Solved Partial build started

If it weren't behind the right side panel door of which is completely out of view I would consider heat shrink
Not sure I can be trusted with a heat gun

 

[AddRAM]

Yay new cables, darn more work. These 2 cables could take me a week to install

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

I like the heat shrink idea that the Lady recommends.
I have never found it hard to remove.

True that. It is easily snipped off with a small pair of scissors (such as toenail scissors). Just don't use the good stuff with mastic inside.

I usually use a hair dryer although I have used a butane lighter and, rarely, a small propane torch. I have used matches on small shrinks. When I briefly worked on an underground line construction crew roughly forty years ago, we would use a large propane torch fueled from a 20 lb. tank (the kind often used on large BBQ grills). Those shrinks were freaking huge compared to the ones we use on our computers.

Yeah, but just think about how good they are going to look!

I've got plenty of time before I'm ready to fire it up so I might heat shrink it

I moved the liquid cooler to the front instead of the top where there was no room,
Then rearranged the wiring and tweaked the air flow a little,
Edited = flipped fans

 

[ThrashZone]

I think I have the three top ones ass backwards

Flipped to match arrows Oops

 

[Layback Bear]

I suggest having both top fans as exhaust. Having two fans that close together blowing in different direction could cause nothing but poor directional air flow.

Forget the power supply fan. It probable isn't running most of the time anyway.

Is their a location on the bottom of the case where a intake fan can be placed?

If their is I would try removing the top intake fan and installing it at the bottom.
Or you could have the fans on top both exhaust and add another fan in the bottom as intake.

I would also recommend blocking all holes that are not being used for fans.
That way you can control where the air comes in and the path it takes to the exhaust fans.
It also helps to keep a positive case pressure.

Notice the back panel on my case. You can see the fan but no other holes.
The air must come in the front and bottom and travel through the case and exhaust out the top.
Their are no other way the air can travel.

This is what I call directional air flow. Just blowing air around in circles inside the case is not good enough.

 

[ThrashZone]

Okay yep,
The gpu will have a liquid cooler too and it will be on the bottom pulling in air into the case
Air in the case will be cleaner than on the bottom even if it never comes on
Plus I've already blocked off the bottom area :/

I kind of liked the top thinking it might give circulation
Plus I don't know much about these radiator air systems so not sure how much air they will actually pull in ?

 

[Layback Bear]

Air going through a radiator doesn't block air in any piratical fashion; it just slows the air velocity down. That velocity will vary with fan and radiator combination.

 

[ThrashZone]

Okay
I do have the SP140's on the outside of the rad and the 2 stock ones that came with the rad on the inside little push pull :/

I'll flip the one top one into a exhaust it was a wild idea was toying with

EVGA - Product Specs - EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+

I just got one of these cards and I am not really a gamer. The build quality is outstanding. I paid a little extra to EVGA and got a 5 year warranty as I am likely to keep it that long.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep
I've been looking at a few,
980 classified oc
King pin 980 2.0+
titan x sc with the hybrid upgrade
and of course the regular 980 hybrid

Got a month to figure it out
Hoping the new stuff is put out and really make the decision more fun

 

[Indianatone]

Are you affected by the flooding I have just seen on NBC National news?

 

[ThrashZone]

Yes and no

I didn't bother going anywhere today
But I didn't get flooded out or anything like that

It sounded like Iraq getting bombed until about 3a.m. last night lol pretty wild for veterans day

 

[ThrashZone]

New gpu ordered


Yea I know a bunch of cards are about to be released but this is close to the
one I wanted just not the Super Clocked version of the Titan X


EVGA
- Products - EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN X HYBRID - 12G-P4-1999-KR


Just received tracking number
Will be sending back.

 

[Boozad]

Nice card Mike, I was going to go for one but opted for the 980 Classy instead. Let me know when it gets here and if you need any help installing.

 

[ThrashZone]

I should of probably done the same thing Gav and got the classified instead of playing EVGA and I suppose NVidia's rationing of new cards
All they're doing is upgrading cards with hybrid coolers that didn't have good sells

First the 980 hybrid now the titan x hybrid when they know full well the super clocked are a better seller but make people wait for those to have a already installed hybrid cooler

To top it off for good measure stifle availability of the hybrid coolers too :/
Freaking Scumbags
I should of gotten the ASUS 980 Gold 20th anniversary when it went on sell for 699.00 on Amazon
