Cascade Sound Dampening in my case..pics

I just built a computer to OC my 2.4C on an Abit IS7. The chipset fan on this little bugger spins at 6200 rpms!

Anyway, I was kinda curious what automotive sound dampening (Cascade V2) would do. So, I lined my case bottom, and side and top panels and with it.





(The best pics didn't turn out because my camera's flash is dying.)

Keep an eye on the temps inside your case....

That stuff is a good insulator as well as sound dampener.... and things might get pretty HOT if you don't have sufficient cooling in place.

Good advice. I let my fans take care of heat. OCed CPU idle is about 40C and full load is about 56C. Case temps are seldom more than 10C over ambient, so I know they are doing their job. I got a great case for overclocking.
