my first case mod idea

[D1337]

i have Patriot eXtreme Peformance PC 9200 1150MHz but i have to have it at 533MHz and man im using 60% RAM right now.... vista ftl when it comes to RAM.

And im saving up for a new x38 of X48 motherboard personaly, AND DDR3 RAM and well when it comes out a new NVIDIA GFX card... waiting for new series... and in the long future a new Yorkfield (my quad core is just fine ATM)

and i did the measurements and the ones that were flush were 1/4" i think and the other ones were 5/16" not sure if i did the measurements correctly...

and is it possible to talk to either of you one AIM, MSN or Yahoo IM?

Vista pre-cache's ram depending on what programs you use the most, which dramatically boosts your initial loading of a frequently used executable or .dll

I have 4 gigs and it will use about 40% of my ram when im Idling, if i take 2 stick out it will slightly increase to 55%.

When your running out of memory, Vista will allocate it to the proper application.

well i was playing some games with some temp monitoring software and i was a little disapointed with some of my temps.

I am getting about max case temp of about 37C, idle CPU of 47C and load about 60C, then again thats not under complete load seeing as i dont know a game that can even push that cpu, and my GPU is getting 51 idle and max of about 71C under load, not that any of this is particularily high its just if im ever going to overclock i should look into imporved cooling.

so i was thinking of getting 3-4 of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835129244 ( rear exhaust and 2 frontal intake and possible side intake to cool down GPUs)

1 of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835129247 (for the top exhaust)

x1 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835129046 (rear exhaust)

i would get yate loons instead, there cheaper and have better cfm. also your first link doesn't work. as for the heatsink i would get the TRUE 120 if your case can fit it, otherwise i believe thats a good heatsink, not sure though, fine some reviews.

[Chewy_Solo]

fixed the link, for some reason it was missing a / so i just added it

and the late yoon fans arent LED atleast for the high CFM ones, and are pretty loud compared to the ones i chose

nothing came up for "true 120" if your talking about the Tower 120 by Tuniq, some of the reviews say it will hit my exhaust fan in the Armor case, and so i dont want it to restrict the airflow too much

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835119066 also thinking of getting one of those and putting it under my GFX card, and then spray painting it black and UV blue xD

and i wish they had a type of spray paint that would be extremely conductive so i could spray that heatsink, it kinda looks like crap, but i think ill go with this instead for the heatsink http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118019

yate loons do have there highest CFM fan in a clear led format here

but they are louder, so go with which ever. i believe aerocool makes good fans.

TRUE 120 is Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme, the best air cooler on the market so far. NOTE: you will need a fan for it if you buy it. and if you really don't mind noise and what some insane cooling you can pick up 2 of these babies. 220CFM! but there $50 each.

[Chewy_Solo]

i think i may stick with the fans i have due too noise level, and 220 cfm.... DAMN, a little bulky... like way bulky, and for that price and noise level, i dunno, and i dont see where the fan would go on the True 120... dont see da place D:

[Chewy_Solo]

here is what the fan setup is gonna be like, im probably gonna position the fan on the side up a bit more and maybe use mesh to secure it

[Chewy_Solo]

fans for the thermalright Ultra 120 extreme http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185060 x2 paint with the UV paint, and the school will be paying for all but the heatsink and fan on this project
