    Q6600 meets Thermalright Extreme PICS!!

    Ack, I wish this thread was started a week ago. I think I'm not going to bother opening my 680i. I know for a fact that I'm keeping my case, because I like it a lot more than any of my components. And hey, it's not Lian-Li's fault that the CPU is placed so far on the edge here. Guess I'll just...

    No worries! Looking forward to seeing your results :)

    Q6600 meets Thermalright Extreme PICS!!

    It would almost certainly work, if you just need enough extra clearance for the clips. However, when Crysis comes out and you wanna add another GTX to pump pixels to your 30" monitor, you might regret it :) That was one of the main reasons I bought the 680i board instead of the P35 (I've got...

    Q6600 meets Thermalright Extreme PICS!!

    Looking at the clip mechanism, I don't think there would be any ghettoness factor in just bending the clip around the top. It's not going to lose so much strength that it can't hold the fan on. It would be easier to experiment if they threw in a couple of extra clips, eh? :)

    Q6600 meets Thermalright Extreme PICS!!

    Wait, so it's just the clips that don't fit? If it couldn't be bent, I'm sure it could be zip-tied or something. Not like that's ghetto or anything :P

    LIAN-LI V Cool PC-V1200BPLUSII question

    Sorry, but I'm going to raise them again -- your 680i board's CPU slot is MUCH closer to the edge than the Commando board. Thus, the possibility of the Ultra 120 not fitting are unfortunately quite real. See the link to the other thread I posted before. I am getting my eVGA 680i board...

    Eeeeeghhh, actually he's got a better CPU position on his board. Crap. vs.

    LIAN-LI V Cool PC-V1200BPLUSII question

    Sorry to hijack here, but I'd love some pics of this configuration :)

    LIAN-LI V Cool PC-V1200BPLUSII question

    AFAIK, the 680i boards have just one IDE connector. So, your hard drive will have to share a cable with your DVD drive. That's sub-optimal to begin with, but with this case it's just not going to reach because the hard drives are pretty far away from the optical drive (maybe if you positioned...

    LIAN-LI V Cool PC-V1200BPLUSII question

    That's great to hear, since I have the PC-V1200BPlusII (absolutely stunning case, btw) and the Ultra 120 Xtreme (waiting on CPU before mounting). I was just reading this thread[1], though, and it seems to imply that it won't fit (this is on a 2000, but seems like the same size on the mobo tray)...

    Q6600 meets Thermalright Extreme PICS!!

    It's actually pretty good, in general, I got great temps with that case on another build. The rear fan is basically dedicated to exhausting heat from the CPU. With a stock HSF, you would use their air duct to channel it directly towards that rear fan. The side fan is essentially equivalent to...

    Q6600 meets Thermalright Extreme PICS!!

    Wow, great pics. You've got me a bit (actually, a lot) concerned about the clearance when running this cooler in my own case (waiting on other components), a PC-V1200. If the CPU on the eVGA 680i is perfectly positioned in the center of where Lian-Li placed the CPU air duct on the case, it...

    Where is the love for the X3220?

    I'm in the "waiting for the G0 Q6600" camp, but browsing around I'm starting to see the price dropped X3220 (Xeon Quad @ 2.4Ghz). At Newegg.com, for example, the Xeon chip is running $20 under the Q6600 price. Now, looking at each chip's B3 specs, they are practically identical. But, as...

    Current batches of Ultra-120 Extremes

    I just got mine from Coolerguys.com yesterday. It was visually flat, and the water test passed as perfectly as I could imagine it ... it could not have spread more evenly. I don't plan on lapping.
