Still to wait until the arctic silver 5 does it's thing plus the fans are only running low speed so there's no noise.

It's a Lian-Li PC-101. Bought it Christmas 2006.

Thats the thing I loved about those, since the graphics is at the top it only makes sense since it's behind the case fan to expel the heat. Rather than the card(s) heat creeping up to the CPU.

I'm pretty sure core temps on recent AMD CPU's aren't even worth looking at as they're not a true reading. The only one worth looking at is the CPU temp itself, which is the one AMD use their judge their CPUs limits on.

26 Celcius idle is nice though!

Nothing special I'm afraid...

R.C.Anderson · 10 Jan 2011 at 20:44

@RenoRanes007: What happened to the forth fan on the side? Or does it hit the CPU cooler if it's in?

Yea, it just hit's the cooler, it would close but it would bend the fins slightly on the cooler.

Sorry, but I HATE that case.

Its just vulgar and far too in your face.

On the plus side, cable management is good

alex24 · 10 Jan 2011 at 22:08

Yeah, I was never a fan of that design either unfortunately. Each to their own of course. Also, chocolate sauce?

lol, nothing dodgy! I had a bowl of Ice Cream on the desk

I thought the whole purpose of the hoses at the bottom was if there was any small parts of air inside it wouldn't go back and forth through the hoses. Which made sense to have them at the bottom since they'll always be carrying liquid easier....

Custard87 · 11 Jan 2011 at 15:35

New here... thought I'd add mine

Just replaced my old Akasa Eclipse with a 690 II - loving this case so far. First attempts at cable management, could be tidier but I was in a rush. The X-silent 140s I put it dont shift tons of air so I'm thinking of replacing them with AP141s.

Thoughts?

Cheers!

Seriously, sort out that cable management? Does your PSU have an insane amount of cables or something?

Here's mine:

Yeah it does, it certainly isn't modular that's for sure! I'll do my best to tidy them up though but it's not as bad as the pics make it look lol side panel thankfully fits back on fine. Nice build by the way!
