Show Us Your Rig [6]

[Lady Fitzgerald]

I thought of another way to color them, a Sharpie pen, they come in all sorts of colors. Downside is I've only seen them in sets of 10-15 or so.

I actually thought about a sharpie pen but think dye or paint would be better, and more permanent...

The ink in Sharpies is surprisingly permanent. I've used them to blacken the exposed wires on the ends of cables, blacken SATA data cables, and touch up color elsewhere. The only downside is, if the marker doesn't actually stain the surface, such as on metal, the results can be a bit streaky.

The replacement Corsair H80i came and not a gurgle of air to be heard anywhere. My hats off to Corsair as they have really come through and it's no wonder so many here including myself are crazy about their products. Talking to the tech's they were honestly excited for me and to learn about the build. But as easy as the bad H80i came out the new one was way challenging to go back in. Had to take the GPU and Ram out, all cables off and even then it was a bear as you can see space is at a premium. Over all I'm over the moon with the results and even had a chance to make some minor but nice changes. Too tired to start with bios tweaking and OS loading but some pictures for the effort.

Coming along pretty nicely isn't in Linn

 

[linnemeyerhere]

So far so good, it's a blast to work on cause it only wants to be put together one way and it forces your concentration. I'm waiting on a 230mm led front fan but that install will be easy I hope.

Alan, with the pics side by side it makes them run way off to the side, I can't see them all or read what you wrote.

 

[sygnus21]

I can see them just fine at 1920 x 1080 but I think posting them down instead of across makes better viewing.

 

[Britton30]

I have 1920x1080 too.

Ah, someone fixed it.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Just changed them did that help?

[Britton30]

Yessir, thanks!

 

[sygnus21]

I have 1920x1080 too.

You might want to check you setting or something. I can see them just fine, but the screen stretches out wide. Don't know why yours isn't doing that

However I do think posting them down instead of across makes better viewing.

Yeah I see Linn (Alan) fixed it

 

[Britton30]

A lot of it is forum themes, the default and wide ones work fine. Others don't know how to handle it.

 

[sygnus21]

Hmmm... I don't use the wide themes, don't like them. Using SF Classic.

 

[AddRAM]

Oh God, I use the wide black theme, sweet :shock:

I used Shapies on my Cougar Vortex fan's on my H100i

looking good Alan, I bet you need some patience working in that confined space don't you.
I'm glad Corsair came through for you and got the replacement to you so quick

The ring's were already red chap as they're the stock Corsair ones. It's the top fan's that have been attacked with Sharpies
