Thanks dude, means allot coming from you.

Got to get some lighting sorted and I am thinking of some brushed aluminium cover for the cables coming out of the PSU.

Nice one ive just bought the the MSI 580 LE and was a bit worried about the way the card sit`s in the case.

Robertnpmk · 23 Aug 2011 at 09:51

Dont worry about it mate, this cooler is awesome, so much overclocking headroom.

I idle at about 37-38 degrees.

Just out of curiosity. did you guys have trouble getting the psu cables to your GFX card. Mine just about managed to fit, was quite a stretch via the back panel. The 580 had the power connections at the top of the card rather than the back of the card/

never used extensions which probably is the better option with the PSU pack?

Robertnpmk · 23 Aug 2011 at 14:48

Nope no problems, plenty of length to my cables.

clone · 23 Aug 2011 at 15:44

All my power cables are blue extensions so im good

Robertnpmk · 23 Aug 2011 at 15:44

Im thinking of doing some modding-

Anyone thought of dremmilling out 3 of the 5.25 bays to put another HDD caddy in there? Wonder how much it would cost for another one.

Hello

I will soon be purchasing the FT02 for my new build. I've been looking for which cooler to use for about a week now and I still can't decide. Its been between the H80/Antec 920 cooler and the D14/Silver Arrow.

I did want this build to have a certain look to it and to be honest I dont like the looks of the D14 or Silver Arrow I think they look ugly and make the case look cluttered (my opinion). So I started looking at the H80 and Antec, after looking through quite a few reviews and comparisons I think I prefer the h80 but on the reviews they crank the fans up to full and it sounds like a jet taking off.

My question is, does anyone have the H80 or Antec and If so whats the noise like when the case is closed? Im looking to overclock i7 2600k to around 4.6/4.8Ghz.

And my second question do you think the Silver Arrow/D14 would still be a better choice over the water coolers?

Thanks

Steven

the onyl white case i have liked was that corsair one, this one not so much.

docsonic · 28 Aug 2011 at 08:38

White Raven looks superb in the flesh.

@MrSteven don't blame you re: the Silver Arrow/D14. The BeQuiet coolers look very nice though. Temps not the very best air cooled but pretty decent. I'm idling at 29/27/26/25. OC max I've reached is 59 (Raven with 2500k & Dark Rock Advanced)

edit: very quiet as well
