Show Us Your Rig [3]

[windude99]

Thanks for all of the postitive comments. It was a pain reworking cabke management. Also, feel free to tell me ways I can improve anything with my pc.

Well, if I can add my 2cents, I would say if you want to improve the "look" of the pc, without dropping loads of cash on new Motherboard or memory or chassis and so on, i'd say get a modular PSU, they arent too expensive, and from personal experience (my previous chassis didnt have wire holes or hiding options ither) it makes a huge difference when you don't have to add wires you don't need in your chassis, this will help with the inside look allot.

And just think, You made your build look this good without a fully modular psu, just imagine how awesome it will look with one that has fewer wires?

Other then that, maybe add some lights?

L.E.D. fan My pc sits inside a compartment which should be shown in one of my pics above. I don't know how much the lights would show...
Also, my power supply is still only about 4 months old and don't want to buy a new one. It is just a 380 watt because I'm trying to make sure my pcs not use a bunch of electricity. I really like my psu because it is 80 plus bronze energy savings.

Aah,okay, well then if its hidden anyway I'd say its pretty much done. And the psu's i am refering to is atleast bronze,if not silver or gold, so it would be an upgrade, but not needed if you never show your pc insides

WEI are just numbers for bragging rites. At the end of the day all that matters is that you are happy with it.

New cooler installed

Hey y'all,

Got my EVGA Superclock cooler installed so that I can start my overclocking adventure.

Here's a few shots of the stock cooler and the new cooler.

Thank ya, thank ya verry much.

Yep, it's a 120. Works great and it doesn't get too loud when maxed out. From the way some people were talking, I was expecting it to sound like a Dust-buster (got a Socket A cooler that requires earplugs).

Results of the overclock are in the "Post your Overclock" thread.

My sleeved wires and extra fittings came today, here are a few pics, I will be installing the wires later today.

Now just waiting on the pump and it's full steam ahead. Sorry no reference to heat wanted for a water cooled system. lol

:roflmao: Yup, its going to look so hot! I am also think of swapping the white LED's for blue ones, just at the bottom, the white ones dont give off enough light.

Blue always show's one of my favorite colors to throw in a system I also considered green but come on Blue looks tops hands down

You are able to get a full set of sleeved wired for a Corsair PSU? Are they from NXZT or where?

You can order them from Corsairs homepage for 90 dollars

 

[ganjiry]

they do look proppa nice in white

 

[Andreas W]

They do and they come in a bunch of different colors, but I have never sleeved before so someone could maybe help me out, how long does it take to fully sleeve all PSU cables you need for a computer and how much would the heat shrink and sleeve cost in total?

Because the ones from Corsair is not really cheap but if it saves like 1 or 2 weeks of work they are totally worth it

 

[Alsisgevat]

Trust me, I have tried both, sleeving on your own takes too long, it never comes out right, and you need allot of patients and allot of sleeving. I bought these wires after trying to sleeve myself, its just easier.

So its totally worth that sum of money then. Good to know

 

[Alsisgevat]

In my opinion yes

ello folks LOOK! no dust
i finally got round to installing my led's and had a better clean so heres a couple more pics for ya
i also changed the direction of the fans on my H50 to intake instaed of exsaust and added the bottom fan as an intake. .no change in cpu temps but my gpu is a few degree's c less. now ive definately got a positive airflow n should have the dust well n truely under control.
oh and i had another attempt at gettin the steel and copper mesh in place as filters. this time i got it sussed

 

[linnemeyerhere]

ganjiry,
I like the cool blue air blowing in and getting red hot as it's charged with computing power and exhausted. The filters came out very nice, you smoothed the mesh and trimmed it with precision. I've found that much more often cleaning is needed as these filters do trap a good amount of dust. Have you noticed an increase in case temps for the reduced air flow? Overall a wicked looking rig and set up!
