Who you talking to Nate, I don't see a post from lchialeux....fumes starting to make you trip, dude!

and we have a working 295! nice!

heh... yea.  and now I am going to bed, and 12 exactly.  It has been a very long past few weeks and I swear I will kill anyone who tries to wake me tomorrow

Here is the Megahalem: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835242001&cm_re=prolimatec-_-35-242-001-_-Product

Here are it's specific dimensions: http://www.prolimatech.com/images/3d_drawing.png


I essentially need to know the dimensions between the socket's front edge on the Classy and the ram slots. You use the red slots first, correct? So i need the dimensions from the front edge of the cpu socket to just before the first red ram slot. Also, knowing the height of some of this ram would be nice...
 
This is what i have gathered from the above photo. The base is 42mm wide, and the whole thing is 74mm wide(thick depending on how you look at it). So I can assume that from the edge of the base to the edge of the cooler is 32mm. Then add the fan that is 25mm thick. So a total thickness of 57mm (lets say 60mm to be safe). So from the edge of the cpu socekt to the first ram slot needs to be less than 60mm.
 
Could you also take a measurement from the back edge of the cpu socket to the vreg cooler? That looks like it might be tight too. (Needs to be <60mm also).
 
Actually could you also do the other sides too? So from the bottom edge of the cpu socket to the nb cooler, and from the top edge of the cpu socket to the edge of the board.

EDIT: I think i found my answers.
This thread has some very nice pics to answer what i am asking:

But actually i do still need one measurment. I need from the top of the cpu socket to the top of the board. I am worried that the Megahalems might interfere with my case (PSU is top mounted).

Sleep was GLORIOUS!!! i havent slept this long in over 2 months!  woke up twice during the night for her, but got to sleep in past 10:30!  i feel like a teenager again!    Rabid, I will get you the ram dimensions.  Unfortunately I just bundled up my CPU so I can't help you with the other dimensions. 

Hahaha I just slept for 6 hours last night...

Mhm Vantage... I'ma testing low voltage/high clocks. Trying yet again to max it. Installed my other 2 Ultra Kaze, and it cut max load temps by 8*C, not bad eh?

8° can make or brake a run.

Haha totally. Also, voltage is still dropping. 

80°C?!  WOW your gpu's are getting hoooottt!

heh.  got YOU colder.  I hear that we don't need to use the sli ribbon cables anymore?  or am I hearing things. 

yea, confirmed with tech support.  you can go SLI without the cable, but you will loose some framerates.  Obviously NOT the desired application with me.  It has taken me the better part of today to prep this single video card, and it would be so much easier if I didn't have to worry about the SLI ribbon cable.  Now I just deal with it

Fired up my bong cooler FINALLY.  need to shorten the hose length CONSIDERABLY.  its going through 40 feet of hosing through a 350 gph pump and going well over 6 feet high.

that's what your sitting at? 75 degrees

so what kind of runs is it doing?

aight...talk to you tomorrow.

enough to fry a t-bone steak on...vrm's get up to 150c
