The New Cases Gallery

[Vegeta]

What do you guys use apart from cable tie to sort cables out? What type of tape is that?

 

[Shashman]

My new fans installed, all 7 of them


/snippety snip snip

I know we're in a heatwave, but watercooling and 7 fans?

Surely those top 3 ones are next to redundant considering the low heat emissions from the CPU and GPU?

Seeing all these nice cases with water-cooling and cable management and nice colour schemes, makes my efforts seem inferior by comparison

Nice rig "Liquid_Entity" but for the love of god and all things holy, get a different cpu cooler !!!! ^^

 

[Liquid_Entity]

I was supposed to get a free arctic cooler with the mobo but it never arrived so had to use the Intel one. Defo need to get a new on there as it looks hideous.

Just got to find one that will fit with the memory chips next to it. Any ideas, preferably in a red colour such as the Phanteks.

Just to warn you, the red Phanteks heatsink has bit of a 'pinky' tinge to it, it's not as red as it looks in the pictures.

I wonder about this one then...

Without being a bearer of bad news (somebody correct me if wrong), I think you will struggle to fit anything other than a self contained water cooler because of the fact all your ram slots are taken up by tall ram. So the above or anything similar to the one you linked probably won't fit.

 

[Liquid_Entity]

I knew that might be the case well as I am not overclocking the thing (for now) I'll just leave as is until I can afford the water cooling of a H60 or something.

Unless G.Skill have completely changed the size of the heatsink on their memory, I can confirm that most larger air coolers will fit. I was suprised by my Ripjaws memory to find that although it looks large, its actually just fine. Fitted a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro, and also a Noctua D14 - didn't have any bother with either conlicting with it.

EDIT - I should add I have just changed my memory, in case people think I'm talking garbage as my sig states I have Kingston installed!
