    I think I will put a Corsair H100i in here this week, if I have enough time.

    I'm still waiting for the GTX 770 back plate, it says it was shipped on the 12th of June according to the EVGA site

    Cheers mate, it really shows off the Sabertooth
    I haven't setup the Corsair H100i properly yet, I'm just testing it using the motherboard fan headers (this Sabertooth has CPU and CPU_OPT headers) and Thermal Radar.
    At the moment I have the fans spinning very slow around 600 rpm and I'm getting roughly the same temps idle 25 oC, and I've lost about 10 -15 degrees under load.
    I'll have a proper look at setting up a fan curve in Thermal Radar tomorrow.

    I linked my x2 h100i fans to my fan controller and have them set to 1400rpm.....35c on idle but thats at 4.0ghz with speedstep off, so 4.0ghz 24/7.

    Any particular reason you have the tubes on the left handside?......nearly everyone does but i thought it would restrict the exhaust fan a tad, so put mine on the right......probs just my OCD kicking in again lol.

    OCD is good. it makes very few things in the world perfect

    Are they scratches on the block or just light reflections?

    Yeah, I need to lock this to 4GHz maybe 4.2GHz. I currently have it set with Speedstep off but Turbo on so it ranges from 3.5GHz to 4GHz.

    No particular reason for the tube layout, other than OCD lol. I felt it balanced the case better. If you look at the tubing and then the PCI-E cables in the opposite corner.

    I'm currently thinking about using or at least testing my favourite fans on the radiator instead of these Corsair ones - Sythe 120mm 1600RPM Ultra Quiet (68CFM @ 28db) and also getting some grommits to seal up the rad and fans as I have the case roof inbetween the fans and rad at the moment. We'll see.

    It looks like dust?......how the fook can you sleep knowing it's there Loyd?

    I was thinking about changing my x2 corsair fans for something quieter.....is there really that much difference?

    Lol yeah, it's a bit of dust.

    These Corsair fans at anywhere near 100% are really quite loud, whereas I can just leave these Sythes at 100% and never know they were on and get their full performance.

    Corsair Fans
    Fan speed: 2700 RPM
    Fan airflow: 77 CFM
    Fan dBA: 37.68 dBA

    Sythe Ultra Quiet
    Fan Speed: 1600RPM
    Fan airflow: 68CFM
    Fan dBA: 28 dBA

    I'll post back when I get round to changing them.
