Re: MY MoBo Died or I Killed it
I run a raid max case that already has blue lights in it so it will complement my case well

Re: MY MoBo Died or I Killed it
I found a pic of one mounted on the new MoBo I'm getting !

I took my fan off and turned it around and mounted it to the other side of the cooler so it would draw the heat out and blow it out of the case instead of blowing across the cooler. Doing that lowered my temp about 5 more degrees

Re: MY MoBo Died or I Killed it
That cooler looks the business.. I use a Scythe Samurai on mine as originally the case I was using wasn't very wide. Here's a picture I found of one:



For everyday use it's great even with a 3.2GHz chip but for heavy overclocking it's not really suitable.

Just to add, for the chipset or Northbridge, the orginal heatsink wasn't really cutting it especially once I got the Black Edition... So I invested in a Noctua which does the job very well..



Mind you, just to make sure I added a fan....

Re: MY MoBo Died or I Killed it
I want to add a fan to my case to draw air from the Silent OTES on the back of the Board.

I'll have to check out your pics when I get home, Our firewall at work blocks out a lot of 'em

Re: MY MoBo Died or I Killed it
This is kinda what I'm thinkin' for my "Silent OTES" mounting a 40mm fan to draw the heat out

I don't do photoshop so this is the best that I can do with paint. LOL

Re: MY MoBo Died or I Killed it
Yup that looks like it would work although wouldn't your CPU cooler coupled with a back mounted 120mm fan do the same thing?

Not really B-cuz the back mounted fan and the cpu cooler don't blow air directly on the silent OTES it will be about 3-4 inches to the right of it.
