where did you stuff the radiator?
 
The RAd is on top of the box, comes stock like that on all Koolance PC cases.

ah yes, totally forgot about that :) how are the temps? I'm assuming you're using the dpi533 from the fsb?

Yes, I am using the IWill DPI533-SATA. The downside of the IWill is the temp monitoring sux. This is a known issue and IWill seems to be doing little to remedy the situation. Even when I run my CPU's at 3.6Ghz for hours the BIOS reports the temps under 100f, just not possible. At a guess based on my other duallies and the exhause temps I'd say the run about 51~53c under load.
 
Well, I can only say for the Xeons as I don't have a dual Opteron rig, yet... ;) I've a pair of 2.4GHz 400MHz doing 3.06GHz (23x133) and a pair of 2.2GHz 400MHz doing 2.93GHz (22x133). Both of them are using Iwill's DPI533. My other pair of 2.4GHz 533MHz are using a Supermicro X5DAL-G which can't be adjusted... I'm thinking of moving my pair of 2.2GHz 400MHz over to the Supermicro and see how far I can push the pair of 2.4GHz 533 on the Iwill... ;)
