That's a good idea. I had a 3-pin fan to 4-pin molex adapter that I plugged in a fan controller. Truth be told, it was because I had a fan header sticking out of the benching station and didn't have a MOLEX doing the same. At full they're plenty quiet, but you are right that they are quite bright.
Thanks for the feedback!

I actually used the resistors that came with the Corsair fans for my H70. I just cut them out of the adapters and wired them into the ram cooler. The main issue for me was really the color. The rest of my system is red themed. Along with the 7 volt mod I also used a sanding wheel on a dremel to "cloud" the lenses so the blue light would be more diffused and also bent the LEDs in towards the motherboard. Over all it came out o.k.

G.Skill makes some great RAM. The only RAM I would regularly recommend over G.Skill is the Corsair GTX2 Hyper-IC kit. Of course, those cost $200-per-2GB stick, so they'd darn well better be the best. Aside from that, G.Skill tends to have some of the best performance-per-dollar RAM IMHO. There are others that are just fine of course, I just like G.Skill and have since my days at abit.

I haven't but it wouldn't hurt to try. I'll give that a whirl soon; good idea!

Your kit is definitely stronger than mine, but still...it's pretty sweet it'll do 2400 with loosened timings!
CL10 just doesn't work for this kit. Haven't tried raising voltage, just doing 1.65V.
EDIT - Still at 1.65V, they did end up tightening a little bit, with a tRP of 10. The only thing they can't match on yours is CL, though I haven't tried 1T. This is a solid kit.

I have two separate kits that have 03/11 and 04/11 manufacture dates.
They both are able to pass 32M at 10-12-10-30 (1T).
No boot @ DDR3-2600 10-12-12-31 (2T) or DDR3-2400 11-11-11-31 (2T).
I also can't seem to boot with four dimms populated @ DDR3-2400 10-12-12-31 (2T) but they do seem able to run with four dimms at stock settings 9-11-9-28 (2T).

These are probably hynix chips so they won't run at 2600+ cl10 also why 10-12-12 ? ... these timings are generally for samsung IC in new kits like TridentX.
2400 should run @ tRCD 12+ , 2600 @ tRCD 13-14+ so for 2600 try something like 11-13-12 or 12-14-13. 2400 is probably already on max.

Thanks for input... I agree and think these are Hynix. I didn't really no what timings to try... so I copied in Primary timings from the current 2400/2600 offerings. It make sense though about Samsung and Hynix preferring a different set of timings.
