Not too long ago, i installed watercooling. One of the problems that came with it was that there was no airflow over the board whatsoever. The ram and the mosfets were burning hot so i couldnt go anywhere OCing. The CPU and NB was really, really cool, but nothing else. So i was thinking of how to mount a fan so that it puts a breeze over my ram and mosfets.
then i saw the threaded mounts of the RBX. I immediately picked up my 92mm Zalman fan and threaded a corner through the top right corner pole of the RBX. The fan is sandwiched between the spring and the nut at the top of the pole. The spring is slightly more compressed and the nut is right on the end of the pole, but the fan covers 2/3 of each ram stick and my ram turned from 55 degrees on the heatspreader to 22 degrees on the heatspreader.
Pics will come soon when i get home and get the digi cam working. Dosnt look very good, but it works. Maybe i might get a clear or LED 92mm or 120mm fan instead.
