Maybe I'm dumb, but I'm not seeing where the 6 extra fans are going to be installed in a PS07, unless you're also using those fans on the NH-D14.
Well... I'm not 100% sure, but i think all the pcbs of 7850 have components to the left side which will conflict with the heatpipes:

I was planning to use 2 fans in the front (intake), 1 in the back (exhaust), 2 on the gpu and 1 on the cpu. I went with the macho instead of d14 though, but had to order it separately since most shops doesn't sell it.
Still haven't decided whether to run them in 500 or 700rpm though. I'm not sure 500rpm will be enough, but I guess I could just test and adjust later.

Should i continue building my computer? Im so depressed about newegg denying my rma for my motherboard.
Also, you know how all cpus have alignment holes? would my cpu be affected if thermal paste got into the hole?
|
There's notches and gold markers... but no holes...
|
|
|
That's a result of the manufacturing process. Manufacturers aren't as stupid as you make them out to be.
|
no problem with thermal paste that mgihtve got in there?
Should i continue building?
|
by buying a new motherboard
|
That's your decision, not mine -.-
|
but the thermal paste on the cpu hole is fine?

Hey guys, didn't get any responses:
Does anyone know if a 2500k cpu is a good cpu to use when building a comp for sc2 and EVE? I want 60 fps on a lower 16 or 16:10 resolution. Say around 1200x800~

sure its good, just watch the prices on the 2500k which is around ~200-210 USD and a p67/z68 motherboard which hovers around ~100 USD

nice, your gtx 670 arrived already? or you purchased locally?

are these 3dmark11 scores good?
no idea what to make of them.

Ambiguity will get you nowhere.
What 3dmark scores? What hardware?

Ok, now for the million dollar questions. If you're not OCed, why don't you just use google to get stock baselines?
What do you want to compare to? Other stock rigs? Completely different hardware configurations? Also, why do you care? Frankly, if you're not using it to get a baseline prior to OCing, at which point your current score doesn't matter nearly as much as your OCed results, and if you're not using it for e-peen, your 3dmark score literally is irrelevant, and you should worry about real world performance instead.

well myrmidon mentioned that 3dmark11 was a decent entry level indicator if everything is working well. this is the new computer i just built so i posted the scores hoping to see if there was anything in the scores that may indicate any problems. i did in fact google it before posting, but to be honest, i don't know the significance of 100 points and 1000 points when comparing it to other results I see online. more than anything, i just wanted to make sure the scores looked normal.
also, ended up installing the hyper 212+ around an hour ago. I ran prime95 on all three tests and the highest temp i got was around 55C. don't know if that's good for a hyper 212+ but it definitely beats the 90C i was running at before with the stock intel cooler.

The CPU temp is fine. 3dmark is a great indicator, if you have a baseline. Generally, if you're reasonably close, it runs the tests without crashes, freezes, artifacting, or other bizarre shit, and you aren't overheating, then just worry about your performance in games from there on out.
If you're more than 20 points away on scores from identical hardware at the same clocks, you either did it wrong, or have a problem, with doing it wrong being much more likely.
Well, that's a generalization, at 20 points, only applicable for 3d11 P preset, and only in gamer type hardware. Lower end shit, you'd want less variance.
