Show Us Your Rig [4]

[linnemeyerhere]

I was even going to order the new Corsairs in both formats, but in the end I was just happy to go with what I knew would perform. The case is flush with fans all running at max and you can't hear anything.

Looks like a very nice case, Alan and a very good wiring job. Nice clean look and I see you're all noc'd up, which should give you good performance with a very quiet computer. Well done. BTW, are those the NF-F12's on the radiator?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Yes on the push side with P's on the pull or should I say P as the handle is only going to allow a half height fan which is on order.

OK so waiting isn't my bag ! Here you go kids I just finished a little marathon build and only missing one fan!

Good job on the wiring Alan, it looks very neatly done even with the white making it stand out.
I do like the white cases but I'll stick with my black'n'blue one, since I tend to beat it up.

Well Patrick, if they'd only build one that will hold a 360mm Rad.

Ever since I sat down and and had an honest to and fro about water cooling with myself - I've pretty much decided that if I haven't 'gotten around to it' in 3 years - I'm not going to.

IF I were concerned about rads etc, I would have gone for another Haf or something like that or even one of those behemoth Lian Li cases. (But Lian Li doesn't come cheap )

Then there's always my 'if I did WC' backup plan - drill holes into dull side panel and run rads externally. Run a few strips of LEDs around the RAD/S to turn it in an eye catcher, rather than an eye sore.

Some good tips there. I think I have it now, he showed how to lay out the cut lines 17 times. Then showed how to cut 12 times, then POOF! it was cut out without showing the actual process. Boy that guy's main virtue is being able to talk. :sarc:

I have yet to finish watching one of this guy's videos. Dang but he likes to hear himself talk! He really needs to get a script and follow it.

Real nice build linnemeyerhere. Cool n' quiet, gotta love those Noctuas. I've been looking at components online of late; getting the itch, but it'll have to wait until I win the Lotto.

No hurry on upgrading. The rig in your specs is pretty good as it is. I'm sure it will do most anything you want. Don't let the addiction get you. You'll be broke like me all the time.

Yea I'm pretty satisfied with this rig but will build another when it won't break the bank. I expect there are alot of us Computer Upgrades Broke Me Club (CUBMC) members, or recovering ones, posting here.

My rig is only two years old and does everything I need.
I upgraded to SSD's and my 24" monitor already.

Need more??? No.
Want more? Why of course.

Will I? Probably not.

Britton, I guest that its a dust filter. What are you using for that ?

Do you mean this Boshko? If so it a some black sheer curtain material I have zip ties to the CPU fan. Works pretty good. I also have some on the front and top fans. the top one is held on with magnetic strips and the front with zip ties.

I didn't think about that on the internal fans.

Great idea Gary.

 

[Britton30]

Thanks Mike, it will help keep CPU fin cleaning to a bare minimum. I think I'll engineer a filter for my GPU fan too.

Yes, that. Pretty smart.
How's about airflow?
