Solid build & clean,, did you buy the dark knight fan or take it from the HSF, I'm looking for them.

Thx! I got 1 of those fans from my "old" Dark Knight. The other one i got from a friend who changed it for other fan with blue leds. I really like this fan, looks cool and has a good static pressure for a 120mm model (4.1 mmH2O max).

Bummer,, I wish someone would make a all black translucent fan with white leds.

I voted 1/10 because:

not impressive.
by Howard (August 14th - 2:52 AM) - Reply
maybe not too impressive, but ain't that bad either, so i think worth more than 1/10..
for justice's sake! i'd say 8/10
overclocking effort made it's efficient and what i been looking for is low-voltage OC, that's awesome! and all black color setup! WC will be great, just a suggestion though!
check out my RIG bro!

Thx man, i was thinking about moving to a wc setup, especially for my gtx 295 since its a hot card and very loud using the stock cooling when gaming. And probably with a wc setup i could go beyond 3.80 with good temps. I can reach 4.0Ghz but i don't like to get my temps over 70c when stressing.

I looked on your case, very nice job, very clean (cable management is a pain to do isn't? :p). The blue tubes looks great on your case. Nice hardware too :)

@MTT yep, it was total pain! took me 2hrs to arrange those cables..
for OC, IMHO any OC beyond 45'c idle is not worth it!
WC is to protect your hardwares, not killin' it..

good luck with ur WC project bru!

Hey thx :). Yeah i love the looks of the fortress too. Right now i'm waiting Silverstone to start selling the new 180mm blue led fans. I saw some pictures before, and really liked.

Just looked at your rig, very nice! Very clean, and that Thor Hammer looks very cool :) It's pretty big isn't? Those rams have leds? They look nice :)

Yeah its a hammer alright. Its big and damn heavy. Black Dragons, awesome RAM! They just don't overclock how I want them to tho.
