Happy days!!

Was going good up until:
1) which motherboard in the end?
2) the case - never been fond
3) THOSE hard drives? really? should be shot - "green edition" pfffffffft

Otherwise, very naice

Nice, was looking on that web site last night too.

How the hell did that heat sink fit in the case???

its the antec 1200, your son could probably fit in it, but anyway, very nice rig mate, but personaly would of picked titan fenrir for cooling than that venom.

Ive been over clocking today and got my Q6600 upto 3ghz without breaking a swet not even touch the volts yes.

The kit nate bought is in a bundle pre-overclocked by the ppl at overclockers all you got to do is bung it in a case. Mint stuff and the still warranty it as its them that have overclocked it. Guranteed 4ghz overclocked when it arrives. Good price also.

Im looking at a H50 watercooled setup cheap and easy to fit and should easy get my Q6600 to 3.6ghz then with a touch of vcore added. Well thats before my mobo spits its diddy out Also found out my ram can be ran at a higher rate so I maxed that out too.

yo orford take a llook at the CooLIt eco Advanced liquid cooling, from what i have read its pretty dam awsome

I was ordering the corsair H50 this morning when my daughter told me the wife want me to get a new lawmower as the old one has gone tits ups. So no water cooling for me this week but soon I will have one mawwahwhaahwahahwahwahwahwhah

Im looking at a H50 watercooled setup cheap and easy to fit

I fitted one to my i7 920 and got it up to 4Ghz easily.
I put it in as a "suck" to blow the fan over the radiator. I have since added a second 120mm fan for push and pull over the radiator for good measure.
Out of interest to do that you need some extra long screws to fit into the radiator and I had to order some of them.
So anyone wanting any, so that they can add an extra fan let me know and I'll post you some.

There's a mobo attached to your heat-sink. Just... you know, in case you missed it.

Lol it's a beast eh, the asaka venom is preeety tho looks great under blue/uv tubes
