Thermalright XP-120 (of course), on a naked X2 3800, and a HR-05-SLI.
succesfulerror, when did you get your HR-05-SLI? I want to know who had one first.

Very interesting case

Yeah. That's Lian Li for you.
I've got effectively 3 intake fans and 1 exhaust (the blower fan), but because the case is covered in small holes, I'm fine.
A little piece of cardboard stops the blower fan stealing air from the intake fan underneath.

Isn't it better to have negative air pressure rather than positive?

Yay for stock-ness
Hey, I'm getting average CPU temps of about 36*C, so I'm not complaining! I'd say this is a pretty clean case, too. Looks better than my last build. But those fans were messy...lots of wires to each!

wow, no
positive air pressure makes the Fan's run slower ( since there is more air to move on a smaller space ), so the pc will be a bit more silent. also, the air will always leave the case at some point.. however getting air in could be a problem Edit: the wire management looks much better than in my case =] I still want to pull out my motherboard and put the cables i can behind it

These are some older pics of my case, other than some re-arrangement of some wires though, the my compy has stayed pretty much the same......
Flash off:
Flash on:
I had a closer up picture but I deemed it too blurry for showing......
Even if I wanted to, I don't think I can change out my Northbridge heatsink without either: 1. Some heavy modding, or 2. Taking out the whole mobo......

well... that would depend on how you place the components, no? ( and also on how the Fans are located in the case )
edit: besides... with negative air pressure, there are basicly less molecules to absorb the hear and transport it.. and you cant stop the radiation heat either. from what ive tested so far on my pc, higher air pressure cools better in case ( altough, those fan's cant really do Taht much,.. so its not like it makes a world of a difference )

And how your case is designed. The main thing potential 'hot spot' would be where the optical drives are, and unless you put ten million hard drives there it probably wouldn't be an issue.

Hey, Jet, what kind of PSU you have in that one build? Kinda looks like mine.....
