Hi Skeez. I remember when you had an 'o'.I just didn't want to bother with it. I already had the motherboard screwed in, so I would have had to take that off to attach the back piece, then apply thermal paste and screw everything in to the fans and motherboard.
The CPU fan that came with the i5 was already equipped with thermal paste and it just had those snap in buttons, so the whole thing was attached in a matter of seconds. If I ever feel like overclocking it down the road, I may slap the H50 on there.
ps - Hey chewie.
What with the power CPUs draw nowadays, stock fans help keep the CPU VRMs cool especially if the board's fitted with 4+1 rather than 8+2 phase.
Don't know how your board is kitted out but it looks like a four-pin ATX12V connector so if you go back to the waterblock and overclock you might want to blow some air over the VRM heatsink.
Then again, it might not be needed at all since I've only really read about the pitfalls of overclocking AMD stuff.
Quick question... do nVidia cards output sound through the HDMI port? I heard they didn't and went ATI.
Their folding is heaps better than equivalent Radeons but I like to have sound through my TV if that's where the video is played.

NVidia cards since the later 200 series have 7.1 HDMI Audio (V1.3b) with bluray audio support. This is the 210,220 & 240 cards and above ( the earlier 250GTS, 260GTX, 275GTX, 285GTX & 295GTX did not). Some earlier NVidia cards had audio passthrough from the onboard SPDIF port on the motherboard. It depends if it was implemented by the manufacturer, but 9400GT, 9500GT & some 250GTS cards had this option.

Ah. So I could go for a 4- or 5- series card, then.
Unfortunately, I was told my position at work is being made redundant recently and have to wait to see if I've still got a job in a few weeks. Major bummer.

Mmmmm, that is a sexy build. I really like that case.
