Our cases are the same metal, just a led fan and mesh front. What CPU heatsink is that? I want to get one for mine but space was a concern.
LED fan never even got powered up, swapped it out for a better fan with no LED. I don't use molex fans anyway just off the fan headers on the board.
Thermaltake Silent. Most people don't like push pins but I don't mind them, it's a great cooler for I3's and newer socket 1155 I5's (ran hot with 1156 I5's).
I run my I5 3450s at 3.6ghz 1.05v, idles at 30c and loads to 55c on this tiny cooler. So I'm happy.
Looks massive on that mATX board in that case.A great choice though!
Interesting design though, never seen a card where the PCI Express power connectors are not at the very edge/end of the card or even on the rear of the card.
How many graphics cards have you been through since the beginning of the year?Didn't you have a 580 and then a 460 2Win at some point?
Thats because the PCB stops there. The heatsink shroud is far longer than the PCB.
From just january of this year? Hmm, well I know for sure I've had a gtx 460 768mb, gtx 560 Ti, gtx 580, gtx 460 2win, gtx 295 single PCB, and gtx 480 in there for sure....and now the 670 of course. I'd have to think longer there may have been more. Hard to keep track.
