Thanks man that'll be a help!! BTW if you haven't tossed it yet, save the heatpipe assy for a couple of days as I may end up chopping on mine.

You need an intake fan you only have one. I would also consider putting one at the top between the CD and PSU.

Lucky for you I'm a packrat. i saved it thinking maybe I could use it for something else. I would lap it before reinstlling it tho. the bottom is the roughest surface i have ever seen on a heatsink. and apparently the theory of "more surface area" doesn't apply to heatsinks. the results I have seen on the web, and direct testimonial from our own mad scientist, say mirror fininsh is best.
@josh, we have been over and over his air flow situation. even drawing diagrams to demonstrate our ideas.

[Edit] well forget the heatpipe, my 5 yr old got his hands on it and the heat pipe part is twisted. let me send it to you and if you need ot hack one hack this one.[/edit]

Thanks again BS as that way I can go back "stock" if the W/C ideas go out the window!! Would prefer to chill the mosfets also but if I can't find a block to fit I'll have to use theirs and air cool the snit out of it!

in that case I'll include the ASUS fan I used on mine,

don't need it now as I got a new one with the asus I'm using now. I gotta find a padded manila envelope for this...
