****Show Us The inside of your Case!****

Idle/general running temps range from 35 to 45 really depending on what software I use to check lol. I don't think they're all Sandybridge compliant yet but in game I've not seen temps go above 61/2 yet.

That's with the Zalman fan controlled at about 65% via a fanmate.

Quite a big speed boost from your last CPU/Memory?

Feels it the especially way apps and Windows in general is behaving and that's without reinstalling Windows

Nice build there Khaaan, a little jealous. My Q6600 is feeling old

 

[wonderlust]

Just moved my media server/centre PC into a larger/cooler case.

Coolermaster Elite 430 Black not a bad case for Just over £30 :-

Sorry, what was that?

Looks a lot nicer now

Thanks mate. I think I needed a little ego massage after all the problems I had w/the new case!

Lovin' it now though

I really would have not upgraded until Xmas earliest had the OCZ PSU not died and taken the CPU/Mobo with it so chances are whatever is out at Xmas and if you upgrade then I will be the one being jelly as I will be on this setup for at least 18 months

Stick it on the aluminium corner just above the hard drive cage.

Happy now?

Argg cable management?! :D

 

[mrk]

Oh they are managed but unlike some people's cases above the Lian-Li PC7 doesn't have areas to tuck cables away and the Corsair modular cables are not easy to fold safely in a corner

Same case... Non modular

 

[mrk]

ok ok, I will do something tonight, wait and see!

I'll loop the PCIE gfx power cables and remove the backplate module for eSATA as that alone has about 5 flying cables and they're orange and molex so stand out and make a messier interior

Need to get a USB3 HDD docking station now though

 

[V_R]

I have that Lian-Li too...

See sig for more...

Still not done anything with the 8-pin....

 

[mrk]

Maybe I should have gotten non modular lol, still, I think I can work some magic

 

[Kosmiche]

Every post with a coolermaster 430 makes me want one. You seem to be able to cram so much into it, amazing stuff.

 

[Kosmiche]

@ VR can you not route the cable under the add on cards? There is normally a gap between the back plate and the card itself.

 

[mrk]

You can , that's how I did it, it roots under both the Xonar and GTX460 nicely

How come the HX850 fan is on the top side btw too? Mine on the HX750 is on the bottom?!

 

[twist3d0n3]

you turn it upside down?

 

[mrk]

But...the label is right side up?

Unless....

THE LABEL ON THE OTHER SIDE IS UPSIDE DOWN?!

erm, yeah, i try to remove all labels/stickers, dont freak out

 

[mrk]

Surely though you want the PSU to be pulling through cool air from the bottom of the case rather than the hot air from under the gfx card? Has it made a difference to down facing orientation?
