According to the ASUS site:

Fun and flashy, but not particularly useful. The best overclocking will still be done in the BIOS.

Are you still considering going for the Rampage 3? That board really is only for people that plan to overclock to the extreme with water cooling and/or using 3 graphics cards or more. If neither of these things apply to you then you would be much better off saving £170 and getting an X58 board like the Gigabyte X58A UD3R or ASUS P6X58D-E as you will be losing very little.

hi i was considerin the r3 but wont be oc to the extreme or water cooling

The HAF 932 comes with 3x 230mm fans and one 120mm fan at the rear exhaust. THB, you won't need any more fans for the case (though it would be a good idea to control their speed using that fan controller and possibly replace the rear one with a scythe).

For the CPU cooler , using your existing scyte fans again would be great. Though in my experience they can be a bit loud at full speed. With this in mind you may want to put 2 fans on the cooler (you will need this extra set of clips) and reduce the speed of both using a fan controller. With this arrangement you will be contolling 6 fans, you could either get one of these or a use the 4 fan controller listed above and get a pair of these as well.

thanks whats better the haf 932 or the antec 1200

Personally, I think the HAF 932 is the better case - its massive and the fans are excellent.

Some people may say that the 1200 looks nicer - but thats a personal thing, if you like the look of the HAF then you will be very happy with it.

It is also worth mentioning that coolermaster has just announced the new HAF X, which appears to be a newer case based on the HAF design. It is more expensive than the 932 , but it also seems to have more features. Here is a review (and another one).

i like the look of the haf x, any idea when its out

Sorry, i didn't think about the fans at the time

Well it looks like it has been in stock for the last 2 month I know of, nearly bought it myself, but changed last second, case and GPU upgrade sounded better than only case

hi think im gonna get the antec 1200 if its good for air cooling
