It was super easy becuase there was so much room to work with. There are lots of holes for cable managment and lots of places to attache zip ties to keep all the cables neat. The cooling is also great ive droped approx 6c is cpu temps form my previous case which was the silcerstone raven.

sweet that has proved CustomPC mag wrong then

Yeah they just tested it without an aditional exhaust fan at the back, i have the h50 exhausting out the back of mine and as i said before the temps are cooler. The case has a built in fan controler for 6 fans and the dial to change the speed is in the hiden compartment at the top of the case which is incredibly handy.

Awesome

I was thinking about getting a new case if my brother wants me to build him a PC, I may get that one

I hadn't opened my case for over 4 months, so I felt like doing a routine check to make sure it was dust free. It was fine thanks to my case's dust filters. I took a few pictures too.

Oh wow, so I just decided to reseat my CPU because the temps were going far too high and I found all the dust. It was clogging my CPU cooler lol. I gave my CPU and both my new GTX 560 a tim replace with MX3, and each dropped by around 5 degrees.

Also I managed to tidy up my cables a bit more, compare these new pics to my olds ones and spot the cable differences

Before pics on the left, after on the right

I would defo recomend one, very happy so far. It is huge though, but it would be stupid if a case called the colossus was small!!

just though i would upload my pic of my first build

(excuse the wires still looking for alternative routes lol)

all wrapped up!

glad i chose the green Zalman over red (awesome cooler!)

money shot of cpu temps (22'C room temp before you ask lol)

full gaming setup lol

what gadget is that your running to show cpu temps?

.temp · 1 Feb 2011 at 05:33

how the hell are your temps so low?!

EniGmA1981 · 1 Feb 2011 at 06:33

He's Santa's next door neighbour lol

Or it could be degrees over ambient and its idle.

33 degrees is nothing unusual.

gug54321 · 1 Feb 2011 at 07:15

the temps are taken using core temp, which i know is not accurate but is realative to the true bios temp which is about 10-12'C above what core temps read, but with standard cooler this gadget was reading 24' so you can copare what the coolers doing. if you catch my drift

BIGBC · 1 Feb 2011 at 08:44

Looks like its reading the motherboard socket temp rather than core temps. Do the individual core temps ever change independently?

Greg0986 · 1 Feb 2011 at 10:52

Take a look at his clock speed

Cool'N'Quiet was enabled. Saying that though, it shouldn't be that low

Not a fan of colour co-ordination are you?

only for split seconds say core 6 can be different to 1 but not for more than half a second, and it does move up relative to the true cpu temps

allways has been this is just a comparison, this same sensor was reading 24 with stock cooler on idle.

i purposely picked the green fan, could have had red, but i like it like this to make the beast of a cooler stand out hehe

wish you'd stop saying temp

i get confused and think you're talking about me
