Interesting... I hit a NB overheat last night playing Company of Heroes. After reboot (@ 3.2GHz) it was idling around 95! I backed off the OC and now getting idle around 85. This still seems too high to me (especially at only 2.666 GHz) but I don't think I've ever seen it lower on this board...

Wow I'm just a bit surprised with a 1400rpm fan on the side closest to the cpu and 3 more 1100rpms around it, the NB temps have dropped to ~65! (MB ~40 SB ~50 room:26) Found the screws I needed they were #6x32tpi 2" long holding the Ultra Kaze 38mm in place with some washers it works well...

Just replaced my Scythe Mugen 2 with a Corsair H50. I was having serious issues with the Mugen not sitting well (minor side pressures touching the PSU and DDR3 in my Rogue.. even after grinding down some fins) and core temps getting in the 90s under full load and no OC. Gotta say after a few...

What happened to your ATI gpu plans CrazyRob? I had to return a pair of 4870s "dark knights" because they were getting way too hot in my Rogue. Went with MATRIX GTX 285 in SLI and temps are down while performance is up but wallet hurts more heheh.

Display Port sounds interesting... Is this the successor to DVI then? My i7 is a D0 actually... And when I drop the OC back down to 2.666/1066 the cpu idles at like mid 30-40C now... I think about mid 50s at load. I don't want to leave this pressure on the ram though I've already had 1 DRAM...

There's no difference between console gamers and pc gamers really. How many of you have a console and gaming rig? If you're a serious gamer I think you'd have both, at least for the "exclusives". I prefer sitting on the couch using analog sticks on my PS3 most of the time, except for the...

Sorry Rob didn't notice your sig. BTW I like the blue very classy, mine's red. And to answer xristos.. Yes I disabled the front cathodes by disconnecting the molex for them inside. Good news though, I managed to fit the Scythe Mugen 2 inside my Rogue! It's soo tight! 2 sides of it are both...

Thanks Rob for the extra pic. That looks like tons of room compared to my situation! I'll have to sell this Mugen 2 for a TRUE since bloody NCIX won't exchange for anything different. Did you swap the fans so intake is on the CPU side now? What kind of temps are you getting in there? Also...

How close is the heat sink to the PSU? I can't quite see from the picture you posted. So you couldn't rotate the mount 90 degrees? I'm trying to figure out if that's possible with mine... I have yet to remove the original backplate. Cheers to your kickass i7 Rogue!

Nice, CrazyRob... I am currently trying to shoehorn a Scythe Mugen 2 on my Rampage II Gene inside the Nzxt Rogue... It's so tight! Looks like it may also cover a ram slot, also I'm afraid these OCZ Reapers aren't going to make things easy.

bumping this thread to see any other coolers that can fit in the Rogue... anyone?
