Pearl Jam - Lightning Bolt

This is a great album. Upbeat and energetic. Reminds a bit of Vitalogy on some of the songs, which is great!

Re: 600T + H60 Fan Setup

So, today I got fed up and decided to pull of the H60 and take a peek at it. Glad I did. I don't know how, but there was hardly any thermal paste remaining. So I cleaned what was left of it and applied some AS5. Hooked it back up and set the fans as: Front: 200mm intake Rear: 2 x 120mm Noctua F-12 p...

Re: 600T + H60 Fan Setup

Ah, okay then; that explains a lot. If you're not using four fans in the mesh panel it's actually going to reduce CPU cooling by preventing any case pressure whatsoever, and disrupting the through-flow of cool air from the front of the case. The reduced chimney effect and the disuption of intake-to...

Re: 600T + H60 Fan Setup

The 600T looks like a bit of a cooling failure with only one intake, and it's heavily obstructed by the drive cages - that's a bad starting point for a positive pressure cooling setup. As others have said, remove as much of the obstruction from the front intake as possible, and replace those wussy ...

Re: Post your Highest OC'

My best overclock ever was taking an Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition from 2.2GHz to 3.3GHz.
Previous to that, I had taken a Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego from 2.2GHz to 3.0GHz.
Currently, running a i5-2500K at 4.7GHz.

Overclocking can be fun.

Re: 600T + H60 Fan Setup

I also second the motion of removing a fan from your AIO. Taking the inside fan off my old H70 did wonders for noise, with about 3C increase in temp. ADD: To carry on from DPete's suggestion, you can mount both 3x3.5inch block side-by-side on the floor, and open up half your front intake. If you ca...
