Big bucks no whammies!

With the Scythe Kama fan on the Asetek cooler set to Low or Mid Mode in the bios it is EXTREMELY quiet...I highly recommend it!

Ran Prime overnight (@ stock and w/fan set to MID mode in bios) and my cpu temps never exceeded 52c. This bios mod sounds intriguing! May give it a shot this weekend...

I can also confirm that the bios is reporting cpu temps 20c higher than what's reported in Windows (CoreTemp) for me. Maybe Shuttle will release a fix via bios revision in the future?

Omitted the drive carriage altogether as I'm not using a DVD drive in my build. I was able to mount the 2.5" to 3.5" bracket that came with the Corsair SSD to the holes behind the front panel. No drilling necessary...the holes line up perfectly:

Just curious if you have received / installed the Asetek cooler in your build? Aside from hearing a loud whoosh of water flowing through the tubes for a couple seconds the very first time I powered it up, I can't hear any noise from the pump in mine...My temps are extremely low so I assume...

I've been itching to start a new build...a pair of these would be the perfect start!!!
