My rig in the sig is down right now. After a routine checkup last week I realized that the chipset fan was having some issues with being louder than usual. So over the weekend I come back and its shutdown! Uh oh... Power back up with no problem other than the fan squealing the whole time. Open up smartgardian and the fan is spinning at all of about 175rpms yet making an AWFUL noise. So, the boxen is going in for an organ transplant this evening. To make this proces easier I purchased an aerocool coolview case and a VGA waterblock along with an evercool copper chipset fan. The old case is a bitch to work in now that I have watercooling in it. So cramped that I have to remove the radiator to get the mobo out. A MAJOR pain that I've not wanted to do until now. So hopefully tomorrow I'll be back up and running full speed.

Well after many LONG and painful hours, 2 cuts from a sharp corner, and about 40 wire ties, its back up and running! Whew, that took forever! But the temps look great and its even quieter than before with a slower running chipset fan and a gpu block.
