AFAIK 2 are 4 pin PWM the CPU and one other, and the rest are standard 3 pin fixed jobbies.

Before anyone says it, i know this is a watercooling case really, that was my initial plan. However, i've been forced into an early upgrade as my last pc died, and i dont really have the cash for a full w/c setup just yet. Trying to make do for a month or two on air before i go w/c cpu / chipset...

Im running a Coolermaster Cosmos S. 3 exhaust fans in the top, one exhaust out the bank, one front intake, one bottom intake. Have had to take the side fan off as the noctua cpu cooler doesnt fit with it on.. Noctua is orientated to exhaust out of the back of the case. Noticed last night that...

Seems the Northbridge is getting pretty hot. Can anyone recommend any particular active setups that work well this this board ?

Massive help needed !! Just tried to lower the vcore a little more, it crashed in windows now i cant even get into the bios. LED code shows 26. Tried clearing the cmos via the button and removing the battery but still cant get back into the bios. Any ideas what i can do here ?

I have been using Prime95 to load the CPU, checking temps with both RealTemp and CoreTemp. Ambient in the room is pretty hot which isnt helping, but i suspect with a bit of tweaking and moving cards about in the system i'll be able to bring it down a bit. Im guessing the Cosmos S side fan...

1: Well vcore was 2.2+ volts, but its perfectly stable at 1.28xxx. Going to lower it a bit anyway and see what happens. I gather its set high as default to ensure stability for most people given different psu etc. 2: Just thought id double check on temps because reading various posts etc, some...

Noob overclocker alert !! Just got the X58-UD5 / Noctua / Core i7 3.8ghz bundle and have a few questions. Using a coolermaster Cosmos S (3 fans in the top, one rea exhaust by the cpu, one bottom intake, one front intake). Side fan removed (doesnt fit with the noctua - need to see if its...
