Update: Yesterday I moved the case out from under my desk to the side of the desk and it is even better :-) I am now overclocking the Q6600 mildly to Q6700 speeds and the CPU temp is staying in the low 40's C even under load.
Woo hoo :-) Thanks for all the help and saving me $500. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Beave Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 12:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Water-cooling Looks good. 7 Degrees C is something that helps out. Make it so that the power supply blows air out to the rear of the case. Also try to make it so there is no or hardly any interruption in the air flow from the front of the case thru the power supply. My next case is going to be either TJ09 or TJ10 from Silverstone. If I get the TJ10. I'll get he ESA version of it.

Here is what I have now, I hope it makes sense. Side 1 ------O------ | FD | ox2 I HD i | HD i | HD i | CD | | | |PSU--------| | | | OCpu | V | V I I i | i ------------- Other side ------O------ |FD | i HD O | i HD | i HD | |DVD | | | |-------PSU | | | | Cpu | | V i V i | ------------- Key: HD = Hard disc FD = Floppy disc V = Video i/o = 80mm fans except in front of HD which are 30mm I/O = 120mm fans One point to note and I hadn't really paid any attention to this before but the new PSU is so long it separates the bottom of the case from the top. The 120mm exhaust fan above the CPU seems to be doing the job for the bottom of the case now that I have proper air flow. No crashes so far, but I still may look at getting a different case eventually to allow for full case airflow.
