His 360 mate

thought it might be , was wondering if the motherboard had ATA chip on it ,

 

[sargie]

no the sata cable just goes underneath the bottom of the drive bays have redone the cables 3 times lol just wasnt pleased with them and they restricted airflow. i got another 5.c of pwm and cpu temps since my final cable tidy.

my cpu idles at 35.c now with a 4hz oc and at load its 55.c which is since i upgraded the big typhoons fan. system temp is 20.c and pwm is 40.c

That big sexy fan looks noisy, is it?

well its rated at 26db it is noisier than the case fans but i was willing to sacrifice some quietness for cooling as ive extremely overclocked my cpu. i did buy a fan controller to turn it down during web browsing and so on but if it goes too slow the lights dont work on it .
