Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
as stated...VERY nice darius. It must be a pain keeping all that clean ;o love the red walls too!
anyways, i just cleaned up my case, so i felt in the mood to do some more cleaning.
i dunno how accurate that thermometer is. i have a fan running at full blast (its right behind my...
I think the fan in the bays helps a lot. It can help circulate the hot air at the top. it pretty much dumps cool air on my hsf so i guess it helps a little. I just keep the door open all the time because it is against the wall so it never gets in the way. props to cooler master for making it...
just spent a few hours cleanen up my case. got the dust out of my hsf, reset cpu and vid card hsf with some fresh as5, redid the cables, and made room for my uv tubes that are comin in in a few days (and finally got the power led working :cool: )
now for pics!
kinda from my view
side...
if you are willing to spend about 30 more dollars get this:

if you can set vdimm to 3.3 volts in your bios (im sure you cant tho cuz its asrock) then this ram will run ddr 500 @ 2-2-2-8, and those are sweet timings.

2-2-2-8 3.3v :O
well, if you havent, open atitool. click settings (bottom right corner) then select temp monitoring from the first drop down at the top. If "measure card temperature" is unchecked, check it. if it is checked, then your card (for some odd reason) doesnt have one (mine does).
edit- just saw...

thats the highest ive gotten it. the load temps were around 55C and i dont like that, so i have it down to like 2.2 now :/ it was so unstable that i could pretty much just run superpi, everything else would crash. and my a64 tweaker is showing the wrong values in that shot. sorry :/

i had it up at 2.7 but the temps just got out of control. 2.2 is fast enough for me, and its the most stable.
