comments on how i could manage my cables better?? ant changes i can make to make it look better ..

will be getting a modu psu in a month or so ... that should cut down the cable mess...

decided to go for a new case as such .. currently looking at a 600t or a colossus ... open to suggestions

hope this link works>>>

Like the case

. Best way to make it look tidier is too tac all the cables up better at the back of the case so they are not showing through all the holes where you feed the cables through and at the bottom

*Squints* Stock round Intel heatsink... those things should be banned.

  • I've never touched Crossfire before; but for two-way, do you need two Crossfire bridges?
  • Instead of routing the PCI-E power cables around the HDD cage, you could tie both sets of cable together in a straight line down to case cutout.
  • The bottom transparent case fan could be rotated and mounted so that the cables are have as short and sweet run to the back panel.
  • The front black frame case fan's cable could be routed up and behind the HDD cage.
  • Are there 'zip-tie tie off points' in the mobo panel of the case? If so; try to hide the excess power, front panel and SATA cables away from the cutout holes, and run them behind the mobo panel and graphics cards to block them from view.
Hope that helps.

Haha yeah I saw the Intel stock cooler and was wondering if I could make a sarky comment...didn't though.

In terms of the crossfire bridges, nope: two is pointless. Only one is needed

(Depending on which series, having both bridges connected could cause problems afaik).
 
I also like your stealth memory installation, I know they are there as teh clips are depressed but I canmnot really see them
smile.gif
very clever
 
thanks a lot for all your tips and comments .. yea meaning to move ova from stock intel hsf ... recently came off my am3 setup and used a xiggy dark knight.. lost my 1156 brackets so will be mounting it once i get new retention brackets and a new 600t in a month or so....

@chudley lol i was surprised at the size when i took them out of the box my self ... they are cheap ... tiny lol

@QBO420... thanks matey will get around to cleaning the dust off .. have to do it every week .. just cleaned it off 3 days ago .. and my rig has dust filters .. go figure that..

@jonowee done will get on to that straight away and there are holes that i can attach zip ties at the back..
 
Get a custom cooler on that baby man nice crossfire setup o and it told me to tell you to clean "me" before you take snaps next time! nice rig matey

lol yup it is a bit dusty ... will update new pics tonite once i flush the dust out

planning on using my xiggy dark knight with 2 red led fans push pull to go with the amd theme:)
 
Oze land?... Australia. In that case, I think the dust is a part of bush fire season. Stuff outdoors such as cars and windows are getting coated.
