Gelid even makes pci slot covers with filters on them, but I would think it would be better just to use solid ones.

The DEMCiflex magnetic filters are good too. Search: magnetic fan filters - FrozenCPU.com

alright it is done! I added a fan blowing across the fan intakes of the GPU and can escape through the rear if it has too.

so as soon as I get mu lights in my case, ill post up some pics I bought 12" cathos.... I have a feeling that they may have been too long..... but I can make it work.

How many exhaust fans do you have and where are they ?
It was mentioned before, post some pic's of the fans so you can get the best advice.

 

[N00berG00ber]

How many exhaust fans do you have and where are they ?

2 exhaust fans. both at the top of the case(probs going to upgrade those to 140mm soon). I have my rad fan as an intake from the rear, and 2 intakes at the bottom pointing at the GPU. I seems that I get the lowest GPU and CPU temps from this. since the CPU is only running at 45C, its fairly cool air going into the case through the rad. now the other componets.... Idk, I believe RAM might be running hotter, but none of that bothers me. only CPU and GPU and NB is what was bothering me.

2 things that strike me as odd, well not odd but a little out of the ordinary, your NB and your memory getting hot, has to be a reason for that.

You should be able to run your lites vertical or horizontal, either way they should fit, I bought a set of blue ones a while back but they had some wires that were impossible to hide so I`ll wait and get an led strip.

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

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

Okay, re re did the PCI-E cable going up, then re routed the usb off of the cooler behind the mb

NB always ran hot. I RMAed this board 6 times. 3 times for that problem and all of the boards are like that. and my mem gets hot because there is hot air blowing across it. otherwise it dosent.

Im looking forward to the pics when you are done Patrick. I need to switch my fans out for red ones

I think my window came out pretty damn good considering all the bends and corners of it.

Very nice Doug, you know what else you can do?


Enjoy your PC

Dude that's the way ! Looks very clean and even cleaned up the look of the PSU below.

 

[essenbe]

Good job, Dude. It looks better now. Well done. It will probably make it run faster now too.

 

[Dude]

I'm thinking I will need red fans before I can run it faster , Thanks for the tips guys

 

[N00berG00ber]

my GPU is getting up to 72C and CPU up to 47C at 4.5GHz. I think its the thermal paste on the GPU tho. I had the side window open, and ramped up the fans to 50% and it still only idled at 34C. when I first bought it, it was idling at 27C

 

[Dude]

maybe you should let it get some rest... some idle time

 

[N00berG00ber]

idk.... I think 72C ok.

I'm not sure, we need a pic this is the show us your rig thread

when I get my lights in! jeez..... you ppl..... lol

no, but tbh, ive tried SO MANY different options. I don't think its going to get any better than it is. eventually I will replace the thermal paste.
