I love those northbridge fans (or more the way you attached them), but are they actually cooling or just making a lot of noise

Updated pics with NEW camera!

got a new Nikon D3000 so got some new pics to show off with it.

also planning on building a brand spankin new water cooled system.
i have a pretty good idea of what to buy and what not to buy but would like some opinions on my shopping list for the water cooling parts.
I will have that up in my next post.

i just dont understand why any of these can be classed as mods!? its simply adding in fans which anyone can do. looks nice but nothing new 5/10

if you go back to the first post you will that I painted the interior black and custom mounted fans on the northbridge with aluminum wire. i did a fan in but its nothing new.also i redid the cable management and there is a comparison to old look and the new with pictures.
This is just an updated pictures post



The added pictures were just to show case it a little better with a new camera.

Please look at the the actually Case gallery post and pictures before you comment.

thanks!
