Looking real good Nip :)

nice man, I like compact builds

Looks nice. :thumbsup:

Thanks. Would have loved to gone with the 580 over the 560 but just couldn't talk myself into spending $500 on a gpu again.

Another tim replacement story for the good. Replaced the tim finally on my 560 gtx and temps went from 91 degrees to 82 degrees max with 30 minutes of Furmark running. That is good seeing I have space issues with less than normal air flow in my case. :D

Excellent. I am worrying about my build going into a case period.. SB and 580 uh.. temps are great by the window in an open bench situation ... in a case let alone a tiny case.. Im sweating it.. but it has to happen before I go house sitting this weekend.

Great setup and temps for that totally wrong structure.lol

Yeah that was another factor stopping me from purchasing a 570 or 580. Was afraid of the heat they would put off.

Nip I think we have the same taste. This is soo similar to a customer build I just did it's scary. I will post up a thread for it with pics.

As usual I can't just stay with a setup. Seems about every 3 months or so I am tossing it up. When I get done benching this Gene-Z mobo I will switch the setup over to it as well as a new case. I love this Silverstone case in this thread but just can't get adequate cooling with it. My 2600k is a 5ghz daily driver but I can't do it with this setup. I couldn't even do 4.5ghz without temps of upper 40's. Stay tuned.

Looking forward to it Nip :)

I ran a case for almost a straight month.

I built a shelf over my desk and have my main rig spread out on it now for the last few :)
