how did you make the mounts for the fans? are they self fabricated? or some type of bolt on part?
cheers

Hey thanks for the post,
Follow the HAF links in my sig, one of them you'll see close ups of how i zip tied the fans to threaded rob, that's pretty much as simple as it gets. For the top of the case the 2 threaded rods come down through the triple 120 fans holes, for the bottom i had to drill 2 additional holes so the rods would stand vertical.
All in all this was a very cheap mod, the rods cost me a few buck at my local HomeDepot and the zip ties.

should i use the same with my phenom 965?

Okay this is where the geeks come out to talk.
My H-50 is cooling my i7 overclock at 4.00ghZ. My vCore is now at 1.8750v since all lower voltages failed stress tests. Do these tests really matter? YES! I am studying design so i often render CAD files and the software i use maxes out ALL your cores and ALL your threads. So last night i stepped my voltages up to 1.8750v because at 1.2650 i got the bsod.
Now for temps... my idle temps range from 36-40 degrees, my load temps max out from 65-69 degrees (the variation is due to my ambient temps changing during the day and night). Since i only max out my cpu 100% when i render for a few hours here and there i would say the H-50 can safely hold this overclock with these voltages. I am not familiar with your cpu model so i can't give you advice there, but know that an i7 can hold a 4.00ghZ oc with an H-50, but borderline. If my vCore of 1.8750v fails i move to 1.3000v which would drive my temps up a little more.
Hope this helps, let me know.
*EDIT 1.8750v failed, i'm up to 1.300v on my vCore and idel temps 38-41.
