CPU is running well under the limit to be frank. As far as I understand you need CPU cooler if and only if temperature are going higher? Cable management is annoying me as well. Chassis fans are ?#@*&%!^$~ing too short to reach anywhere.
The problem open air cabbie would have taken the whole damn space on table and my room is getting smaller and smaller with more shit I shove into it, I need table space for a Future second monitor. Also cable management is on cards, I was too tired yesterday to use my brain. this was my first assembly ever so it took me 4+ hours to figure out what goes where.
I have not done any tests. From old Caviar black to Cavair green the transfer rate is 90 Mbps. I should try transferring shit form SSD to check.
90 is good for green. I think its more than decent performance. As is you are planning to load all games and OS to the SSD right?
