Oh no worries, Thank you for your input. This situation is actually with the side door off, so its really best possible situation for the cooling intake. Radiators are all freshly blown out in last few weeks, but were not that dusty even before cleaning. Only use a dust filter on front...

You are correct. I dont have an exact measurement for the air coming in through the front rad, but I would say its not even remotely hot.

Had this current custom loop set up for a bit over a year now I think, but only recently was able to get a coolant temperature probe installed. CPU and GPU temps had been what I thought to be good ( 40-50c cpu / 60c gpu ) during gaming, but my coolant temp gets to 52c during gaming. From...

Thanks. I was thinking there wasnt many option for glossy, and i think that this is proving it. Thank you for your suggestions. Probably not going to try any kind of monitor lottery, I am just not that lucky. I have heard that some of the anit-glare that is used these days is as sever as it has...

2k as in 2560 x 1440, I have seen, and like the dell series glossy monitors, but for the higher res, i think they get well about $500 for dell.

I am looking for some recommendations for a glossy 2k monitor under $500. It seems to be a hard criteria to search for, as its not always stated in the monitor specifications. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Been solid so far..."knock on wood"

Ya, it may be, but it was cheap, so it fit for what I could do at the time. In hindsight, wish I would have waited for something better

Nope, just had a spare key laying around, didn't want to spend any funds on win 7 if I didn't have to.

Well, I made some progress on the system. I ran memtest several times through on the default memory settings, then when upclocked to 825, and even with the slight overclock it was stable with no errors I found that if I selected ahci it would cause a bsod at the windows loading screen. I...

I will try to test out the memory and some of the other suggestions after work this weekend, don't want system messed up while I don't have time or access to fix it, this system is my work gaming "laptop"

I thought the board would be able to get me to atleast 4ghz from what I had read. So you maybe right. The settings I used just off the top of my head would have been something like 21x multi, 160 blck, 1.25v cpu, 1.81 pll, 1.52v dram, spread spec off, speedstep off, I did however leave vtt...

Hello, A lot to read, sorry! Not sure if I have an issue or not, but I have been overclocking my systems for a number of years now. Had good success with my old 775 system, running a e8400 and x3330 @ 4ghz and as much success with my current 1366 rig. In all those years I might have corrupted...

Ya, I am sure I dont "need" the extra pumping, it was more just, its here, why not use it, kind of situation.

Had a idea to boost my XSPC x2o 750 v4 flow/pressure with a maxi jet 900 aquarium pump I had laying around. I don't have the budget right now for a legitimate pc cooling pump, so I was hoping to maybe get a bit of a boost in performance from this "free" upgrade. My system will be raystorm block...
