Hi all,
Recently put my new system together and though i would share some pics.
(I apologise if this is there wrong sub-forum)


Specs as sig, but have had to downclock back to 3.6ghz as i started getting random crashes..eek.

Anyhow, heres a few pics.

My 800d front shot... shall be doing something with the grey dvd drive once my lian-li bezels show up.

Huge top radiator grille, aka dust magnet!...shall be doing something with that soon also.

SDC10100.jpg

my attempt of cable management....not ideal be it will do for now.

my new h50...which seems nice so far.

4gb ocz reaper, 4gb ocz platinum.

Internal shot.... not 100% happy with the rad position...but shall see how it pans out with the pipes at the top.

Nice one mate, interesting dark colour scheme :)

On this pic:

You might wanna run the black cable along the centre behind the mobo if it will fit, just me being picky :)

Also the black cable along the bottom just above the SATA cable going into the mobo, could also be slightly more hidden beneath the mobo :)
 
thanks guys.
im aiming to get it as close as possible to 4ghz, once ive given the mx2 some bed-in time.
If not ill settle for it being back to a stabe 3.8 lol
 
Redgie - those black cables are the 800d's lower fan and hdd fan, unfortunatly the mobo tray doesnt have any openings to the left....so ill have to remove the board to put them under :(

hopefully they can be a bit more hidden when i fit the new gfx cards.
 
3.8 should be more than enough! That's a really nice case, never seen it before :s How much it set you back?

In that case, with the cable running across the centre, you could run it down the left side to the bottom, behind the GFX (There should be an opening) and under the bottom of the motherboard, to come out on the right?

Just a thought :)
 
That case is niiiiiiiice, shame about the price though :eek:

I'm glad I've infected you with my OCD style cable management, it's quite infectious :)
 
If you're looking to upgrade gfx i'd get a 5870/5850 instead of 2 5770's less stress on the mobo so easier to clock your chip and will use less power

You'll also then have an easy upgrade path to crossfire in the future, which would blow away the 5770 setup when you can afford it.

There's also the fact crossfire doesn't scale perfectly yet, and has problems or doesn't work in some games.

Very impressive CPU temperatures though.
 
3 of these showed up today...

so have gone from gaping holes:

to slightly smaller/filtered holes.:
