Fans come with rubber mountings and a RPM controller

The line-up is consisted out of 80, 92 and 120mm fans, but what makes this product unique is the fact that the fans come with Nanoflux bearings. This type of bearings brings an interesting innovation – you can remove the blades to clean the dust, and also clean even the most hidden part of the fan casing itself.
Long story short, Nanoflux is nothing else but hermetically sealed bearing, meaning it is dust-proof and water-proof. In other words, it should not start squealing. Ever. In my humble opinion, if there is one annoying thing in whole computing experience – squealing fan or a card takes pole position. In the past five years, I’ve spent at least $200 and trashed fans from Zalman, Noiseblocker, Cooler Master and so on and so on. All because of squealing. Well, I’ll give this one a go.
Personally, I am a cleaning freak when it comes to PCs. Every three months, I take the whole rig apart and clean even the most hidden part of the computer – dust and I don’t go hand in hand. We’ll see can Gelid rise up to the task and produce a fan that will stay silent at least through its warranty (5 years).

I won’t go into fashion decisions, as I am not a big fan of acrylic cases, but I wish my friend all the best when it comes to cleaning up.

When it comes to the CPU itself, Intel Core i7 965 (codename: Bloomfield) works at 1.6 GHz in SpeedStep mode, and works at 3.4 GHz by default. E.g. it works in ASUS motherboard at 3.4 GHz by default, since the board came with Turbo mode on.

Intel Core i7 965 works at 1.2 Volts, the board was feeding the CPU with 1.208V, bus speed was supposed to be 133 MHz, the board was giving out 135.9 MHz (which means QPI is clocked at 3.23 GHz instead of 3.2 GHz), but if you want, you can turn the Turbo mode off. Since Core i7 Extreme is made for overclocking anyways, expect that this system will undergo a nice air cooling upgrade and then target 4 GHz on air.

One thing is certain: somebody is really, really lucky

You are free to use images from the gallery, just please link to this post. If there are interested, resolution is 2048×1536, since all pics were taken with a Sony Ericsson phone. And yes, my Nokia N93i would make way better ones

P.S. If you wonder why Intel chose the name 965 for its Core i7 series, reason is very simple: company wanted to revisit its failed NetBust marchitecture and relive the glory days. Pentium EE 965 was a 150W consuming (that was advertised, reality was a bit different… for the worse) monster that failed to beat AMD processors that worked at much less clocks… now, Intel is challenging AMD with the new 965.
