    OK Update!! After my H70 blew a connection and spewed all over my mother board I had to wait a few weeks for the RMA and replacements to arrive. I asked for a refund of the H70 and got an Antec 920 (much happier now). So now the system is up and running very quietly. I must say the...

    Kuhler 920 High temps, mounting issue?

    I just installed a 920 on a new build with a 2600k. When I go into the BIOS on first boot I bring up the monitor tab and watch the temperatures rise slowly until I shut down around 36C the fans on the Kuhler are at 640 revs at the time. My main thought is that maybe I have it mounted in the...

    Thanks for the replies, I did make some changes to the order as you will see below, but have not decided on the MB yet. As I am still looking at pro's and con's. Cost is a concern but not a major object as long as I get value for the dollar. I can get a really good deal on the ASUS Maximus IV...

    As I will be ordering today, any other ideas on the Mother Board from any of the educated masses? I understand that the current board choice is pricy and not worth the extra money spent so I would defiantly entertain an alternative if anyone has one. Thanks and have a good day.

    Thanks for the input so far: As for the 2 6970's they seem to drive better than a single 6990 and I will be running 3 U2410's so if I need more umph I will drop one 6970 (give it to my daughter) and put in a 6990 for Tri-fire. The information on the SSD's is well taken, thanks! Sapphire is...

    New PC Order Feedback

    Sounds good about the power, the reason I went with 2 is I have had power issues before and failures before and redundancy is always a good choice with me. As for the quality, it is not as high end on the efficiency but with split power issues I would not think that is as necessary. But I will...
