hell bro I didnt know that was the part ya was painting lol ya could of left them off as well but looks good

 

[StreekG]

Ah yeah true but you can see them straight through the side window so i thought they could stay on.

Run the 8pin thru the mobo cut out

 

[AxJaWz]

Nice powerful rig you got there

.

 

[V1Viper]

Cool rig dude!

 

[StreekG]

Thanks guys

 

[Terrifictez85]

Great looking rig mate, when are you going to get on with the cable management?

 

[Skeese]

This build is crying for cable management

 

[critical]

You might get away with running the 8-pin under the mobo, I know it will be a pain in the arse to have to remove the mobo just to route one cable but it could save you some £££ over buying an extension.

 

[Jamzieth]

looking realy good mate though to echo a few other posts you need some cable managment.

Maybe look into an 8-pin extension cable.

I believe Tom reviewed some a while back and i know from looking you can pick some up for cheep.

But again looking good, nice specs XD

 

[StreekG]

Yeah thanks everyone, i hope to get the cables sorted out soon, I don't really need it but i want to upgrade my CPU cooler so i will probably do the cables when i buy that.

 

[StreekG]

Hi everyone!

I bit the bullet and got myself a new CPU cooler, fitted already. The stock intel was making a bit of noise, as if it was slightly hitting something, got annoying and i will want to OC this PC soon.

While at the shop i also got myself a Bitfenix Alchemy 8 pin power cable extension, loos a lot better now that the cable isn't in front of the board.

CPU cooler is NZXT Havik 140.

PICS!

 

[SieB]

Nice, let us know how the Havik performs.

Whats the best way for me to test this and give you guys my results, After my old build i just left it like that for a while and didn't really have much to do with anything else, i've regained my heavy interest in all PCs/hardware/OC after building this rig.

What programs etc should i use?

Prime95 Small FFT's after 30min should give you the max temps, for stability, Blend or Small FFT's setting (or both) for 6-24 hours. I do 12 hours, some people say 6 is enough, some say 24 hours..

Then test games and such, it might be prime stable but not game stable

CPU-z to show and validate frequencies and such. Realtemp is good for temperatures, also CPUID HWmonitor is good, a bit more detailed and not just the CPU/GPU temps.

 

[critical]

To summarise:

CPU: Prime 95 to load CPU and CPUID HWMonitor to see tepmeratures.

VGA: FurMark or Kombustor (or a F@H client)

 

[Terrifictez85]

Much better mate, have been looking at buying the havik. How does it perform?

 

[ruthless_villain]

Why are people getting so excited the only thing NZXT have ever done is make one good PSU line their just tacky.....

Boooooooooooooo lol NZXT have made some good things. The Vulcan, The Phantom, LED strips, Obviously the Hale series power supplies and Cable extensions. They are a good company just they make some shit cases.

my arse is the phantom good, the cable extensions arent brilliant... ive used them... the vulcan meh maybe its decent and the strips are good so thats about 3 decent products in the last 1.5 year
