The air pressure been something i asked around for. At first i was gonna flip the rear fan around (dust filtered), but i been told it's better to have it as it is. The front fans run at 700 RPM and the other three at 600 RPM, hopefully that compensates things. Also since my expansions slots are vented the videocard is getting it's air from both front and back.
I could have gotten the orange G.Skill ARES kit, but that would mean going from C9 to C11 for the same 2133 MHz. Since i don't have a window that felt really wrong. Initially i had order Corsair Dominator Platinum, but during the build i found it wasn't gonna fit because the only way i could orientate the CPU Cooler is like it is now. Flipping it the other way would fit ANY memory, but i'm unable to use the first PCI-E slot which is also the only 16X. So i needed to look for Low Profile memory and the current kit seemed the best at the time.
My temps are great really considering my rig is setup for Silent Gaming Performance, as said above the case fans run slow. The CPU Cooler goes to max 1200 RPM where it remains silent to my ears, and trust me i'm a sucker for silence my ears pick up everything. The Twin Turbo 2 is fixed at 30% which is also silent. In heavy Gaming sessions the CPU ticks 60C and the GPU stays below 60C. Healthy temps
I went from a X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro to this ZxR and it's a world of difference. The ZxR has such superior headphone surround, also i got it for a great deal... 161 Euros... a crime isn't it? ^^

I could probably go higher with my CPU aswell, it seems i have the golden chip. Right now at 4.4 GHz i only need 1.15 volts to run stable with OCCT Linpack + AVX. I been underclocking aswell and at stock it only need 1.025 volts. My goal was 25% OC tho, which is what i reached.
