Akinari if you don't mind me coming and joining you at night time that would be great. I got a bunch of deals last itme and hoping to get some deals this time even though I don't need anything LOL.
Edit: if I can join in on the line up for warehouse sale I got 2 camping chairs and a 6 man tent. Willing to get food and drinks too

I had some girl come into the busser station the other day trying to make out with every staff member and then pull down her pants and asked for someone to stick a dick in her (at least she shaved).

I got everything I went for Fractal Design Define R3 in Arctic White, exactly what I wanted. $33 pretty much brand new. Fell in love with this case when it was first released awhile ago, as that flat front door is perfect for wrapping. Will probably put some 3M Primavera Dark Wood or 3M Bubinga Gloss Wood wrap on the front.

99% of Phenom 965BE chips top out at 4.0GHz. Any higher wouldn't really increase performance anyway.
The 965BE runs pretty hot at stock clocks already, and my room is always very warm especially in the summer with ambient temps at around 25-30 degrees.
I don't have any problems running stable at 4.0GHz, but my temps are very dependent on my ambient room temps. On a sunny afternoon I usually idle around 35-40, at night with my window wide open with 4th floor White Rock sea breezes, I idle at around 30-33. Have never done a stress test to check load temps, it's pointless as I will never do anything that will put the CPU at 100% anyway. Playing TERA I get 40 degrees, rarely go over 43. But again, highly dependent on my ambient temps.
Kind of dependent on what fan I have blowing into the rad as well, I found that a rear intake config significantly lowers temps compared to an pull/exhaust setup (as tested by Antec awhile ago, confirmed that rear intake produces lower temps).
Was using a Gentle Typhoon AP-15 before, amazing fan but the bearings eventually get louder to a point where I decided to not use them anymore. Even tried to re-oil the bearings to no avail. Now I'm using a Noctua NF-F12, ultimate silence but it's definitely a downgrade in comparison to the AP-15. Going to get another NF-F12 for a push/pull setup. I spend way too much money on fans. One of these days I'm going to jump ship to Intel and never have to worry about temps again
tl;dr closed loop watercooling is not worth the money unless you find a great deal. I bought my Kuhler 620 for $30 which is essentially 50% off, but it's definitely not any better than my old Hyper 212 Plus on push/pull.

just curious, I read somewhere suggesting people to place the watercooling fan blowing outside air to the radiator rather than mounting it at the back blowing air out.

have you tried both? which way is better?
That's exactly what I'm doing. I definitely got better temps when I changed to this config. Think about it, you're blowing air from outside the case which supposedly has lower temps onto a hot radiator, instead of exhausting hot air from inside the case onto the radiator and out the back.
Essentially, cold air is entering from outside the case through the back, blowing onto the hot rad, then exhausting out from the top exhaust fan, with another bottom intake fan blowing additional air upwards to help with exhausting.
The only gripe I have is that since my case is cooler, my room gets really hot when I'm gaming
Any other better options from NCIX? Posted via RS Mobile
R4 is pretty loud, A15 is good, but why would you be getting a PWM fan for a case fan application? The A14 would be the one you want, or the P14. A14 = open air applications, P14 = higher pressure for hard drive cages or slightly more enclosed spaces. I use the A14, it's definitely not silent by any stretch, but for the amount of air it pushes, it's pretty darned quiet. My case is completely sound dampened though so it might make a difference.

A14 ahh icic well mainly I'm using this for cooling while mining litecoins so my video card is whining anyways so not really too concerned with silent, moreso because my case is filled with noctua stuff already and anything else would clash with the color scheme heh :s Posted via RS Mobile
A14 managed to lower my GPU temps about 8 deg! Success!
Although with my D14 heatsink I can't close my case completely now, and when I first closed up my case the fan actually pushed my heatsink around and comp wouldn't boot until I moved it back into position :/
May just screw the fan a bit lower into the side case hole Posted via RS Mobile
If it helps, perhaps you could use the P14 instead as it uses 120mm mounting holes.
In other news, I picked up another S12A and another A14. Now running two S12As to cool my HDDs and the A14 as a bottom intake. Haven't decided if I want to get a P14 as the pull fan for my Kuhler 620, or wait for the F12 I RMA'd.

So, I just bought two of Noctua's new NF-S12A 120mm fans for intake on my Define R3, the area for HDD cooling. I guess my old case was less restrictive up front because on with the dust filter and HDD cage right after the fans, the S12As can't really blow any air, as they're meant for unrestricted areas with very low static pressure. Need to switch over to P12s instead.
Selling or trading, any takers?
