Hmm, I actually do have it mounted the right way. I removed the fan from the assembly and just felt the flow and I had it right. Thanks for the tip on that. I wonder if it can be mounted so that the fan is exhausting towards the top on a evga 680i, but I'm not going to take the whole assembly...

OK yeah after some more research today I think I was confused by their marketing hype. I also believe that I do have the sucker mounted backwards as it definitely has an exhaust side and an intake side. According to the post at : http://forum.abit-usa.com/showthread.php?t=103462&page=1 and...

Right, but I thought the Tuniq fan is a special 9 blader that isn't like other fans in that the air doesn't flow in just one direction -- it pulls from one and exhausts from the other. At least thats what it says...

bump for the morning crowd... anyone?

I recently built the rig described below in my sig. I feel like I am having some kind of issue with heat, particularly under load. I first built the system with the paste that comes with the Tuniq 120. I spread it all over the CPU heat spreader like I *thought* I was correct to do -- of...

I am upgrading from an old FX-55 platform and taking the Core2Duo plunge. I plan on ordering everything late this evening, barring any contradictory advice. EVGA 680i motherboard E6600 CPU Tuniq Tower 120 Teamgroup TXDD2048M800HC4DC 2 gig PC6400 800 mhz sticks Cooler Master CM830 case...

I have an FX-55 and a 6800GT SLI setup on a 23 inch hp l2335 widescreen monitor and it has a number of problems with Madden 2006. I have tried everything at this point but have been unable to get the game to run satisfactorily without massive screen tearing in AFR or straight up visual...

I don't have a multimeter but the voltages in my BIOS are plenty strong and consistently well above the voltage rates per rail. I have a Thermaltake case that has 6 fans in it as well, and the front panel controls which lists the speeds the fans are running at and you can adjust them etc...

Couldn't wait and called the wife -- system that I left in HL2 had crashed. So apparently plugging in the unplugged power rail hasn't stopped anything. :( Reports I'm getting from other forums also suspect the power supply. I just don't see how that can be, but hell, maybe it is.

I'll be sure to pick up all of those on the way home. Heh sorry for the pessimism, its just the way my luck has gone with this machine the past week -- I find the one thing that I feel like I had yet to uncover and it may not make a difference. We'll see in about an hour.

You were right -- the FDD one was not connected! It is hidden unbelievably well, granted, but I can't believe a system builder as experienced as Monarch would overlook something like this, particularly on a shipped SLI system. Of course it remains to be seen whether or not it will fix my...

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for when I look for these. Just about everything on my motherboard that looks like a power plug has something plugged in to it. I'll check this ASAP though, once I know what I'm looking for. Perhaps I can find a link to the board layout.
