got that board on a similar spec'ed pc, looks fine to me. Is it pre built? The sck 775 are fun when trying to fit the huuuge fan that comes with it.

Apparently the Arctic Cooling Silentium Case does not allow for good airflow. It sucks air via vents at bottom of case. PSU is a custom job as it is fitted in the lower front end of the case.
And also the HDD caddy hangs from 'rubber bands'
