I know that i dont have make any update in a lang run, but have been very sick and that was done. I was so good to crash my knee on work.

But will be back whit some update when i'am back to full power ;)

Also need to wait on Alphacool to send me the last parts, if they dont do that it in the next 6 weeks. I will have to get Pexon to make some new cables and then my build is going a new way. I will hate that, but hope Alphacool can pull this off ;)

So Alphacool have been so sweet to some me some items, that i have been waiting on a long time. So now i can go ahead whit me my build, but my 850w Corsair PSU has died on me last night. And cant get a new one, so what do "www.komplett.dk" They send me a 1200w free. So big thanks to them on this, and yes i do not need that hugh power. But you get it free, you will take it :D

So in the next week or so i will post alot more on my build and get it done. Laptop is not the way around things to me ;)
 
Nice! Have been waiting for this :D
Anyway, will it be a Corsair 1200w from the same making? If not, you need new cable-sleeving I think :(
If it's the original AX series, the 850 cables won't fit the 1200w PSUs :/

First, check the pin-out of the connectors on the new PSU cables and compare to the old PSU's cables. The pin-out may be different. If it is and the actual connectors are not different, reorder the sleeved cables to match the new PSU cables. If the connectors are different, swap the connectors. This is hard to describe, but would work as long as they have the same number of wires and the connector pins may be the same...I'd guess they are.

If you have to swap the PSU end connectors due to them being different or a different pin-out, what I'd then do is use the pin pusher to remove the pins from the new supplies connectors and the old supplies connectors one at a time making sure to keep the pin-out right to match the new PSU.

What you end up doing is using those cables you already sleeved. You have to be sure to do a pin-out layout for both to be sure you do it right, or POOF! :) You should be okay with that having sleeved the cables and getting them back right. On my old Antec Modular and my current Corsair Modular the connectors are wired the same end to end, but the PSU end connector is shaped different between the cables. The pins are the same size, if wanted I'd just have to swap connectors to use my Antec cables on the Corsair.

Did I lose you? :)

This was all that have been done now, but more will come over the next 3 to 4 days ;)
 
Looks good, though the Noctuas looks a bit out of place. (At least the beige)
You should try using rit dye to paint the beige frame around the fan black.
Should fit your build :D

Can see your point, but when you see them before you. You will say the build is very very good :D

- And me and frame dye is not a good thing :P - Took me ages to paint the rings to my old build right ;)
