Corsair 650D Builds (picture's please!)

Cleisthenes · 21 Aug 2013 at 19:28

Hi guys, I thought it might be cool if we were to start a thread showing off the insides of your 650D's. I'll start off with mine! :cool:

Sorry that the quality isn't so great! My camera isn't very good as close up's, nor was the lighting very good!

I plan on adding two sp120's to replace the H80i fans, and an additional ap120 to create push pull with the front fan.
My GPU is a GTX 690, and im rocking the FX 8320!

I hope you guys share!

Let me know if there is already a thread like this by the way!

650D is my second favourite case but don't have one

You should try and find a custom PSU sticker like:

typical! what are you rocking? and isnt that just the old logo that used to be on the side?

i didnt know that custom stickers were a thing!

Hyburnate · 21 Aug 2013 at 19:47

It's the old sticker, but I think it's the different colour, threads like these:

Mine sucks but its a start!!!

Going to start upgrading it very soon after having a i7 920 since they came out.

Currently borrowed my brothers spare i5 3570k running at stock.

I'm modding mine a bit at the weekend so I'll pop some pics once it's done. Nothing too special but any thread on this wonderful case is always welcome!

Cleisthenes · 22 Aug 2013 at 11:21

It doesn't suck! Still looks the part though, I look forward to seeing the updated version!

Awesome, how are you modding it?

Flying_Hellfish · 22 Aug 2013 at 11:32

I'm going to cut the fan grills and edge them (look in the other 650d threads and you will see plenty about the annoying whine). Hopefully I'll also replace the power/HDD LEDs with red ones (red theme). The whole thing needs re-cabling as well.

I must say I am quite interested in these PSU stickers, mine has annoying gold accents which stand out a mile. The modular connectors are also gold though, so might be an issue.

Edit - has anyone used the sound dampening kit from the store? It looks like cable clearance at the back will be severely restricted?

Here's the most recent pic of mine, sorry about the quality the camera on the nexus 4 isnt great.

Nice. You have the same type of PSU as me.

Nice to see the larger 120 rad can fit in the back position there, I am hoping to w/c sometime later this year.

nice, i'd like to w/c in the distant future! Cool to see that it is entirely possibly to do it in the 650d with space to spare!

Finners · 22 Aug 2013 at 11:45

its a snug fit with the top rad which is only 35mm thick, ideally i wouldn't have used the thick rad but i got it for the price of postage and the bleed valve on top came in very handy

cool, the psu stickers seem like a cool idea! i can't comment on the last thing that you said about, bt sounds cool. in mine i moved the hdd cage to the left and put in a CM megaflow.

I've removed the front 200mm grill and its much better, its a less irritating sound now. Need to do the rear but would want to strip the components out to make sure no metal filings got onto anything

I put my disk drives up into the 5.25" bays to get them out the way with a front fan pulling in air over them
