Here is my rig.

I had 2 5770's in CF but there was not much perfomance increase so one has now been removed and is to be sold.

Full set of Gelid UV blue fans 2x 140 and 4x 120, and a scythe server master controller, temp sensors on cpu, gpu, hard drive enclosure and ram.

Sythe ninja on cpu and Scythe Setsugen 2 on the remaining 5770, with a Gelid UV blue 120mm rather than the slimline one it comes with.

All programs run off one 1 seagate hybrid drive (4gb SSD, 500gb) which is in a quiet drive made by scythe(very much like this product), the 2 additional drives are monthy alternate backup drives only, so make no noise due to to no use.

The system is whisper quiet, cpu at stock clocks and card 950MHz (GPU) and 1380MHz (mem ddr5).

The case its self has awsome airflow, and manage by this controller its just fantastic.

I plan on getting some sleeving done for all cables but thats when I have time. Let me know what you think thus far

Not a good idea to have the cooler pulling air off the top of your GPU. Much better to have it blowing across the heatsink and out of the back matey

The fan isnt actually turning (not plugged in)... just didnt bother to take it off, should of mentioned that I supose the cooling comes from the above 140mm and 120mm I should get round to taking it out..Not tonight tho cant bothered

CPU at 3.6 now and still whisper quiet and stable, the GPU ideals at 35 with its fan off. Air flow ftw

Hey man I really like how clean your desk and room is.

Thanks Qubo i like things tidy in my work/play space.

Since the OC and hot room temps ive returned the cpu fan into action and moved it so its pushing to back of case,As tinytom stated, now there is a 140mm and 2x 120mm effectivly on the ninja.

Must say im very happy with the gpu cooler i havent tried it with its stock fan on tho only this gelid UV blue. The fans them selves im impressed with, they move alot of air and are quiet and fan controller = dont know how I lived without it. Im alil concerned on the Ram temps going up to 50 but suposidly thats ok? they are very tightly packed in there having 4 sticks. Any advice very welcome!

Finding this heat sink dosent seem to let air go straight through it :S the air being pushed from the attached fan is directed to the sides when put fan on full you can hardly feel air flow to the opposite side.. this meens its throwing heat onto the GPU which is fine atm as the gpu heatsink is over kill for a 5770 but might be an issue in the future. Going to start thinking about making a heatshield between the cpu and gpu.
