Description
This is my journal update... in Art submission form...
So I wasn't really too impressed with the cooling, and I was researching online, I found out that some people had troubles installing their coolers because of the capacitors... exactly what happened to mine! So I installed it right side up.
So if you get this cooler, Make sure its facing up, like how mine is now... better yet get a cooler like the Antec Kuhler series, they're able to be in any direction you put them in.
I've done a push pull as you can see, the one thats hiding is a 1900 RPM scythe fan for pulling, and the Corsair h60's fan is the pusher, and all are exhausted by the top 120 mm fan (which looks like it will be in the way of the tubes, but isn't.
Temps are actually good... idling is at 28-32C, but when running the intel stress test, it only went to 44C, Water coolers are awesome... I'll probably standardize on them lol.
If I over-clock this bad boy, its probably only going to be a 3.5Ghz, or 3.6Ghz, we'll see.
alright thats it for this "art" journal entry... XD ...

Same cooler as I use myself! I had it in PnP for a longer while with two Schyte Gentle Typhoon 1450 RPM fans, but as I watched a video from LinusTechTips about 1 fan vs PnP on YouTube I decided to experiment and remove the fan on the right side of the radiator, and that made a BIG difference in soundlevel, but no noticable temperature changes!

oh nice! I actually use an Antec Kuhler h2o 620 now though. running in push pull with cougar vortex fans... my absolute favorites btw

Not bad looking ones indeed, certainly better than the GTs... Grey. Though, not as 'neutral', wouldnt be so good to suddenly get a green or blue system with those!

Β they make both and blue LED fans of those now. so wouldn't be an issue I wouldn't think

Well yeah, but then you got to buy a new pair as supposed to using the ones you already have, thats what I meant.
