Have you tried the new side fan as an exhaust instead of intake?

No I haven't. Someone else suggested this on this thread, so I'm probably going to try it. Thanks!

EDIT: Well, switching my side panel fan to an exhaust fan didn't have any effect on temps, either.

Well today I lowered my ram timings to 2.5-3-3-6 and tried it at 1T and it worked! Instead of the default 3-3-3-8 I had before.

Here's a comparison of my old ram timings at 2t, and the new ram timings at 1t!

As you have found, some RAM is fussy about the timings.
Tight timings with AMD are a good thing

Yes I can see that now, lol. Can you tell me how it calculates the DRAM Idle timer? Mine is currently at 16 clocks and I find that high, what would be a way to lower it (should I even lower it?)?

Thanks
