Also about the temps, I'm not sure if it makes much difference but I've been told you have to let the TiM "Cure", or something like that?

Well, I could also remove the little speaker from the motherboard, but I prefer to get other beeps if something else fails tongue.gif

The packaging of the MX-2 said: "No cure time!"

Is there a way to get rid of this?

Yes, you disable CPU fan in the BIOS.

I already looked at the BIOS... The only thing I can turn off is the Q-control (Some ASUS feature that regulates fan speed)

Also:
My fans are on top of my case for now (smart ass me didn't realize the fans came without screws... They did come with the radiator but I can't get to them for the next few weeks...)
And I noticed that even though they're pushing air down into the rad, a lot of air is actually pushed up through the small space between the fanblades and it's housing. This is probably because the static pressure is too low (as airdeano mentioned) to push the air through the radiator.

Here's a pic of the gap:



But I can easily narrow that gap down by a few mm by putting in some tape!
I figured by doing so less air can flow back, thus more will be pushed through the rad.
I also figured though that it'd put more strain on the fan's motor... Now I'm hoping the motor doesn't kill itself because of it. Any ideas?

Your pic is a little confusing. What size rad and what size fans do you have?

I think you've misunderstood.
I'm talking purely about the fans now. There are a few mm of empty space between the actual fanblades, and the housing of the fan. (Marked in red on the picture)
I could decrease this space by taping in the housing, so that there's less clearance between it and the fanblades, leaving less room for air to get out!

Here's a better picture:

As someone else said they have low static pressure and that gap is a major cause of that. I have a feeling your temps will lower whenever you can actually mount the fans to the rad. I would also advise remount the CPU block just to be sure. Notice how the TIM looks when you pull the block off to make sure your technique worked the first time.

Also, with those fans, be very very careful mounting to the rad. The screws that have come with the radiator will be for 25mm fans and you may need to trim or replace them to avoid puncturing the radiator due to the thinner fans!

So there are no fans physically mounted to the rad? Just sitting on top of the case?

Alright I'll take a look in the next few days.

Thanks for the warning! I wouldn't have thought of that for sure!

That's correct. Is this problematic? I never thought it'd make a difference.

Are you running push or pull? Maybe try pull setup as pull works better for low speed/low pressure fans.

Oh and to get rid of the beeping connect the pump tach wire to the CPU fan header. Also gives a bit of warning if your pump dies.
