let me ask you this...is msi gpu hdmi on the left side of the case or on the back of the case? on that photo the gpu seem to cross the bd-rom, and the bd-rom is facing the front of the case. Confused

Indeed. Seems like an odd case.

if it is in the back, should the gpu be mounted back to back of bd-rom? it seem to be crossing bd-rom in the photo!

It's at the back... you can position the CD drive in either side of the case...

After further testing the MSI GPU... it seems there is a problem. The fan is actually at 100% or maybe 80%... using there tools and even Speed fan or Riva Tuner I can not get the fan to lower it's speed or increase it. I have tried everything. I know for a fact it can do it but no go.

Anyways I hooked up the fan directly to my fan controller and wala! at 40% on my fan controller it's like night and day. And the temps still stay under 40C....

very good temp!

i think your fan needs a 4pin connector to be able to adjust the speed...
the 4th pin is the control pin...

thats why cpu fans have 4pins i guess Smile
