Finally got the parts installed after receiving them yesterday. Everything fit perfectly except the EK bolts had to be trimmed for radiator clearance.

Performance wise, max load temps dropped 8C from 60 to 52 on Prime 95 Large FFT tests with E8500 @ 3.8
Idle temps are pretty much the same as my Zalman 9700 @ about 40 C with ambient at 25. Not too sure if the idle temps are accurate.

System runs very silent :) Except when the 4870 mimics a vacuum cleaner at start-up.

Looks nice. The only thing I wouldn't like is that the radiator mount really obstructs the view of your board. Any other place to mount it?

Also, does your GPU get all 16 lanes in the orange slot instead of being in the blue one? Just curious. IDK about Gigabytes Intel boards, but I do know that on the older boards, the orange was only x8 or x4.

Please fill out your system specs when you get a chance. It helps us know what we are looking at.

No, the orange one is 8x only. I have never seen a performance hit while playing my games though. Not too worried about the rad obstructing the view; my panel is solid.

I'll fill out the specs right now. Thanks :)
