Thanks again

Im still using the stock cooler. Stuck at around 3.2ghz I will hopefully be buying an ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 Next friday.

Internal Wiring is fairly clean/well routed.

Still havent decided on a final resting place for the tower. I dont want to put it on the floor but I can't fit it on any shelf

So I did it, I ordered the AC Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 92mm. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186134 Not the Greatest Cooler but its all about budget and hopefully this cooler will let me reach my target clock.

Ive read on a couple forums these tall Tower heat sinks Benefit from throwing a second fan on the opposite side. Im sure I have an extra 80mm lying around and will give it a try.

Hope that gets you to your target clock, as for location; I displayed it on my desk so I could ogle at her, for about 2 weeks, then from much pestering from the spouse , she went to the final resting place.
