!±8± Thermalright Silver Arrow + 2 Delta Fans in a CM Storm Scout Case

So, there you have it: The Almighty Thermalright Silver Arrow in all its glory. Most air cooling enthusiasts know what this cooler is capable of, but I decided to take it one step further. I replaced the stock fans the cooler came with [a pair of some already nice TY-140 fans and 4 fan clips], and in its place installed some high-performance Delta fans capable of pushing a whopping amount of air up to 240 Cubic Feet per Minute [CFM]! As for temperatures: My Quad Core AMD AM3 965 BE CPU does not go higher than 56*C under heavy load [video rendering] with 1.500V on the VCore and 1.250V on the CPU Northbridge. This is with the fans turned down at a comfortable speed of 2200RPM. My goal is to keep my CPU under 60*C while keeping a high stable overclock for daily use. To do that, I need a very reliable cooler that won't cause me to have a heart attack ( I'm looking at you, Coolit Domino :[ ). The Thermalright Silver Arrow is the right cooler for the job, and with the Delta fans at full tilt, I can knock the load temperatures DOWN further by at least 3*C! I managed to get over my laziness and spent several hours installing this cooler properly. Installing this cooler in a Mid-Tower case is not an easy job, which is why I took it easy for a while. Taking out the motherboard, tidying up the cable management, and then re-arranging some fans isn't something that can be done in 30 minutes unless you've been doing this for a much longer time than I have and can do this with your eyes ...
