Rubber Gromets for cable management holes / Rubber pads for PSU
I'm thinking RED for the side mesh Maybe??
I will try to mount 90CM fans in the middle, back of the drive cages X 2, and no fans in front.
Underneath the top/front panel, 200MM Fan, USB, 1394, etc...
Still waiting for the E5300, HDD, DVD-ROM, & Zalman CNPS7000C
Ultra X3 800 watt PSU needs a to be polished
Back
Through the front bays
Mounted the 92s together for a rectangle dual fan
I think this will pull in some air..
Moved the drive cages up 1 bay to center the inside fans..
Powered on,, updating Windows & Drivers
Temporary Intel Stock CPU cooler, Waiting on Zalman CNPS700C Solid Copper
Extra motherboard bracket, I guess originally it was an AM2 socket only..
Maybe that's why they sent the extra metal socket 775 bracket.
This is a very heavy solid piece of copper, Which will be very effective at CPU temps.
When I installed the Intel Stock Fan Heatsink CPU Cooler it warped the motherboard.
This Zalman back bracket not only holds the copper heatsink in place,
but also keeps the motherboard strait.
I used Arctic Silver Thermal Material remover to remove the old thermal paste.
Followed by Arctic Silver Surface Purifier on the CPU & CPU Cooler.
I used the Zalman ZM-STG1 Thermal Grease - Brush on..
Notice I lightly brushed it on, and evened it out across the CPU, very, very thin layer..
This was the easiest Zalman I have installed, was very simple.
Notice that the 4-pin cpu power cable is run diagnal around the gpu..
This is due to the PSU being mounted on the bottom as opposed to the top.
I'm ordering a 12" 4-pin CPU power cable extension, I can run it up the back side.
Added a 9800GT SSC 650MHZ, Overclocked to 670MHZ
Also changed ram to Corsair XMS2 DHX (Dual Path Heat-Exchange)
Overclocked the Intel E5300 Dual Core to 2.86GHZ
Complete & ready for gaming... CyberMC's New Gaming Rig..
