@V_R: If you decide on the Rampage II Extreme bundle, be aware that the motherboard won't fit in the Fortress.

@jamescons: if your pc is stable at load, but not when browsing web/watching flash videos, this implies Speedstep is making your system unstable. Turn off the following options in bios and your system should be fine: C1E CPU TM function Speedstep C-state

Well, I'm glad your system is now stable for general use. About the restarts, it's hard to say. You can test to see if it's a software problem by booting into safe mode - if it doesn't restart, could be a software issue as you suggest, but you'd need to test it further. If it does restart, could...

That card will fit in the Lian Li case with room to spare.

Yeah, the chip will stick to 4ghz. With appropriate cooling, this shouldn't be a problem, and besides, you may gain stability - this is the important bit. As for the restarts on initial bootup, I can't say without knowing more. Could point towards a PSU issue, but we'll cross that bridge when we...

I managed to replicate this issue in the end. I have an i7 920 d0 oc'ed to 4ghz, using the Asus R2E and 6gb Patriot ram. Completely stable at load, but crashed/locked on general web use. In the end, traced the problem back to the motherboard's CPU throttling/power down settings. Turned those all...

You can download a win7 compatible version from their website. http://support.asus.com/download/download_item_mkt.aspx?slanguage=en-gb&model=M4N72-E

The Asus TurboV software that came on the disc with the motherboard should tell you what those voltages are.

This looks like a driver incompatibility issue with Flash rather than any hardware fault. I've had a browse around and this issue doesn't seem to be unique. Let us know if the new RAM makes a difference.

The Silverstone FT01 would fit those components quite comfortably. Good cooling, excellent cable management and noise profile. Looks better than the CM, but that's subjective. Similar price point.

Very cool case. Too bad it doesn't take anything bigger than ATX MBs. They won't shift many units at that price point.

I've modified the standard fan setup slightly. I left the front two 140mm intakes alone but added a modified Kama Bay for a third intake. Have two exhausts out the back, one of which is standard. In all, the case is quiet but not silent. It's all subjective but to give you an idea, despite the 6...

Just a heads-up; R2E won't fit in FT01. TJ07 would be best really if you want water down the line. Can't go wrong with the Lian Li full towers - plenty of room. Whichever one you choose though, just make sure it takes E-ATX.

I have the same memory and no problems at stock 8 8 8 24/1.65v/1600mhz. Could you post a pic of your bios ram settings?

@zia - thanks. Most challenging part was angling in the card to slot properly into place, but no, no serious issues otherwise. Everything tightly locked down.

Don't think there are any absolutes in choosing which setup to follow - it'll depend on internal case airflow, whether anything is in the way of your intake fans (like drives), how tidy your cables are. Since you're SLId, I'd suggest using the side panels to push cool air over your cards but...

Chose a full tower for future proofing. The room also gives me quite a few options for messing with internal airflow, which is a big deal because the 295 unhelpfully exhausts hot air into the case itself. Also, the i920 is OCed to 4Ghz. Fortunately, at present, I'm getting temperatures not far...

Having greatly enjoyed pics of other builds, I thought I'd go ahead and post my own latest setup. Case is the Lian Li PC-A70F recently stocked by OCUK. Not a bad piece of kit I have to say. The beast within: Interesting clip design, not bad: But not really liking the drive cage or...

I checked out this case recently at a local retailer. Interior was indeed black. Can't speak for the noise on the RV01 but having owned the FT01, the fans used by Silverstone are generally decent from a noise perspective.
