Finally I got my rig built tested primed and all the heavy duty tests were done.
the computer didnt fail in any, but I still want to know if I got this right.

(didn't save pictures of the prime testing and so on ><" forgot)

Anyway I listened to the guys here about OC , soI didn't want to pass the 1.35v core voltage so I tweaked and got this:
i5 2500k@ 4.5ghz

I am trying with the Asus AI suite II to control my H80 fans, but they seem to ignore me and stay on 2000-2100 RPM.
I am not sure if to be happy with results or not, when I played Heroes of Newerth Highest settings GPU reached 50c(21% fan) and CPU reached 57-60.
I thought the h80 would get better results :(

here is a picture of the inside of the case:

I have 2 1850 gentle tyhpoons , all i think i need to do is open bot panels of case remove angled fan, remove bottom fan, put typhoon, remove h80 , put typhoon, connect h80 , connect typhoons to motherboard(good idea?)

anyway what do you think?

Thanks!

1. DO NOT let anything control the fans on the H80 except the controller on the H80 heatsink. it will automatically ramp the fan up when its needed. let alone the fact that i would never trust asus AI suite II to control anything.

2. your temps are perfectly normal and are actually low. if your cpu had hit 70C you would of started to the see the fans ramp up.
 
Just played crysis 2 on 1920x1080 res super fun, my h80 didn't ramp up and i saw my cpu reach 60-65 degrees, and gpu maxed 75C but pushed the fans abit higher 22% and reached a stable 56-62c.

after closing the game, temps on GPU returned to 36, cpu 39-42(after I opened panel and noticed the button on the H80, i clicked it to max (alot of noise) but temps went down quickly like 3 mins from 60-65 - to stable 39-44, so I guess my fears are for nothing since when needed the controller will move the fans to max and I will be fine.

I will keep on testing this rig, I think there is no need to change the h80 fans currently since they are doing a good job :).
 
yeah your temps are just to low for it to ramp up the fans. either way its not really worth worrying about given that the max temp is 100C. if it had been hitting 80-85C and not ramping the fans up then yeah i'd be worried.
