Oh wifey would have a fit then seeing the green light lol I can raise it up but I don't want to raise an open lip hahaha

Hmm, get a piece of black tape and cover the light or a new wife.

People walking, chairs moving, vacuuming, all create a lot more dust at lower levels where your fans are.

Yeah, I have already found that out. I can definitely tell the CPU is hindered by the small fan. I plan to buy one for Christmas hopefully.

If you plan to overclock that beast, save your money and get a good one.

Might I suggest a sealed water system, so many good ones out it really all depends on the case and available mounts which you have a great 240mm option in the top and of course the 120mm out the rear of the case. Check out my systems

pictures for ideas.

Great 'puter Alan. I was really surprised at the difference the Seasonic made over my old Antec (the Antec was after all a Seasonic under the covers). No more whine and quiet as can be.

Speaking of Antec and quiet, I added an Antec TrueQuiet Pro 120mm fan to the front of the case. It is pretty quiet at 600 rpm but at 1200 it has a definite audible tone. For the advertising claims and the price, all I should hear at 1200 rpm is the air

Gene, they want to know where you got the PCIe covers

I am out of town on business, so I can't dig it up. I believe they are available on many PC customization sites. I was purchasing something else and saw them and said why not? I can dig it up when I get back the end of this week.

Cheers

Specs:
CPU: i7 3770k
GPU: EVGA Geforce SuperClocked+ 660ti 3GB DDR5
PSU: Corsair HX750 750w
Case: Corsair Obsidian 650D
SSD: Sandisk Extreme 256GB 6.0GB/s
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth Z77
RAM: Patriot 4x4GB 1600mhz DDR3
Optical Drive: ASUS 24X DVD Burner

PS. Yes, I cleaned up that wiring :3

Great rig you have built up there

I wonder why you are not getting a 7.9 graphics in WEI. That card should do this easily. Anyhow something you might want to investigate.

Cheers

Thanks but those aren't the ones. We were referring to the blue covers on the PCI-e sockets.
