Show Us Your Rig [6]

Thanks guys. Thats a great idea Steve, gonna do that in just a few minutes.

The only problem it causes is getting the fan wires back inside the case. Nothing that an ingenious young man like yourself can't figure out.

I got it mounted outside now. My case has tube holes so no problem routing the fan wire. I also managed to get my power connector and fan cable routed behind the board up top. It does free up some real estate inside. Thanks for the tip Steve!

OK I flipped my rad fan around so it's in taking air from the back. Well see how that goes. It exhausts it into the case but I think the top 2 exhaust fans will be able to handle it. I have 3 intake and 2 exhaust.

I knew someone as smart as you would figure it out easily. But, I have seen some people who had no clue of how to do it. They should be restricted to only touching the keyboard, and then only with supervision. But, it looks good in your rig. An extra inch of space can mean a lot inside a case. Well done, my friend.

 

[Dude]

Thank you very much, it does free up some room. I'm going to zip the tubes together and work on getting the pci connector cable better. It it quite a fight on the back panel. When I get it looking good, I will either mod the panel to be clear, or get a better case.

Good luck, I hope it works for you. I ran mine that way for a while. It is really dust heavy here in Texas so I switched it back and took the fan up from the bottom to try and cut down on dust

 

[essenbe]

Some serious studies have shown that positive air flow will cut down on dust over 30%. I syill get dust in my cases, but never enough to affect performance, just enough to make you guys fuss when I post pictures. LOL. So, I quit posting pictures. But seriously, here is Silverstone's demonstration. a good read. SilverStone Technology Co., Ltd. What is positive air pressure?

 

[Dude]

Moved the PCi-E cable, now I can see the dragon again

Dude, you can try flipping the card cables over the top and zip them with the cooler hoses?

Yeah, probably should but this way I'm ready to SLI

 

[essenbe]

Looking better all the time, Doug. Well done.

 

[paulpicks21]

Looks great Doug. Nice job mate.

 

[Dude]

Thanks guys. Time to stop playing, back to football for now

You still will be but you weave them out the back and up to where the 24 pin is coming out.

 

[Dude]

Okay, that makes sense . Will give it a go soon

tbh, my room is so dusty because of the heat and A/C unit is in my room that it makes latterly no difference in dust. besides Id rather take dust over lack of cooling anyday

 

[AddRAM]

So what`s producing the heat, just the new card ?

What temp does it have ( non gaming and gaming ) ?

yea. and because its so big, it dosent allow any air but hot air to go to the top. however flipping my cpu ran fan to intake rather exhaust helped a lot. im at 45C mac playing for 30 mins as compared to 56C that it was getting before. BUT now my GPU is hitting 70C. which is in the lower end. I have an extra fan that I will play with to intake air in from the back or exhaust it and see whats better. im happy with the cpu now tho.

You can buy magnetic filters for fans. That way you can put it on the back of the case fan and filter that fan air also.

Dude you got that case looking good. What case are you using?
I do like the idea of running your video cables where the 26 pin connector is at.
