HAHA, thanks p0Pe, yeah so am I lol, the stock DFI one cools much better and looks better lol. I will keep it and perhaps use it in a future HTPC build.
Sorry guys, no update as of yet, had to get new speakers installed in my car today and now it's raining so I don't want to wander down to the shed lol. I have short days of uni for the rest of the week as my practical classes don't run for the first week so perhaps tomorrow or Friday I will be able to get some work done.
