testing new stuff

[Thund3rb1rd]

really my only question is

I will be using aftermarket air cooling for my cpu (geminii), so do I use the stock cooling that will be coming with my cpu (e2180)? or go ahead and install the geminii?
the test will of course be on top of the mobo box, so I would have to make sure the geminii isn't flex stressing the mobo at all, but that's what wives are for right?

mobo = ip35-e
ram = crucial ballistix ddr2 667
vid = xfx 8600 gt
psu = earthwatts 430

Don't put it on top of your motherboard box, unless you turn it inside-out and there is non-coated cardboard on the inside. Some of those boxes, believe it or not, can be conductive.
