While this new rig is basicly complete, I'm modding now for something to do.
Remember, Gizmo, me trying different fan combo's on this Xigmatek HDT-51283? Some were a wash but most gave a loss in ability to cool.
The way my rig is set right now , it is very simple to check a couple of configurations.
The
HSF is bolted thru the board, nylon hardware, and it's fairly easy to get close to equel torgue by getting the same measurement of screw exiting all four nuts.
Now, I have an adjustable 120mm on the bottom of the cooling fins. It is very respectable temps of 34c with F@H GPU running. I just added a 120mm to the top of the cooling fins-no other adjustments, and temps drop to 29c. I haven't done any stressing yet but that lookksgood to me!
PS:
OC at the moment is 3.85ghz. no testing yet.
EDIT:
Not a closed system yet either!
