Thats a mighty big RAM cooler you got there :rock: :rock:

Did it help with your OC ??

And good idea on the power supply :thumb:

just some generic best buy 120mm fan, does the trick though. actually it is in a slightly new location now. :) it does seem to help cool the ram pretty well, it isn't quite cool to the touch, but it is close :)

memtesting my new ram now, something still isnt quite right in my system, just not sure what.

Upside down..nah that's the way it is suppose to be. It's OCZ that put the switch and the adjusting pot upside down! :hide:

(Always had mine installed the same way, only way to get all these cables to lay against the right side panel of the case as oppose to dropping smack in the middle of everything.) :thumb:

I guess they had BTX in mind for that one....

most PSU's i have seen have the cables on teh wrong side IMHO anyway.

Probably true, I never really noticed in the past mind you. Just moved to a new case yesterday, and sadly no way to flip the PSU upside down on this one. It would require me to dremel the holding plate of the PSU.

So went the normal way and used tiewraps here and there to keep cable neat..will post pictures and all in another thread started a little while back. Honestly not sure if I will keep it that way...might have to go dremel way and flip it.
