Dodgeviper-
Yeah, I was concerned with vibration noise, didn't happen, but I am going to put a tiny bead of silicon caulk around the copper tubing anyway to prevent galvanic action.
Thanks DV. Got the system up just a few minutes ago. Doing well. Have placed for the first time a 80 MM fan in front of my HDD's inside the Antec HD Drive Can blowing inward. Getting a lot of whine, this must not continue.
I used to run on the web at about 40-41 C, now I am at 35c. The case temps went up about 1C maybe 1.5 C, not an issue.
Once I get squared away I will post more info.
I have many guys to thank for all the help with this, some on this Forum and some over at Amd.mb.com.
So thanks to the guys on ProForum!
I am actually surprised I got it all back together without trashing my CPU or MB or both!
I have lots of comments as to what I did wrong, and right, but that's for later.
