i saw your thread. if i were you i'd get a full tower. once you get one, you'll never go back to mid tower EVER again!

Good parts. How much did they cost altogether? Thinking of upgrading in the next year (hopefully prices will go down a bit, or the 6-cores will be out by then ).

Anyway, the Antec issue is common, got the HAF 932 myself, which I would stick with (talking to the guy who said he wanted a 1200).

That said, your CPU should run just fine eve with OC. The temps being too high could be a few things.

-Paste
-Alignment
-Not enough/too much voltage

Just check those things and it should be good, even without a fan on the heatsink it should run at fairly low temps (not from experience, though, as I'm still not on i7).

Thanks. The parts cost around $1038 CAD including tax.

yeah it sucks..it didn't happened when i had my old LGA775 mobo. =(

the thing is the temps are already high when all the BIOS setting is stock..which is auto. I checked CPU-Z and the Vcore is only 0.952 - 1.112. i think the alignment is fine. i also added 2 washers which is about 2mm thick each and it's really tight

and i got the push/pull set up with kaze 3000rpm pushing it and a 25mm 2000rpm pulling ..

ill probably going to take the 25mm off when i'm going to shift the hsf the other way so i can close the lid

if your side panel is plain, you might hammer it to create a ( ....... but I don't think it will fit anymore... ;P

then you could maintain it and close the vacuum with duck tape but.....

this is a little ghetto
