I have the same motherboard, and I use a Thermalright Ultra-120. I got a X2 4400+ oc @ FX-60 on it. Temperature is better than stock cooling/stock speed.

*Installed in P180.

Try getting a 4x PCI-Express tuner :D. This could arrange the problems :D! Or you could get like me, the non SLI version of the HR-05, you'll have to use the second pci-express 16x, but at least it won't block any of your PCI slots.

This is weird. I'm using the 3.01 build 733 beta and don't have this problem. I'm using the onboard sound card of my DFI Ultra-D also.

Antec's SONATA II might also be a good option for you, it comes with a 450watts SmartPower 2.0 PSU and it's around 110 euro.

No, I think there are two versions, one with PSUs, and one without. Maybe someone who can read French can tell us. From what I can tell from the article (French is only my second language) there is only one version of the P190, which comes with a 1200W PSU (!!!) which is actually made up of two PSU...

Where can I buy fan's rubber mounting nuts.

Hi guys, I don't known how this is called, but I'm actually looking for the silicon/rubber pins that replace the fan's screws and absorb vibrations. I saw that Nexus has a package with some of them, but it cost 30 $ and comes with a lot of crap that I don't need. I don't mind paying 30$ for thoses t...

loll i didn't read your signature before, sorry :P Yes, on a SLI-DR (non expert), you need to use the Thermalright HR-05- SLI . Otherwise, you'll block the first PCI-Ex slot. If you do not intend to use the first PCI-Ex slot at all, the THermalright HR-05 non sli can fit also. In both case, you can ...

Is it one of the WD drives with the temperature reporting bug? I don't think so, I've tried it in the main chamber and temperature droped also to 30 celcius. I beleive the airflow in the lower chamber is really bad. What power supply are you using? This is important to know. If it is a fan-cooled P...

Yeah, I don't need the two 16x slots, but I would like to use the first one to get a better direct airflow for my video card, so I might get the SLI version of the HR-05.
