While I was at it, I modded the power supply exhaust too! Took it apart and used the Dremel to trim out the stamped steel fan guard. Replaced it with a wire guard to help airflow......... I love to tweak.............:D

The little white clips are from Meijer store........

Wiring layout takes a little time/thought..........

Fury - No prob dude. If you look closely at the clips with no springs, you can see that the curls on one of them are tighter which caused the lighter/loose tension. Typical assembly line product...... Acid - The fan mods do not take much time. The holesaw takes about 30 seconds to cut...

I don't have much Karma either............. :( I'm even reading the Karma Sutra, but it isn't helping...! :grin:

Me want one............ NOOOOOW! :eek:

Motherboards.com has always seemed a little high on prices so I have never ordered from them. I have had really, really good luck with www.newegg.com for a lot of parts. And they rated good at reseller ratings. Also, they are very competitive on prices. For CPU's, I have always ordered...

Now she is running at 145FSB with default voltage! I haven't tried 150FSB yet, but I think I might be able to hit it (I hope!). Anyways, be on the lookout for the above problems. A lot of mobo's have terrible applications of grease on the Northbridge so It's not just Abit. Just a heads up!!!

Man, is that lame or what?!?!? How are we supposed to hit 150FSB with the Northbridge in that shape? Not gonna do it like that! So, I did the job myself and it looked like this when I put it back together. And the new pins have good tension too!!!
