Looks good Spectrus77 and nice pictures. Is there a clear plastic scratch protector on the ROG logo? If so you need to peel it off immediately!

Well thats me finished tinkering with it for now, Corsair ML fans all round, silver cable extensions and a NZXT Hue+ LED setup.
Will be putting money aside for the next few months for what will most likely be a Kaby/Z270/RAM upgrade.

Current setup
2500K with corsair H110i AIO cooler
Asrock z68 Extreme7 Gen3
16gb Crucial ballistix tactical tracer DDR3
Inno3D GTX 1080
Samsung 850 500gb SSD
Crucial m4 120gb SSD
1Tb HDD
EVGA 650 GQ gold rated PSU
NZXT S340 with Corsair ML140/120 fans
NZXT Hue+
Bitfenix Silver braided cable extensions(too lazy to do it myself)

Nice, 2500k still going strong I see.

Looks so modern you wouldn't have known

Yep still going strong at 4.4ghz, bought it july 2011 thats 5 and a half years! but its getting about time to retire it, its crazy how a processor that old can still be relevant today... its both impressive and a little bit sad...

This encapsulates the CPU scene. Hopefully things will shift in the next few years.

New 7700k, mem and Maximus hero.

Tupro · 16 Jan 2017 at 20:18

just noticed the watercooling pipes go out the back, where do they go to?

khemist · 16 Jan 2017 at 20:20

To an external radiator setup.

Silent_Scone · 16 Jan 2017 at 20:31

Every time I check this thread, you're always adding pretty things, Khemist

.

If external why not 1080mm though?

Tupro · 16 Jan 2017 at 20:57

didnt even know external rads were a thing, assuming theres fans on the back of that thing.. doesnt it get a bit loud with it being outside the case?

khemist · 16 Jan 2017 at 22:01

I thought this looked tidier, i had the same setup before but never used it and sold it so wanted to try it again.

No, i run the fans at 600-700rpm most of the time.

Hey guys I have these LED strip on order https://www.itingkam.com/products/viewproduct/be4d6697-5124-4a8e-ab8d-5e8c240b569a and was wondering wheres the best place to put them so they light up the inside of my case as much as possible because my side panel is stupidly dark

Tupro · 25 Jan 2017 at 23:37

i have mine right at the edge of the case, along the back - bottom - front
in this kind of shape |_|
depends on how you want it to light up tbh, i have mine so its all lit up but some people prefer the light on one side only etc

Phil2008 · 26 Jan 2017 at 22:57

Also just had a cool idea,, put some lights all around the underneath of the case, I think that would work quite nicely.

Tupro · 27 Jan 2017 at 11:45

seen that done a few times and it works well and looks nice

Phil2008 · 28 Jan 2017 at 02:39

I got the LED strip today, and its very bright, so hopefully light up my case well, so I will be able to finally see my hardware clearly through the rubbish glass panel.

The LED strip plugs in to a small box that needs to be on the outside of the case for the remote to work,, So Im waiting for a extension lead so I can then fix the box onto the rear of the case, out through a unused pci back plate.

Tupro · 28 Jan 2017 at 10:15

I had a similar setup but having it on the outside and manually switching it on/off bugged me a bit

what i did was, cut off the plug and replace it with a molex connection so it can connect to a molex cable inside your pc (using the yellow (12v) and black (ground) connections)

then inside of having that little box and an infrared remote.. i got one of these, its much smaller so can hide inside your case and it works through RF so you dont need line of sight to your remote

Phil2008 · 28 Jan 2017 at 11:12

Ah I must have mist-read as I did see these receivers with LED strips and thought they all used IR, yeah that would have been better, damn. Do you think that RF will work with my LED strip as that looks much better then having a ugly box fixed on the back of the case?

But the main reason I bought a mains one, is so I can turn it on/off easily with or without the remote, as I have a mains socket right next to me.
