Cable management discussion.

580gtx?

gigabyte ud* mobo
ripjaw ram
fractal case?
but wheres the ssd....

 

SSD are shite. Seen far too many returns. When that's sorted, maybe. For now, it's running stably and is as quick as it needs to be ;-)

 

That case with that CPU fan looks like its ready to TAKE OFF!!!

What CPU is it cooling?

 

A 486 overclocked to 10 GHz :lol:

 

Lol.

It's an i5 2500K overclocked.

Nice cooler. You could actually run it on less fans. And even as it is, it's very quiet.

 

Finished my pc atlast so thought id share my updated cable management

 

@OP
The rear fan, rotate it until the cable is as close to the top/back of the case as possible, then fasten it up there.
I think on my case I could loop a small zip tie or some such around one of the top motherboard standoffs, and put the fan cable through there, then tighten.

 

I snipped some wires on my non-modular PSU to reduce the number and make cable management easier. Seems to have worked well.

 

My builds have always been more complicated that mobo+CPU+RAM+HDD(s)+video card. I've got three different optical drives sporting IDE, a IDE controller card, ZIP drive (also IDE) several HDDs (all SATA) and soon a sound card if I ever get around to that one.

Cable management is impossible for me to have last more than a month or two.

 

The ricer as all hell haf x makes cable management and huge radiators work perfectly. Although I cant't wait to get an internal pump and resevoir, even with the haf the dual bay res takes up way too much space and doesn't let me do much.

 

Upgrade my setup with a NZXT Phantom with full insulation, seelved PCIe cable and windowed case. Still waiting for Haswell, its a sandy setup 2500k @ 4,5GHz, 560ti SLI and Raid5 SSD... Love that case!!! :

 

switch on triple sli 660ti @ antec620 on GA-Z77X-UP7

still wait for kraken x60.. best cooler ...:witless:

 

Now that is beautiful. Envy.
