Those are the 140 performance fans. I got those to replace the Noctua P14 as they shift more air.

Not tried the 120sp's was thinking about 4 to Push/pull on the H100 but not sure If I need to really. The 140's are pretty good I find and certainly pump more air out.

I noticed you have the 650d. Here is the one I just got rid of but helped cooling a great deal.

You mean helped cooling the way you have it setup now? I dont have no real problems with cooling at the moment but i was just wondering because they will look great with my current red black theme and just wanted to pull some extra air through the H60.

Thanks for showing me that tho

No in the 650d. I took the cages out and stuck in a 140mm fan blowing right in there. really helped temp of GPU and CPU. I liked the SSD layout too from doing it.

Lol just on ebay now trying to get one so I don't need the section of Asus motorway I'm using at the min. I always sell them with my Mobo.

Looks good, what are the mouts for your SSD's in the 800d? Are they fixed with scrwws or sticky pads?

I cant decide what case to get between the 800d or switch 810, I fancy a change from my MM UFO.

Pgreenwo · 2 Jun 2012 at 22:50

My SSD's are mounted with these

I love the 800d but the 810 also looks like a great case. I just like Corsair. I had the 650D but thought I would go XL on it.

Very nice

Did you not fancy puling the SSD'S in the hot swop bays

Pgreenwo · 3 Jun 2012 at 00:59

Hot swap has issues with Force GT boot. I use them for system drive and the HS wont find them. common issue apparently. I took the sata III plate off but I do use the HS for a few of my photography drives so decided to ditch it with SSD's

Pgreenwo · 3 Jun 2012 at 13:31

Now Done. Used the Corsair braided PSU cables

almostgfx · 3 Jun 2012 at 13:37

Looks really nice. Finished with those cables

Black/Red is my fav colour scheme. Thought about adding
any lighting in there?

Pgreenwo · 3 Jun 2012 at 15:08

I just have 1 small ccl in the foam mount I use to block out the optical drive bays. The mobo gives a bit of light too.

I might just steal that SSD mounting method from you for my 800D, looks brilliant!

Did you source the fans in the UK or order direct from Corsair? I see those SP120 HP fans kick out 3.1mm/H20 static pressure, should be good for my XTX360 without looking as fugly as my Vipers.

Very very nice build

Pgreenwo · 3 Jun 2012 at 16:57

I got them in the UK. I'm really pleased with them. I replaced my noctua P14's I'm thinking of getting the 120's for my H100. Thanks for your comments

Had a search, found them in the UK too (I wasn't looking hard enough the first time around). Seems that the two packs only cost a few quid more than a single GT1850 too, I'm sold.

Looks very nice, a lot neater than my 800d. Although mine is watercooled.
