But for you... Not quite free, but low cost defo and great end effect: 5.25' bay cover. Black acrylic, or black HIPS there :) That is what I would do in your PC case :D

Yea ive been playing with ideas on the drive. I was thinking some black acrylic stuck to it or was tempted to take the outer case of it and try painting it with plastic dip stuff
 
so I was playing with Msi afterburner earlier.
Ive upped the clocks on the 970 from standard.

core clock has been raised 107Mhz to 1600Mhz and memory is up 95Mhz to 3600Mhz ( am I right in thinking this gets doubled? )

the results have been fine. Ive noticed if I go any higher I start getting a drop in frames and some stuttering. I haven't touched the voltage
Im fairly surprised as my temperature has remained pretty much the same if anything I think its slightly cooler but this could be the extra fan and the CPU air cooler making a difference.

not really a system update but more of an internet update...

I live semi rural Ive been here for 4 years come January and do love it here.
but where I lived before 30Mb/s was normal for me as we had V/M so when we moved to where we are now and the fastest speed I could get was between 6 to 7Mb/s on a good day it was a bit of a shock to the system.. had me half tempted to move again!!

so today my internet went down for about 20 minutes and when it came back on I thought the pages were loading a bit quicker.. so done a quick speed test to see what I was getting..

yes I know it will be slow compared to what others are getting.. but after nearly 4 years of 6 to 7Mb/s an extra 10Mb/s on top I'm noticing the difference!! Im well happy!! :D
 
wee extra added.. the ssd is still behind the motherboard tray but will be ordering some nice braided cables for that then getting it mounted at the front..

but now have some red/black braided ATX and PCIE cables thanks to savagesam117

going to give it a clean out and tidy everything up at the weekend if I get chance.

Looks great mate, cables do make such a difference to finishing off a build!

Now if only Phanteks did a big windowed side panel to see your components better... ;)
Click to expand...
yea I must admit.. I really do like the case but a bigger window would make a difference.

Im looking to get some black/ red 140mm fans for on the cooler and the rear of the case.

after that again some black / red 120's for the front I was thinking on getting some red lighting in there to go with the red light strips in the mobo.

I don't want the front fans to light up though as this would then cause the front of the case to light up red where as I dont want that. I just want a red glow inside to brighten it up a bit.
 
also my Phanteks pwm lead has stopped working.. so Ive had to plug the fans in direct at the moment so there running at full speed...

so Ive been looking at some PWM fans to replace the ones on the cooler and rear of the case.

idealy I would like either black/ red or just plain black but have spotted the Thermalright TY-143 fans which look good but no black on them..

I would move PCI-E cables back to right side. Now it looks a bit worse than it was. Instead of moving I would grab cable combs, which that does help to keep nice routing of them :)
Small cable comb
or
Large cable comb
depends on cable thickness ;)

Except that - rig shine bright like diamond :D :D
Great job!

Yea I was in 2 minds after I done it. I kept looking at both pics comparing them.. I think if I had 2 cards in Sli then I could get off with bringing the cables up from the bottom but it looks odd with a single card.

Ive been thinking about the cable combs just hadn't seen them so cheers for the link.
 
yea Im happy with the way it look's

both the power and sata cable are braided and connected.

Ive not thought about an inverted case. I did look at them a while ago but none jumped out at me.
to be honest I like the Gainward but im hoping to upgrade at some point this year.

Awaiting Pascal? Or just the same generation, but level up?
Click to expand...

Im waiting Pascal and ill see how it compares to the 980ti and then ill decide from there.
the 970 is a great card but the vram will start to hold it back within the next 12 month with newer games I would say.

it does play all my current games on ultra at around 60fps upwards so its not to be knocked at the moment.

Must be a good job if I couldn't find the one of them. Nice :D

yea I managed to get both cables sitting inline with each other and both are braided. the sata cable being that bit slimmer gets hidden behind the power cable.

Ive been thinking about trying to get some braiding put over the usb3 header cable as it stands out like a sore thumb..

not a big update but I cant remember if I ever said that I got a little coil whine off my 970 just on certain games it wasnt anything major but I could hear it..

well since fitting the new psu I haven't heard it since.. so that's a bonus.
 
so I managed to do a deal on my Gainward gtx970 for an Asus Strix Gtx 970 OC edition with the backplate.. loving the new look compared to the gainward and it overclocks so much better and runs a lot cooler.
