guys what do you think with this buiLd ? its still kinda fresh .. its my first time to build one .. just tried to overclock to 4.0 earlier..

Hmm.... SAINT get yourself a Asrock 970X Extreme4, I wanna see how that goes. Defiantly looks good, and seems if it follows the Extreme4 trend of SB it should be a great board for the money or you could test the 990FX version.

Though I may stick with MSI since you say it is pretty good, I have the 790FX GD70 which is a whiles back, but defiantly has served me well w/ my 955. But truly I never will use all the slots.

@ -jB - pickup a bag of cable ties (black and possibly red) and get to work with all the bundles of wire. you can try to hide some more wires under the mobo and the mobo tray.

don't be offended but for a first time builder thas good, but you can do better. and about the lights - try to have them in contrast - e'g the majority of lights are red/orange. Pick up some white led fans and use them in place of the top fan. For a moment there, i thought that blue light was coming form the top fan - actually a blue led from the mobo.

maybe an enermax white led fan to replace the fan of the coolermaster hyper 212+ fan.

I think that blue object behind the rig at night is your monitor?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Might as well join in I guess lol,
sorry bout the mess, this isn't normal,
I had to replace my rearfan so haven't had time to feed wire through mobo yet, and the optical drives only in there cause I need to re-install Wow (goodbye 9 hours of my life)

Plus looking at it on screen, its cleaning time too
doesn't look dusty Rl though, wierd
**Edit yeah Jb, a little work on those cables and your rockin' mate

oh , thanks for the tips.. i bought a bag of cable's already.. and it looks good at the back only and i did used the back of the mobo tray to put the other ..

so what do you think ? do i have to clean it up more ? ;(

 

[Lutfij]

ok - now what you could do is - isolate the electrical wires from the data wires - that way you can already segregate the bundles of wires into smaller bundles making them easier to manage.

Cablemanagment isn't about crumpling wires together in frustration, rather take some time - an hour or so...and try to think the path of the cables through.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

/Mystic wisdom voice...

To harmoniously route the cables, you must BE a cable, think like a cable, feel like a cable, /waves hands around mystically
balance and flow are your watchwords (Random Yoda grunt), sometimes you cannot hide the cable, but if it is neat and tidy, it doesn't offend the eye to see it...
mysticism over

My newest build!

http://s1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc465/caddylover72/Sabertooth%20990fx%20build/

Specs:
AMD phenom II x3 720@3.5Ghz
Asus Saberthooth 990fx
G skill 2x2gb 1600Mhz cas9 1.5v ddr3@1600Mhz 8-8-8-24-1T 1.65v
Seagate 500gb sata III HDD
LG DVD/CD burner
NZXT Gamma
HD 4770 512mb
Antec BP550 550w semi-modular PSU (my other build now has a PC power n cooling 750w instead of this antec)
Cooler master hyper 212+ push/pull setup
Two 120mm intake and two 120mm exhaust fans

Finally finished this build as I've been piecing it together for months. Let me know what you think.

The cable management was very tight and the 212+ fits by about a mm. But for only $37 I really like this case.

Take psu back out and spray it matt Black,
I know, I know, its a damn pain re-doing cables just for that but it will make the look trust me

[boiler1990]

Unless you've got 4x6990s (which I don't believe is possible in a system), you should be using 6970s in CF...
