Glock's Armor Project.

I recently went out and bought a new TT armor case, Zalman 9500CNPS new thermal paste and logitech G15 keyboard.

Everything is connected and running although I have to fix very small problems such as my front panel USB and my cable management. I am also going to setup my fan controller for the Zalman.

I am going out to buy some zip ties for my wires and once everything is sorted out I will post some new pics.

Question: Is there a certain time I have to wait for my thermal paste to kick in totally or should it be working right away? Also, is there anything I must tweak in the BIOS?

These pics are without any kind of management, I just wanted to get it in and make sure it worked

Lookin good . Is the bracket that came with ur Zalman curvy like an S? If it is, you can put it inbetween the heatpipes and mount ur heatsink so it blows out the back of the case .

Nice mate. NEEDs some cable tidying

@NickS: well the zalman uses the stock AMD retention bracket that the stock heatsink sat on and the screws for that are in a way that mounts it the way it is. I might finish cleaning the wiring and then look into it a bit more.

@Kemp: I'm doing the wire management right now, I'm just taking a bit of a break By the way things are going, it should be nice and tidy by the time I'm finished. I'm really concerned with airflow because now that I have a new setup with better cooling, I will finally start overclocking my 3500+

I love that case, it's very unique. Looks like a nice new revamp on the system mate.

As kemp stated, some SERIOUS wm is needed, holy damn bro! Let us see some more pix once u get the cabling done, are you sleeving anything or just hiding it completely?

exactly what nick said u can mount it sideways its a lil tricky thou. and u can punch the mesh on the power button tray and put ur floppy in their and ditch the lil pull out tray.

thats wicked buddy!... looks like ure pc is super uber!

 

[glocktodahead]

Ok It's all setup and running like a dream. The wires are zipped and done the best we could but once we get some sleeves it will look even better

New Wiring (helluva lot better lol)

Nice mate

Still think you should turn that HSF round to eject air out of the case like Nick said

 

[NoL]

I always thought the fans spun to push air outwards thru the fins, wouldnt that mean that its already sorta blowing out towrads the back fan?

 

[glocktodahead]

Well I do have a 92mm fan above it set to exhaust as well as another at the top of the case, when the heat passes through it will go out that way won't it?

If I did turn it, do you think I would get a definate decrease in temperatures? I'm sitting at 34 idle and the thermal paste is new.
