As title please,

Thanks all

That enermax fan is a bitfenix fan now.

Liam · 1 Jun 2013 at 20:24

Stunning mate, thanks. Do you find that the bottom fan helps at all?

Something Else · 1 Jun 2013 at 21:32

yea certainly helped the gpu temps, its an overclocked 7970 so it puts out some amount of heat!

did you want to know anything else about the case?

Nice fan controller.

Still dont get how people live without a optical drive.

Most people just have an external

Why is that better? I'd rather have a internal than something else cluttering up my desk.

I never used the one in there, When I modded the front to accept 2 140mm fans I couldnt use the fan controller in the bottom drive bay as part of it contacted the top of the fan, so The fan controller went in the top bay and I removed the optical drive as it was barely used. Haven't missed it tbh. If i need to its a 10 second job to whack a sata cable into the motherboard and plug a cable into the psu.

Because you throw it in a draw out the way and only get it out when you need it, mine hasnt been out of the draw in over 6 months.

Yea will easily take a h100i and will do push pull if your ram is low profile

Yup nice thing with the arc mini is the top mounting point is offset rather than in the center of the case, so the radiator and fans clear you memory slots very nicely.

No thanks mate, I appreciate the images you provided me. I'm going to order one tomorrow

Do you have a fan on the bottom of your PSU?

Cheers

Yea the PSU has a fan, its a Seasonic X-series 850w The fan doesnt spin at all when the pc is idling and barely comes on at all when gaming, and then other things are creating more noise than the psu.

Here is my system right now:

I7-3770K + 8Gb 1600 Ripjaws x + Noctua NH-C14 + Sapphire VaporX 7950 HD

I had a few troubles with the cooler and was forcde to put the graphics card in the 2nd PCIE since there was contact between both in the first slot, and now the card does not have much space to breathe, and i also lost PCIE 3.0 since the 2nd slot is only 2.0.

That is stunning, Love the Fiery Hell effect below and heaven colour scheme.

I need to research everyone's case and see what I can come up with.

Liam · 5 Jun 2013 at 20:52

What's that light strip that you've got installed mate?

avatar12m · 6 Jun 2013 at 13:00

its a 12v led light strip you order it in set lengths its sticky backed , choose the colour you need then solder a 3.5" size or similar hard drive power connector on then plug it in your pc.

costs about £10 for what i did.
