as the geforce 560 amp has enough power to run bf4 and ME 3 with max details, it's worth a try running some games on it.
I'll check this out next week and share the results with you all here at the forum.
maybe I can get fraps running so you can see the performance.

I need a RAM fan, just burnt my fingers while adding modules. :pinch:

does it run of a motherboard fan header? does the bios let you slow it down a little?

yeah, it's connected to one of the mobo headers.
I could turn on the smart fan stuff in the bios, but I'll try to avoid that and use speedfan instead to set them to a slower speed... ;)
Ok, Speedfan won't do this like I want to.
The biggest noise is caused by the chassis fans, they run at full speed. I need a Y-Cable to connect both of them to the Aerocool and not just one (measure the power first to not exceed 4,5W on the channel).
And if it's still loud, than I'll leave it this way.
It's an overclocked machine, and hey...
where is power, there is noise. ;)
