Installed the temp sensors from the Aquaero to one of the GTX-680's the VRM Heat Sink, in the middle of the case, and in a spot to pick up Ambient.

Learned how to set up a Fan Controller Curve. Pretty awesome.

Fan Profile Info

Montioring the fan controls and tempos buy running Heaven and watching the Fan Curve in action. Good stuff !

After running at 4.7 stable. I decided to try for the big 5.0

Loads and boots and can even load some apps and surf the web, but no OCCT or Intel Burn-in without having temps hit over 100 degrees. Maybe with water cooling but not on AIR.

Here is the video so you can checkout the physical build process and commentary.
