Mobo Detailed Specification on MSI Site
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65.html#?div=Detail

4 USB 3.0 ports(2 by back panel, 2 by interanl ports) by NEC® uPD720200F1

So think it will be the blue one... not 100% though.

Edit: Typo of internal (as interanl) is on the MSI site, not my spelling. Link fixed also.

Ok, I'm pretty sure the case is fine. I will just change the wire to see if it works tomorrow and just to make sure do I need to move the fan as it's facing towards the back of the case.

Case<- Exhaust Case Fan <------ Heatsink <- CPU Fan

With the arrows being the direction of flow of air, so cpu fan should blow air in to the heatsink and the exhaust fan should then pull the air through and out the case. And if you add a second fan to the heatsink it should pull the air out the heatsink and blow it towards the exhaust fan. The fans have a small arrow on the edge on one side pointing on which way it blows air.

It says on the arrows that it is blowing towards the exhaust.

Then it sounds right, just to check, as you look at the mobo in the case standing up, it's attached on the right hand side of the heatsink so blowing air into it?

its sucking air "from" the heatsink
so its like this
case<---case fan<---CPU fan<---heatsink

hibernian1875 · 18 Jul 2011 at 21:52

I thought it might be, looking for clarity so that's why I'm asking what side it's on cos it should be on the right hand side to blow air into the heatsink, and if it's on the left then its pulling the air just and not as effective.

I will take more pictures tomorrow.

I think you did a good job. Don't worry too much about it and enjoy your kick ass machine.

Ok so all that need changing is the way the position the cpu fan is. I ran prime 95 for a while and it got to 60 degrees is this normal?

Seems a little high for stock. We will know once you try at overclocking, but I would expect just under 70C for 4.2GHz. Maybe a bit higher if your room is warm.

wrong ************** thread

anuraj · 18 Jul 2011 at 23:38

It's a bit noisy, I will definitely switch the cpu fan.

xiaolulu · 19 Jul 2011 at 07:34

yeah ,I think so！

+1, all those cables will be reducing the air flow a bit, and I hate messy cases

The heatsink and fan look right now though so getting there. Did that blue header work for the USB port?

2 of the usb slots on the top of the case won't work as I've used up all the usb slots on the motherboard
