Emersonsc, nice results

After you clean up the cables I bet you'll improve the airflow and perhaps maybe your full load temps may go down a bit as well.

Good luck

nice setup and nice temps, I am getting around 39C Load and 13C idle on my setup right now with a dual core and my window open all the way with me in a winter coat and gloves trying to play crysis.

yep, lol getting frostbite to get my temps a few degrees cooler, I do like the computer there only because I can bench my processor at 1.8v and still have load temps under 55C

Thanks everyone for the comments and thx for the rep!

I currently working on getting all the fan wires hidden and wrapped up in that plastic stuff that wiring harnesses are wrapped in.

Word of advice. USE THE 7V ADAPTERS!!! The two fans that come with the kit have normal 12v plugs, then 7v and 5v adapters. Well i hooked the fans up using the 12v to the mobo... I thought a jumbo jet was landing in my room. The 7v makes them push enough air and keeps it at the same temps as the 12v turbo jet engine speeds.

Oh, and Gorilla glue sucks haha

UPDATE

I got the wiring under controll.



Is it possible to put in resistors backwards? I did some cleaning and soldiering to make everything neat with limited connections i snipped the resistors off of my 7v adapters for the front fans and soldered them in-line and now they arent working...

resistors don't have a + or - side, so as long as you soldered them back in correctly, they should work (unless you used WAY WAY WAY too much heat and burned them, but I doubt you did that)
