    Also, the Corsair logo is upside-down on the H80 block

    I dont think it will fit the other way around. The tubes will get into all sorts of very wierd positions if you force it to so that the corsair logo is the right way.

    It's not an H80 it's just a 50 (the 80 has a square water block, mines an older model 50 anyways) and ya it's upside down it was the only way it would install without kinking the hoses. Id have put it at the top but my motherboard is so close to the case edge there isn't enough room for push/pull. Also it's in the orientation that's shown to keep the hoses out of my top fans.

    Tops as intake with the 50 exhausting, positive pressure setup? Could work, but ya I'd need some filters my room gets dusty. I could re-seat it the proper way up and stick the rad at the bottom next to the PSU. Not sure the hoses would be long enough thou.

    Is the Samsung also 120Hz? I've heard some people having trouble with running 120Hz+60Hz displays.

    I have actually no longer got trouble with that.. the only game i really had trouble with was SWTOR. And after digging some through the internet i read that using compatibility mode Win XP SP3 actually removed the problem entirely. And it did :O

    I can now run 120Hz and 60Hz next to eachother just fine with any game.

    No no, it's my parent's setup. Q8200 + 8400GS, dual monitors powered by the same card, 1 of them is my old Samsung 120hz I passed down.

    My own gaming setup is single monitor (VG236H) and will stay that way.

    ... You passed a 120Hz to them? Do they use it enough?

    And what monitor are you using now? Why haven't you posted about it?!?!?!?!

    Not bad, what's with the 660 3GB version? A 192-bit memory bus renders that extra vRAM pointless, not to mention the GPU core will be at it's limit long before there's any threat of vRAM running out o_O

    Probably because not every single PC user is that informed and then "they" default to bigger must be better.

    Update since my last post.

    Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    I gave my brother my 7870 since I hated his 7770 he been using. Decided to give nvidia another chance. Been using AMD cards for years because of a bad nvidia experience. Got a GTX 680, kinda having regrets not getting a 7970 ghz lol. I was really impressed with the size of the card. My old 7870 was well into the hard drive bay. I don't like how my 2 SSDs are kinda just floating in the case, I dunno what to do about that.

    This is my best cable management ever, lol

    if images too big, i apologize.
