I have posted on another site, but thought i would post here too.
Hi,
This is my first post, and my first build I will be overclocking.
Not all the parts are ordered, just the case and the cpu, and soon the rest.
I wanted to ask if there would be any major problems with my current idea.
CPU: i7 920
Cooler: Prolimatech Megahalems
CPU Fans: 2 Ultra Kaze 120mm in push-pull
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
RAM: 3 x 2GB Patriot Viper 1600
Case: NZXT Tempest
PSU: Corsair 650 watt
And I dont think the other details are too important.
My plan is to setup the cooler so that the CPU fans are pushing the air to the top of the case, and having the 2 top case fans as exhaust. I want to use the rear case fan as an intake to send a little more cool are to the CPU. And the side panel as and intake for more cool air to the CPU.
I dont know what to use the front fans as...I am thinking intake...then all my exhaust is going to be at the top of the case, or through the PSU out the back at the bottom.
Any major problems with that?
and if I splice the power lines to the 2 ultra kaze, can I connect them to the CPU cooler pins on the motherboard so that the motherboard controls the CPU fans speed?
Thanks alot.
