New cooling apparatus installed and temps are MUCH better!
Only problem I ran in to is that the Panaflo I bought is too fat to fit in the top panel without interfering with the mobo caps and hitting the heatsink.
So what I did was put my higher speed S-FLEX in the top, and put the Pana on the heatsink. Added my 1200RPM S-FLEX in the front via the Kama Bay, added my slot blower and directional fan.
The inside is now staying much cooler! My G80 tops out @ 80*c full load and my proccy tops out at 52*c full load.
The rig is a definitely audibly louder now, but the enhanced cooling is well worth it IMO.
I'll try and get some pix, probably after I get in to the new house. Cheers!
