Thx to shawty and other who advice me not to buy cosmos. I guess the review was true, bad air flow, and the insulator that keeps the PC quiet keeps a lot of hot air as well.

Got my PC yesterday, still updating drives and stuff, will update pictures later. Lazy to take much picture though =P

I am a noob at taking eye candy pictures, sorry. Below is the whole computer area as well as picture of the inside.








Thx to a lot to the guys who gave me advice and guided me.

Yeah stock cooler, waiting for next month for the zalman cpu cooler, cable management is kind of hard with little space to work on. Thx guys i do somehow like the Lian Li casing.

My shopping from Saturday and Sunday. Cpu cooler bought from Moderno, Lian Li extension from ATE and fans from ALL IT.










Really needed the extra air intake a bit worried of my NB temp, not that high but with one air intake only and at the bottom i don't think a lot of air is coming thru. Air flow should be ok now. Hmm worried that i might have apply the Zalman grease too thick. The fan was quite hard to put in IMHO, i don't get it how reviewer say it was easy. But i like it when finnaly installed
Did some cable management as well, but failed






Final View

Benchmark a bit sad din't get 16K out of the box (asking for too much ar?) Huhuhu.

But so far, games FPS has been great, everything is ultra high and full reso, except crysis, need to lower the reso.

Regent, just bought the CPU cooler, and time doesn't allow me much time, slowly i will OC though. actually it's 12k without SLI 14K with SLI. 2k diff, i think mostly CPU limited, i can't remember the Individual score though but i though it was significant.

The sound, well baby susah lar nak compare, but realistically, the sound coming from my PC and ceiling fan are comparable. I would say not that loud, like a low hum.

Hmm if the NB and SB only lar i might consider hot, but still roughly 48C only, sometimes jump to 52C like that, so far not that bad. But that was with 1 air intake, got to see how with the new air intake directly on the top will effect. If increase still i might consider a fan on top of the NB and SB, is there any solution? Cause i damn malas to tanggal all the heatsinks.

Ok lar after this i follow you lar....Guide me!!!

don't forget 3dmark score

i agree, i haven't OC anything yet, but even under load the NB doesn't go up that high, totally within 49C

Anyway, how much can the NB go up to? I mean i have been looking around to find, if 50C is really hot for the chip, but i can't find any answers. Some forums say it's like a gpu chip can go as high as 80C, and there is some that says it's better to keep it below 60C. You have any definite answer cstk?

Hmm, i am spending the day OC and checking stability, just wondering, did you update the bios to the latest one? 2nd, how much did you OC your 8400 on stock voltage?

No pics cause in Install straight, got a new hard disk from Perak PC Fair. RM 309 for a 500 GB Western Digital. Quite cheap i thought...isn't it?
