Ok guys, little update. Got in a new air cooler. Its the Spire Thermax Eclipse II. Sorry no original pics for now, but I just wanted to get everything installed and see how everything worked together. After getting everything back together I put a little overclock on my i7 930. I oc'ed it to 3.6 on 1.25v. After running bc2 for 3 hours my cpu hit 70c. This is pretty respectable, but If I want lower load temps under my standard oc of 4.2 I am going to need a little more help. So I am going to lap my first cpu!!! I will get a few pics during the process as well as get some original pics of my new heatsink setup. While I like the preformance of the factory fans on the Spire, they really dont fit my build well, so I opted to affix some geild wing 12's to it. Here are some stock photos of what I am working with.
This is the heat sink in its stock form
And here are the geild wing 12's I will using as fans (I have original photos of these because I have used them before)
So I hope I can give you another update this weekend with results!!

I want a gpu upgrade too
Little update for you guys, no I havent lapped the cpu or got the monitor mod done yet, just a new keyboard thought you guys might like to see it and know what this keyboard is like.
So I really hate it when I am gaming or web broswing in the dark and I have to bend over till the ketboard is two inches from my face just to know what key im pressing. (yes I still have to look at the keyboard) I dont think I will ever be able to type without looking at the keyboard. I got a mechinical backlit keyboard, the Razer Blackwidow ultimate edition. Here are some pics
Lets not forget the most important keys!!!
Actually Razer made the W,A,S & D keys closer together and shifted them over some. Its going to take some getting used to, every time I want to hit the A key I press caps lock because I am used to it being father away! Not sure if I like the feature yet though.
Also got the Logitech G700 to see if it is any better than my Razer Mamba, or see if I personally like it more. Either way whichever one I like better will stay here and my other one is going to work with me. I need macros now at work with AutoCAD, both have extra keys and I want to assign some of my most common commands to them so I can be even faster and lazier at the same time!!! Heres a pic of the G700
Two mice will enter this challenge but only one will survive!!!
I already like this mouse, it has so many cool features! I have not heard very many good things about the software that comes with it but we will see! If you are in the market for a new mouse and you are a palm grip gamer I would highly suggest this mouse just for its shape alone!

You got the other keyboard I was considering I was stuck between that and the qpad mk 80, but I got the qpad instead

I will have a proper review of the board on pureoverclock.com up this weekend, if you wanna hear me gripe and or rave about it. As well as one for the Logitecg G700 mouse.
