nother update. got a scythe fan for the back rad, 120mm, 1600rpm, 88.11 cfm. my old one was as loud as an f16 on full after burner. this one furtuatly, is nice and quiet. i now see why most people dont like to run their 8800gt stock fan on 100 percent

never realized how damn loud it is. i also took the cover of the rad, it looks more gehto now

the wire from the fan almost didnt make it

that was a close call, hate to have to return a great fan for something as little as that. temps actually went down a degree or two, not bad for a bout a 20db decrease in noise
