Then of course, theres the mods... all that overclocking produces a heck of a lot of heat... so along with the water cooling system, I also have in the case, 2x 40mm fans 2x 60mm fans (One of which blows air through the radiator) and 3x 92mm fans... building your own system means you know down to the last inch what you can and cannot fit in your case.


U sure all those fans are needed? If thats the case, one would assume your running a Palmino core, cause I have my 2500+ running at 212 x 11 on air with 4 low rpm case fans, system is pretty quiet overall and I am yet to see the diode record above 50°C at 100% utilisation. You might wanna try and pick up a T'bred 1700+, you can get em real cheap now.

@mikeymike

Are you sure your temps are right? Did you drop the vcore at all?

At 3:12AM on friday, whilst feeding my newborn son, the PSU in my rig suffered a "terminal electrical fault" in which one of the lines of molex connectors along the 12V line ignited causing a plume of black acrid smoke to be vented into the room curtesy of the twin 92mm fans sat in the top most 5ins drive bay.


Man that sucks :-(

A while back I worked in a shop that sold off a heap of "Hyena" brand cases, I reckon 8 out of 10 ended up surging the entire system, rendering the entire rig useless, real dodgy, however, being the "honest" business that it was, they neglected to inform the customer of the other mishaps and blamed the power company. Subsequently these people had to shell out for a complete new computer.

Hope it all works out for you.
