@ firestorm.

Dude , not really jacking your thread , as next week this time i will have a rig to post.

Daft question, what kind of thermal performance can i expect ? Im currently idling 29-32 and maxing @ aroung 50 C. Will there be a noteworty increase in performance ?
wahahaha im getting those same temps @ 3.6ghz... but still running the ultra in... will be posting pics in the next few min.... *edit* photobucket is sooo sloooowwww...

Dude what are your load temps ?

@ 3.6 ghz im running full load under prime95 small fft test @ 42 degrees and the fans on the wc raddy are running at their lowest rpm

Eish I hate hanging the radiator outside of the case

EDIT: double post

Awesome case

The ASUS and Intel stickers on the front absolutely ruin it for me though

EDIT: OMW thanks Sean, only saw the raddy now. Mike, that case is SO big, why did you keep the raddy outside?

MadMike · Post by **MadMike** » 14 Apr 2008, 08:15

DAE_JA_VOO, to be honest I dont have the patience to try fit the thing inside the case. Was going to mount it in the front where the green led 120 is but just went for the easiest option

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 14 Apr 2008, 08:20

Aah come one Mike. Some effort man, some effort. Have you any idea how much better that machine of yours would look if that raddy wasn't hanging off the back?

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 14 Apr 2008, 08:30

ye, man mount it on the bottom of the case! There where that mesh is, it will go there no problem.

Nice Mike, looking good, i agree with Skidd. mount that raddy on the bottom...

but otherwise looking good dude

Guys , I decided against buying the kit. Did some heavy testing over the weekend. My load temps running everest stability for 3 hours is 44C. I cant seem to get my CPU running anywhere higher than 3.5 so its seems redundant.

agreed DAE, i wished i had the space to put it inside my case... lol

1302 - There is one later version I think , but it just adds 45nm support. I had it running 3.6 on an older version though. I'll invest in WC ( Import ) with my next upgrade in December.

Enjoy.

Well, if you can't fit it in there, wait for your TJ07

You could probably fit 10 radiators in that case

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 14 Apr 2008, 09:01

Ye that TJ07, 2 trip rads plus 2 double rads will fit easy.
