Welcome dude! Wow, it's seriously tidy in there. Nice work! I've got a similar sized desk to you and would love a bigger one, just always find something else to spend my cash on.

Very good looking rig man, nice and tidy.

Btw how good is the Akasa Venom? I've always wondered if it's any good seeing as their Apache and Viper fans are pretty awesome.

Thanks, every time I look inside I see a wild cable that I could hide better.

Its an ok cooler my idle temps are between 14-16C and load are 44-45C depending on fan speeds, that is at 4Ghz at 1.39v. I was thinking of getting the H100 so I can use a wider range of ram due to the venoms low height.

Very smart looking rig mate. I have a 650d also, but its not as clean looking as yours. Gonna clean it tomorrow and replace my CPU cooler, which will give me a chance to do some cable management.

Ahh I've been looking at them for a while now but the only thing putting me off is the fan colours.

I don't mind the colour even though I'm not a big fan of it, but I'm after the performance + quiet factor really.

Thanks mate

Yeah I'm planning on getting a AX850 and white sleeved cables or maybe black I don't know,really want a black and white themed PC.

Just ordered 8GB of Vengeance and at some point scraping the cooler for a H100, see the Corsair theme going on?

ah yes corsair , almost full corsair suited up myself

the white ones are nice but seeing as mine was mostly black and red , black seemed to fit in alot better .

anyways be sure to post sum pics !

good luck !
