My pimmped 400R updated...is that better?

bannedbrother · 25 May 2013 at 14:44

Right so I changed the RAM mods to blue Corsair Vengeance low profiles. I removed the stock Noctua fans from the cooler and replaced them with 2 x 140 Deepcool blues....guess what?...they run my cpu cooler than the Nocs! Not to add they look better! Sorry I am not good at taking pics...but hopefully you can see enough to have an opinion of sorts. All that is left for me to so with this build will be
1) Another 140mm Deepcool blue to replace the Corsair as exhaust
2) 2 more Corsair Vengeance RAM mods in black
3) Another GTX680 in SLI
4) LED's (what colour would you say though? Clear or blue?
Thanks for having a look and your comments are appreciated.
Oh yes, before I forget I will be putting black end on the silver bolts I used on the windows. Still looking for ones that will work ;-)

Very nice that, love the roof window too. have you thought about adding braided cables? white ones would be a good contrast.

I already thought it looked great, it was just a victim of bad lighting/poor photography ;p

I am thinking you have a very good point there tbh....in that case I will go full modular PSU and proper braided cables instead of extensions. The issue I have with the current PSU is that it is semi modular....I would want the cables to be braided all the way through for instance and I will not be looking to strip with leads myself. Corsair do fully modular PSU's with white cables I am sure. Great idea..thanks. I never thought white braids though (I thought blue), but now you mentioned it.....

White led's for sure! blue leds can make any build look cheap imo, white ones light up a case in his actual colour scheme.

I think white it will be then...never used LED in the past...so will be a first

bannedbrother · 25 May 2013 at 22:35

So a few questions if I may?
1) I have 2 x 8GB Corsair blue RAM modules....I intend to add another 2 sticks in there....what colour? Black or blue?
2) Do you think another Deepcool white and blue 140mm fan will look better than the Corsair 140mm exhausting?

Thanks

I wish I had put a little more thought into colour coded parts when I was putting together my build.That blue looks really nice, +1 on the white LEDs as well.

Agreed, I too never thought of colour until the "bug" bit! I will post further pics once LED are done.

very nice indeed

so much better, too blue for my liking but if i mentally replace all the blue with green/red it looks sick!

IMO the blue spiral wrap on the cables isn't a good look. They'd be better just left alone so they blend into the background.
