Nice build! I wish power supply manufactures could re-design smaller cables though or something new.

Have you got the PSU and CPU fan working against each other? Would it help if you had the fan sucking through the heatsink and into the PSU for it to be dumped out the case?
Or use a bigger fan?
Just a idea.

Damn, I love that case!

Oh right. Maybe a bigger fan then? Seems like there is room for it.
It's in my signature already but here it is
Form Factor: mITX
Manufacturer: Silverstone SG05
CPU: i7 3770K @3.0Ghz 0.792v
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) Kingston HyperX Blu
SSD(s): 120GB PNY SSD (removed the 3.5" bay to improve airflow)
GFX: KFA2 GTX670 GC OC (1006mhz)
Temps:
At all stock speeds (3.5Ghz on the CPU and 1110Mhz core clock on the GPU), when I ran a full torture test (prime95+furmark) I was getting 85C on the GPU and 105C on the CPU
which is waaaaaay too high.
I've now undervolted the CPU by 0.135v and downclocked it to 3.0Ghz (no noticable performance drop) and the CPU is now running at 54 degrees C with only prime95 running. GPU is also limited to 80% of TDP with a 0.1v undervolt (basically a simple way to underclock the GPU using afterburner - this basically just limits the core clock to 1006mhz (still higher than stock 670) and stops boost from activating.
Now under the GPU+CPU stress test I'm getting 68C on the CPU and 78C on the GPU
I should also note I'm using the stock intel cooler at the moment which I plan to replace at some point soon. Not sure what cooler to get at the moment but I'm looking at the Silverstone NT06-E or pro. May well swap out the default case fan as well but I'll have to have a look into that. Hopefully my temps will improve a bit with these updates.
Crysis 3 on 1080p maximum settings aside from anti-aliasing which is at 1xSMAA - around 40fps
CPU maxed at 55C
GPU maxed at 78C

I do love a good SG05 build! It's madness how you've got a beefy GPU and an i7 in there. I miss my Sugo.
Now that is how a prodigy should look like, hope mine looks like that when I get round to it!
10/10
Out of interest whats the GPU?
Thanks very much, GPU is an Asus GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II OC.

Congratulations on your very neat and tidy cable bundles... and also for the colour co-ordination!

That build vipstarr is awesome. Would love to build something like that for my mum who is in DIRE need of a new PC. Perfect little size in a nice little case
Thanks!
I'm really happy with it, It's not used for gaming and is VERY quiet, the only noise i can here is from the USB drive sitting on top.
The supplied PSU fan makes no noise and the the stock cooler is silent as well, certainly no where near as bad as I thought it would be.
The case itself is fan-less and the temps sit around 37 celcius.

Can see the advantage of being able to mod cable length and sleeve.
