Just added a Antec Kuhler 620 to replace the CoolerMaster 212......temps are much more stable at higher OC's now.....debating on using 1 or 2 fans on it, prolly end up with 2 since I have several sitting in the bottom drawer lol.

Apparently push and pull configuration works great on those things if you don't mind the extra noise. Now you also have a lot of room.

yup that's the beauty part, couldn't hear any of the 120's over the 6950's stock cooler......I used the Antec Tri-Cool as puller and the AeroCool Shark as pusher since it moves more air at a lower speed.....have 30 days if I need to get the 920 instead :) lol

Been looking really long and hard at the Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z, but according to Antec's site the 300 (which I am using) won't house this board....but my trusty tape measure says it will lol. Had several issues with Asus support with their last board when all the B2 stuff came out on the SATAIII ports failing, but I may give them another shot :thinking: If so I will have a used MSI P67A-GD65 up for sale well below new price's since I've had it for almost a year now...will know this weekend if I'm MIA for Satuday :ha:

Shoehorned it in and holy cow it was tight but still have just enough room to slide the dvd drive into the bay and only have it stick out a tad into the bezel. This board is not shy in the bios dept. at all, I could spend days tweaking and still not use everything in there :wutt: So far I've been running at 4.6GHz stable and will try some more tweaking this weekend after my video card cooler gets installed :hi: So much for no more upgrades for a while lol.
