So I've set some rules for myself.

No more builds until Haswell & 780's are released.
This way ill be prepared to drop a bag of cash on another Quad-Sli setup :o
Really hoping MSI release a truly black edition motherboard - The Mpower was a step forward but i want a FULL black edition motherboard.

Too many companies trending down Red & Black.

I'm waiting for someone to produce a decent orange motherboard.

Go-go, Biostar! :thumbsup:

Am i the only person who questions why GPU's Fans point towards the bottom of the case?

Not sure why they don't flip the PCB so the fans & shell is facing towards the CPU.
You would obtain better cooling as 90% of case fans are located above the GPU & directed at the CPU.

Not to mention aesthetics would be a huge improvement.

Just a thought & feel free to hate.

Not interested in sensors, after all I've used a Naga for the past 3 years.


I wasn't just complaining about the sensor. In fact, that didn't even bother me when I used mine. It was the design, for some reason I could not get it to be comfortable to use. The steelseries sensei / mionix naos has been much more comfortable.

Pretty sure most cards pull air and force it out the back. Moving cold air around the heatsink. Pulling the air down from around the CPU would pull a mix of cold / hot air - because some of this air would have just cooled the CPU as well as splitting the air flow. Pulling from the bottom will basically pull all air that is the same temperature. Additionally, most cases allow for fans in the side / bottom to provide air specifically for the GPU. Remember, most computers that needs a powerful GPU is still air cooled on the CPU.

This probably would produce the same or better results with a water cooled CPU.

pull cold air from the bottom? dernno probably less dust too, youd get the warm air from cpu which no bueno

y not just get a inverted case or like a horizontal case
