Hi. I know this is quite an old thread, but I'm having the same problem as the OP regarding the Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B. The only retailer I can find that sells official Scythe Clips is across the country. I don't really want to pay shipping for $3 worth of clips =( Does anyone have any suggestions on...

With an H67 board, wouldn't a K-series CPU be a bit of a waste? You wouldn't be able to use the overclocking features of the CPU.

Hi all, I have an Antec case, with a single 90mm fan in front, and a single 120mm fan at the rear, in typical locations. I have a Seasonic X-650 power supply.

My question regarding the p183 v3. Have they made a change to the installation procedure for the top exhaust fan? SPCR reviews of the original p183 indicate that this fan is more prone to higher noise...

Sorry for double-post, but I've been thinking about this again. after doing more reading, I was thinking of using Scythe or Nexus 120mm fans. Also, what do you all think of Fractal's R3?
