I use the lower cage and have a 120mm fan down there. My raptor drives sit at about 30-32C. The upper cage can support 2 120mm fans, but if you use 2 fans in the upper cage, you cannot put a hard drive there. But the dual fans in the upper cage make for some good air flow by the video card(s).

What are some good voltage values to set the north bridge and south bridge at?

I had the vcore at 1.35, and it seemed to hold fine in 10 minutes in prime95. Load temps were hitting the low 60s though. I wasnt sure if that was acceptable or not.

I have not had any luck hitting the "free" overclock of 3.0Ghz with stability. Leaving all the bios settings on auto and only changing the bus speed, core 0 fails within .04 seconds in prime95. Idle temps range from 35-39 on the 4 cores. Ambient temperature in the room is about 73-75...

what about any of the newer card like gtx260? I am looking for something that I can run at 1920x1200.

System; Q6600 (not overclocked) 4GB of RAM 74GB WD Raptor 2 WD 250GB Drives 1 DVD Drive TV Tuner and 4 120mm fans

I have an Antec Earthwatts 500. Will this have enough power for a 9800GX2?

If I put my video card in the 2nd PCIe x16 slot will it still function? I am wanting to add a PCIe 1x TV tuner card to my system, and the primary PCIe x16 slot with a video card in it blocks the 1x slots.
