Yeah Yeah, heat rises blah blah but it isn't going to affect temperatures all that much on a normal setup. Plus I have almost everything watercooled in this build so all the heat will be at the radiators anyways.

Sorrry, it is getting delayed once again

I am not happy with my PSU sleeving job, so I've decided to redo the entire thing again. Just ordered 100 feet of sleeving for it

Also I went to do a test setup today with my ol' OCZ 700W PSU and have found out that I have stripped the threads on my CPU waterblock, so I also had to order a new one. So hopefully it shouldn't be more than 2 more weeks (as if the past 6 weeks without it haven't been long enough )

'tis a bad habit. Every week, just as parts arrive, i notice that i am missing something small but very necessary. Then I go and make another order and I end up spending an extra $100-$150. And this happens every week damn near For like 8 weeks in a row lol.

do you live with a girl or do you own a hair dryer ? That would work, you can even use a lighter/torch. Heatshrink makes sleeving look 10x better IMO.

You did notice the outtake and the cpu cooler are working against eachother now...?
The rear fan is blowing out of the case while the cpu fan is blowing towards the memory.
