the fan has two 3 pin connectors (one of which only has two wires and goes to a connector leading from the front panel). The other goes to the mobo fan header. The lights can be turned on and off using the light button on the front panel.

Hi, Just wondering, what sort of fans do I need, in order for them to be controlled via speedfan? Is a fan that includes a speed monitoring cable enough?

Does anyone know how to keep the LEDs in the front fan of this case on, without pluggin it into the light button on the front panel? Thanks

Forceman, just wondering , what temps (and what ambients) are you getting with 1.4v?

P.S. I had mine at 4.5 Ghz wiht 1.33v and I get 72 load temps as well (prime 95 small FFT). Dropped the voltage back to 1.23 and its now 62 or so (1.33v was just the initial test). my cooler is not as good as yours though. - Zalman performa And I'm not totally sure my temps are normal either

70 degree room? That's farenheit right? You're confusing me with posting celcius for the load temp

I'm thinking about overclocking my gtx 570. Just wondering, is it possible to kill it by just changing shader and memory freqs without touching voltage?

Thanks. Now I know the PSU won't blow up if I do it! lol The proprietary PSU does get on my nerves. It's almost 3 years old now, and after a couple of years it's probably a good idea to get something newer for reliability (then I'd need to change my case :( ) I've heard tthat someone...

Well I've got a 1000W PSU from Dell. apparently it has 5 12V rails rated at 18A each I also have two sets of 6pin power connectors/plugs for GPUs. I'm presuming that each set is linked to a separate rail (or is it that each plug has its own rail)? Anyway I've got a gtx 570 that seems to...

Well I'm running the ram now at 1600, but mannually set the voltage to 1.55 even though they are rated at 1.65. 50 runs of IBT and they seem stable, but will monitor it a bit longer. Didn't change the volts to the IMC so temps seem unaffected for the CPU. Sure enough the benchies have...

Well at idle the lowest core is 34 and the hottest one is 39/40. This is with 27 ambients Fan is set to 50% though Btw, cores 2&3 are always about 5-10 degs hotter that core 1 adn core 4 is somewhere in between - I hear this is normal for sandybridge?

Here's my situation: I have a ms p67 gd55 mobo and runs ram at 1333 default. My ram (2 sticks of 2 GB) are Corsair XMS 1600s My CPU (SB 2600K) is OC'd to 4.5Ghz I'm wondering, what are the pros and cons of running the memory at a the higher rated speed? And how do I go about doing...

Thanks Sounds like the thing to go for.. problem is, they don't seem to sell it "everywhere" in Australia :( I need to look around a bit.

Just wondering, what should I use to wipe off the thermal paste on a CPU/heatsink? I see special bottles of stuff they sell at the computer shops, but I hear some people just use some sort of alcohol from the local supermarket. What sort of alcohols should I be looking at, if I don't...

ZM-STG2M The stuff that came with the heat sink
