Do it. Its very nice and...VERY NICE. Easy to build in for a first time builder like me. Looks hot. And I forgot to say ,its VERY nice 😛

Thanks tiny by the way, This case isnt HUGE in person but it sure isnt small...I thought it would be much bigger. Happier it is a bit smaller. Any idea how I can improve the cabling from the front?

Tuck cables away better, pull cables tighter. Use zip-ties to hold things tight. There is always a way to get better cable management.

If you neaten up you back panel by pulling everything tight and using zip-ties will will actually help cable management a lot by not letting slack out into the front of the case.

 

[Mirakledba]

I need to buy more zipties. Will do!

 

[tiny voices]

They will help. Also, note that no matter what you do to neaten up your cable management, I have found that nothing will look as good as having sleeved cables. Even perfect cable management without sleeved cables doesn't look as lean as a good build with sleeved cables.

 

[Mirakledba]

Yeah I really want red sleeved but thats a future thing. Anyone know where StickG1 has gone?

I recently did white sleeved cables for my build and I love them.

 

[Mirakledba]

Post of pics of them?

I have ONE zip tie left...what should I use it on? Haha

 

[tiny voices]

Don't even bother with the one zip-tie. LOL. I believe I used about 25-30 in my current build. I'll take a few pictures and be back with them in like 10 mins.

Anyone have an answer for the question I posted on I think the last page about vcore and cpu voltage?

 

[Mirakledba]

Azz - I dont know TOO much about CPU ocing but I DO KNOW that 1.26v and 4.4.ghz is AWESOME.

 

[Onus]

I have no idea what's up with Stick. I'll be sending him a PM later this weekend though.

 

[azzazel_99]

Yea ran prime for 5-10 mins and it got too 58c. Im trying to find a overclock someone has done with my same motherboard so I know if there are settings in bios I need to disable or enable.

 

[tiny voices]

Here you go Mira, pardon the AWFUL iphone quality pictures.

 

[Mirakledba]

Hey Onus! What do you think of my Rig? cause I posted pics

 

[Mirakledba]

WOW. Nice cables Tiny! I love what you did with the cpu block! Indeed i need mobo power, PCIE, and CPU power sleeved.

I actually don't like the h60 at all. And the reason it looks like that is because this CPU cooler is actually a CoolIT ECO (h60 but re-branded). I just call it an h60 for ease. I will be going back to air cooling for sure.

And thanks! I'm still not happy with how it looks. I'll be ditching the DVD drive soon.

 

[Mirakledba]

Why air? Just get an H100i. Looks good. Make the LED WHITE. Get the SP120 high or quite and use the white rings...get an AF140 non led and put a white ring.

I have a dvd drive but wont it ruin the clean look of the front?

 

[tiny voices]

In general I don't agree with closed loop coolers. In my opinion they are "fake" water-cooling. I bought this H60 because it was $17 and I figured even if I hate it, its worth a try.

I will be going air cooling as I feel is superior is pretty much all ways to AIO coolers. But, this summer, I plan to build a custom loop.

I might just keep the H60 until then to save money, actually. I definitely plan to move away from AIO coolers though.

 

[Mirakledba]

I have 2 fans left....what Do I use them for? 😵 really wish this case had more fan mounts.

 

[Onus]

I'm at work, and may not have been able to see all of them. I will comment sometime later when I am at home and have seen them all.

 

[Mirakledba]

Onus - Sure thing. Thats fine. Ill see it tomorrow then. 2 AM here.

 

[tiny voices]

I have 2 fans left....what Do I use them for? 😵 really wish this case had more fan mounts.

Don't even use them as they will likely make no cooling difference at all and just add to noise. That case you have does not need many fans at all. The two intakes at the front and your H100i at the top as an exhaust is actually plenty of air flow and cooling.

 

[Mirakledba]

Yeah...Ill save them just incase one randomly dies. I also have a cool little thing with all PC part boxes on my dresser so it looks nice. People on PC partpicker are saying Im lucky for paying 360 for that GPU XD

 

[Mirakledba]

before I head to bed, is there supposed to be an LED on the power button? Maybe i put it wrong on the M connector....

 

[tiny voices]

Yes, that is a really good price for that GPU. I personally would have gone with a gtx780 for a comparable card but the 280x toxic is a great card.
