How do you find the cooling of the Aerocool DS fans?? I'm interested in getting some!

Personally, i'm finding them more than adequate. I was initially running them full tilt at 12v, which whilst this may be too loud for some, they were quieter than my previous SP120 Quiet's at 12v. I've since got some fan splitters and run all 5 of them across 3 of the chassis fan connectors on the board and use the ASUS Fan Xpert software to set custom profiles for them.

When using the computer for simple everyday tasks they are near on silent running at 40%. Once the temps get above 40c the fans ramp up. After an hour on Crysis 3 the other day, temps on the GPU's were around the top 40's, low 50's, which i'm more than happy with considering i'm running a 360/240.

How did you solve the PCI-E backplate not fitting with the graphics card?

Do you just zip tie it down?

My S1.0 have the same problem which is annoying :(

I had to remove mine in the end as it was far too tight when I tried to connect my DVI cables. I'm using some foam underneath the EK-Terminal on my graphics cards to add support that way.

Then where did you fix your graphics card to?

Surely you need a way to support the weight of your two graphics card + block otherwise they will bend the pcb

I'm using some thick foam beneath the EK-Terminal connector on the graphics cards to support the weight for the time being. This works just fine for now, but I need to get in touch with Parvum to see if they can send me a new PCI-E bracket.
