I get one to work with my CPU fan?

Looked all over eBay for something to split my 4 pin CPU fan into a molex...looks like it's gonna be a manual job. What have I got to do?

Plug it in lol remember on your cpu connection it has to groves on the white bit on the end, they have to line up with the groves on the adaptor, remember the blue wire will remain unconnected, that is just for varying the speed, which you wont be doing because you want it running flat out!

lol? Still idle's roughly 46*C with side on...time for a tank cut in the side panel and fit in a 120mm right in front of the CPU fan followed by some AS5. Then I have to work on getting these stupid GPU temps down :D

I would love to hear how loud your rig is now lol, with another 120mm running flat out will make it that little bit louder again!

Just get some as5 now and make sure you clean all the crap off first then you will see the temps drop gradually over 200 hours maybe get another 5*c off!

Anyway im off to my girlfriends so happy temp cooling you postwhore lol

@casheti

take it easy on your cooling stress! OMG. A CPU is very very happy to idle at 40-50C and it will do you no harm. Once the thing begins to really do some work, it will get hotter, and the auto fan will kick in. ITS REALLY NO PROBLEM.

Water cooling is to keep the maximum temperature down to do some overclocking. Although people like quoting their "idle" temps... it really is irrelevant.

REMEMBER THIS: A 30C CPU at 3GHz is NO FASTER than a 40C CPU at 3GHz.

Relax with all this cooling melarky!

REMEMBER THIS POINT #2: An air cooled CPU can never be cooler than the air cooling it! That means you don't need to worry about your CPU idle temps, but you CASE idle temps. And that's why your idle temp is going up with the case on. So make sure you have a decent PSU that sucks air out... and DRILL SOME HOLES in the bottom of the case to let more air be drawn in from the bottom.

You can also have a fan at the back, near the CPU also drawing air out. Make sure the CPU fan is working WITH and NOT AGAINST the case fan!!!! (So many people dont even check this).

There is no need to put fans in the side of the case. It's like getting a sledgehammer to open a screw. Its the wrong tool in the wrong place.
