    vcore value

    thanks again Gamingphreak ;), Why close off the top opening? Hot air are collected at the top right? What's the take on SilenX fans? Lots of talk around these as fakes and crappy but there is nothing bad interms of reviews... I will change the fans back to stock (i think they are loud...
