Just got new cables from Corsair, ordered 24pin too after i saw how good these look.
Sadly they dont look that good in pictures.

How is the Vega 64? I'm looking at getting a Vega 56 but I want to wait for the after market PCBs to come in from MSI, Gigabyte, etc.

Works great, I'm easily matching or beating benchmarks I see online. Pump is a little noisy, but it looks cool.

Aftermarkets won't be out till end of next month.

I think that's why I am not a fan of AIOs. If I want to go liquid I want to build a full liquid CPU - GPU loop at some point, but I'm not sure if I'll do it on my Ryzen rig or my Intel rig.

Its not really that loud its more like "oh whats that faint hum"? Really only notice it if you're looking for it.

This might look like a Downgrade but at least my new cheap "Generic" case is 360 compatible :

This definitely looks like something out of the 70's

,,

this is my whole thing , please do comment . But not on cable management , that's depressing

Nice case; as far as your old case, I have a Cosmos II; it is quite a pain to move around as well. Thing is built like a tank. Nice lighting on your case.

Bought Avermedia Ballista Trinity speakers for my Skylake build and Cablemod SE-series cable combs for my Skylake and Haswell builds.

I added cable combs to 24-pin, EPS and PCI-E power cables. Haswell build before and after.

The most noticeable improvement is with 24-pin power cable. Skylake build before and after.

Here are my old 5.1 speakers (ColorsIT SP-968) next to my new 2.1 speakers.

I love how perfectly my new speakers match with my Skylake's color theme. Also, they sound great.
(At the bottom left corner, my AMD build can be seen.)

Those two are the rear left and right speakers. And that's not elastic band but it's actually excess speaker wire that i coiled around the speakers.
 


Thanks for the clarification. I thought you'd discovered a method of controlling the cone vibration.

 
Well finally got around to putting the 3rd Gen I5 machine into a new case. Just a basic workstation machine for email, browsing and some very light games.

i5-3450S
Noctua NH L9X65 Added also
Intel BOXDQ77MK MB
8 GB G-Skill Trident DDR3 2400
Seasonic M12II 650W (SS-650AM)
Seagate Constellation ES 1 TB Hard Drive
DVD Drive
DVDRW Drive

Here is the 13 YO Cooler Master Cav 3 case.... Cooling is really bad and no cable management to speak of and no filters.

Here are all the parts cleaned up and Noctua NH L9x65 added:
