Well, it does have a radiator, hehe. Are you using the thermal paste that came on the cooler or are you going to use Arctic Silver/etc?

I have a Corsair H50 and I think that has been the most worthwhile upgrade I've had in a long time. Fantastic, silent cooling. I have to give my SSD or the H50, I'd definitely keep the liquid cooling.

Then a almost done pic, it's not much different from this now:

Really happy with it, and the power consumption of both the cards is still not enough to stress my psu. Can't say that with the Nvidia cards. Love these cards.

Looks good man. Was wondering how your new board turned out.

just using the paste that came on it, I'm sure I'll upgrade to artic silver at some point too.

I was just curious but I'm not sure that you'll need to. The Corsaid paste is supposed to be really, really good but there are a fair number of people that switched to AS. I personally stayed with what Corsiar pre-applied and have been extremely happy with the results.

Yeah, once I got it on and overclocked my i7 to 4.1 from 3.1 I've been monitoring my temperatures to make sure it's ok and under load the most i've seen is 55 degrees C. Which is more than fine by me, so I think it's doing its job. Need to start looking at a new case though because I can no longer close this case with the H70

and a bump, just picked this gem up tonight. 240gig not too big, but it'll do the job.

New toy, dad bought it for me cause I help them out with their computer system at his office. Dual band should be plenty for me.
