OK, guys. Installation was hard and easy. Why? That Intel stock fan is a b* to remove. We had to use tongs to get one pin out. After that, we removed the CPU, cleaned it from the old thermal paste and put it back to the place with new thermal paste. The easy part is to install the new fan! It fit like a breeze and very easy install. Now, on idle, I see a very good improvement. Core 2 to 4 can see a temperature drop as good as 10C.

Idle :

I don't know if I left it idle long enough though...

In charge (100%) - same test as above :

WOW!!! Just compare... that's two different world! There's a whole 15oC difference (with the first core anyway)! I will reactivate Hyperthreading and Turbo Boost right now!

P.S I will add pictures of the fan a bit later.

Much, Much, better

You're going to be happy with that.

So...... I got my Phenom II x3 the other day (not working yet, but I'm hoping a BIOS flash will fix that), and I got my EVGA GTX275 SuperClocked Edition today.

I'm grinning like a 10 year old at Christmas right now....

But (why is there always a 'but'??), I think I might need a new case though... Lol. My 8800GTS is 9" long, and it only just fits my case. The GTX275 is 10.5" long. I'll play around over the weekend and see if I can work some magic with my trusty Dremel, but if not, then my GTX will be a glorified paperweight until I get a now case.. Dangit, why does it have to be so darn big!

I'll get some pics up once I've managed to get everything up and running again...

About time i posted up my setup I think.

Currently planning a full water loop to go in next, hence the removal of the 3bay HDD cage. (big design floor in the base though, with how the holes are laid out.

The main door has the 200mm fan on it too, and just about fits with the H50 where it is.

The Phantom isn't as cool as my previous Antec1200, but with the amount of space in the Phantom, it lends itself better to watercooling over the 1200, which with this build in, was getting very tight indeed, despite it's sheer size.

Nice paint job, Your computer should now also be theft proof with the florescent orange paint as it would be seen blocks away if carried outside.
