Solved Would like to have some opinions

Jack, you may check, but I've always thought the PSU fan was intake and blows hot air out of the back of the case. Positive air pressure is very good. I have all my fans as intake except the rear exhaust. It works well for me. That ram is what I'm using as well as several others here. It's very good ram, as far as I'm concerned. Great build though. I wish I had the money for a 2011 build. But it's a little rich for me right now. Maybe a little later though. Also, if you get energetic, would you measure how far from the top fans on the bottom of your rad to the top of the motherboard. Your Rad is 46mm thick and your'e running push/pull. My rad is 66mm thick and I don't have a case I can run push/pull. I was hoping that case would do it. It looks like you have a good space in there. I would need right at 1" more than you do. My Switch 810 and the HAF X are both about 5 or 6 mm too short. I always get the VRM and the ram in the way. If you don't feel up to it, don't bother. I'm getting the case either way Already ordered as soon as Amazon gets them in.

Thank you for taking care of my brain fart. I don't know what I was thinking.
All power supplies blow out the back where the cord attaches. At least all I have ever seen.
Took care of the problem by putting the filter back where it should be by the power supply and took the one from the other 2 fan area on the same side panel and used it on the back.
Another thing I would like to see this case have is a push button of some sort to remove the side panels.
I have had my side panels on and off several times.

As for the room for push/pull their is about a 1 1/2 from the fans
I have installed to the ram. I held a 120 mm fan in a push/pull and there was about 1/2 in. to the ram.
The radiator sits in the case far enough to the glass panel side that the fans will drop down and leave about 3/8 in. between the side of the fan and VRM.

I do believe you could install the second set of fans under the top cover. I used a 120mm fan that measures 1 in. thick and put it in all 3 positions under the top cover and it the cover would shut with no bulge and no extra pressure.

Sounds great, Jack. Thanks a lot for checking for me. I appreciate it.

 

[Layback Bear]

Your very welcome!!

Jack that is an awesome looking build mate! Tidy cabling on the "dirty" side of the case too.
I'm with Steve on the Trident X RAM, I have a 16GB set and it is fast.

 

[Dude]

I have to say, that is a great looking build Jack

Slow down Jack if you have a sweaty spot.

Slow down Jack if you have a sweaty spot.

An antiperspirant would help.

 

[Layback Bear]

I found a new sweat spot under 1.30V Vcore.
100% load Prime 95
Max. temps 61C.

 

[paulpicks21]

Much better voltage, nice work.

 

[essenbe]

Great job, Jack. Much better voltages and temps as well. Nice work.

 

[Layback Bear]

Lights, lights and more lights.
I have never used them and really don't know which ones to buy.
I want blue in color.
The case comes with about 8 little LED light connectors and one 12 volt connector. They work off of the LED switch on the top of the case.
Knowing what others have used and work well would be helpful.

Also; is their a driver clean up tool that works and doesn't destroy the computer?

 

[Layback Bear]

I'm I the lucky one.

I lost video of all kinds on the display screen.
Rebooted/no help.
Both power green lights are on.
Reseated video card/no help.
Reset cmos/no help.
Used the other DVI port/no help.
Tried another display screen/no help.
Tried to use HDMI port/no way in hell.
Something wrong with the HDMI port. I'm unable to plug the cable into the HDMI port.
The HDMI cable plugs into everything HDMI I have just not this card. Asus GTX-77O.

I had to fight my Asus motherboard and now my Asus video card. Just waiting for my new Asus display to take a dive.

 

[essenbe]

Jack, have you determined if it is the Video card or the minitor?

 

[Layback Bear]

Tried another monitor with the same results.
I hope it didn't mess up my new motherboard bios.
I really don't want to have to go through that again.

 

[essenbe]

Jack, if you have another card, try it and see if it works. Make sure it's the card and not the Motherboard PCIe slot. My Maximus is in RMA right now because the PCIe X16 slot decided it wanted to run at X4 instead of X16.

 

[Layback Bear]

Well I gave away my only extra video card to a friend and I don't have one. Tomorrow I will get in touch with my friendly Intel man Glenn and see what we can do.
If the card worked and still had the bad HDMI port I don't want it.

 

[essenbe]

I don't blame you.

 

[Britton30]

Did you also try another DVI or HDMI cable? Don't confuse Display Port with HDMI, they look similar.

 

[Layback Bear]

I'm positive I'm trying to use HDMI port.
After removing the card I tried again and it's a no go.
Yes they do look some what the same but thanks for the good thoughts.
