Replacing a few computer parts for some better stuff..

So I got everything put together. Been installing some games and running updates before I start playing. I ran into a few issues with the Coolermaster 212. It covers the ram slot on the left. Lucky for me that is the number 4 slot. I was able too use two of the others for my 2 chips. If i ever want to add more I will either need to pull the ram out i have or take the cooler off and replace it with something else. The other issue the cooler caused is that I was unable to mount a 120mm fan on the side panel bracket that is attached to it. So I left it off the side panel and used the extra fan attachment and set it up as a pull on the cpu cooler. Everything else went smooth as butter except for the wiring. There is a ton of wires in the case and it was difficult to hid them all. What I came up with will work for now but in the future I may open it up and try some more.

I opened my case back up today and moved things around for better looks and airflow. It looks much much better now. I also noticed that even with the 212 my temps were higher than what I expected at 30c idle. So while I had it open I took the heatsink off and the slower pull fan off the heatsink. I cleaning the thermal compound up and re applied it in a better fashion. Now i am idling at 22c and that is overclocked at 3.2 from 3.0. At 30c it was with no overclock.
