Specs?

You need specs dude or the thread will get removed. However based on first glance it looks like you've been very careful in your choice of components and put together a quality build! Great job!

Nice Rig Mate, great component choice also.....

sabertooth boards always look so clean with the right cable management. Well done for a nice clean rig. Would like to know the specs though

 

[loglog]

nice parts choice.
might look into sleeved cables if you ever plan on displaying that clean build, but other than that very well done!

Specs?

Sorry ^_^ I had completely forgotten to add them! They have been added.

turn upside down your h60 rad.. the hoses at top let's you a clear view on the backplate of that awsome vga

nice rig btw.. cheers

Agreed flip those hoses around would look nicer, also as you just have that rad in pull I would suggest removing that roof fan add a push pull on that rad, and then mount that fan elsewhere, it's going to be hogging airflow away from your cooler. I noticed between pics that fan has moved but I suggest either using it as a extra intake or mounting it at the very front of the case (in roof) at a low rpm to help stop your build becoming a oven while also letting you cooler get some good airflow?

not if that rad fan is pulling into the case then that top fan is perfect for getting the heat out

Ahh agreed did not think of that lol, if that is the case. That may explain the pull only or the push rear intake, if that's the case I'd like to hear more about the temps etc.

I think you've convinced me to do some testing! I have 2 140mm fans on the front (The two front + 1 top came with the case) so that top 140mm won't have a home if I remove it. I'm currently saving to buy some Corsair SP120s for a push/pull rad.

BUT, I'll do some load testing, grab some temps with the fan on the top, without the fan, and also with it as an intake. Will post results when done!

beautifull!

I'd move the rad to the top just for aesthetic reasons (if it fits); the tubing with your current config looks messy in an otherwise tidy build.

The only hardware I'd change would be swapping the h60 for double rad AIO for a cleaner look.

Nice build
