Yes, it's a very high pitched whine. Remember how CRT monitors sometimes had a whine? It's just an EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE sound like a mosquito makes.

Strapping a second fan into the front drive bays really helps with two things. First, it greatly increases the airflow that your memory gets, especially if you use a tower-style heatpipe cooler that blows to the rear of the case. If you're overclocking your memory, doing this can negate the...

All fans on a 4-pin molex cable is fine. Don't daisychain a bunch of fans of of a motherboard fan header and you'll be ok.

That sounds relatively high for an E8400@3.0 with a Tuniq. What are your ambient temperature (room temperature)? You are still well within safe temperatures, however.

In addition to the fact that you can upgrade to 16Gb of ram with the P45 vs 8Gb with P35.

The second fan is behind the front face, so I assume that it's either ziptied to the drive cage or the OP made some sort of bracket for it. I love this case too!

Wow, you need to reseat that cooler stat.

My old rounded cables worked for both. The nice looking end sheath doesn't actually attach to anything, so it's really a 90 degree angle. The cable/connector junction can be bent, however. They're just like regular flat cables.

Core is actually the GPU core temperature. Check with Rivatuner or something. It's not the Tjunction.

Use soapy water. It helps them slide out easier.

Thank you Galaxy! I'm in.

My IP35 Pro 1.1 chewed through a set of Crucial Ballistix as well. I switched to GSkill and have had no problems for 7 months. I wonder if it's the fault of the motherboard not liking Ballistix or if it's the classic and relatively common case of Ballistix failure.

Try them all. Sometimes you can pass one program but another one fails.

Load that thing up with fans and cut out the stamped metal grills on the top and rear fan slots. Then get a dremel and remove the plastic grilling on the top and front. That'll reduce restriction and improve airflow.

I don't think that it's a reality unless you plan on making a shelf somewhere near an air intake and just setting a large chunk on there letting it cool the air as it comes in. It's way too much trouble to use dry ice directly on a daily basis. I suppose if you had a watercooling setup, you...
