WTF are you doing using all those molex adapters. Your PSU should have proper PCIE cables dude.

 

[barnsley]

Oh dear, better replace those molex adapters. They could fry your GPUs...

-edit- I've worked with a cosmos 2 and even I found cable management to be a doddle.

 

[tinytomlogan]

Youve got some epic parts you just need to put some time in on making it look tidy and obviously removing those adapters - they are only put in the box for n000bs with crappy PSU's. You really should not be using them dude and it actually makes me cringe seeing you using them like you think they HAVE to be used because they were in the box.

 

[Remmy]

Is this finished? I'd love to give some positive feedback but you can't just throw money at a PC and expect it to be good :/ The cables could do with a LOT of tidying up for a start, then it wouldn't look half bad.

With that huge budget you could have easily got a PSU which has connections to natively support the 780Tis, rather than needing the adapters too. (I'd have thought yours came with them, but if they did why would anyone use the adapters? :/)

 

[ShaunB-91]

Nice components just needs a bit of a tidy up. Like the Cosmos 2, but it's a big beast.

 

[Harishanim]

Molex can mess this much up?

Thanks for the reply logan, i luckily had saved a couple 6 pin converters, ill switch em right away! and i don't like the wiring either, i had work to complete the day it came in , and i just roughed it up, i think i can make you guys happy with a cleaner wiring

 

[Remmy]

Good on you mate, it will make a world of difference Get a pack of cable ties, and sit down for half an hour and you can make such an improvement. You'll make it look a lot nicer, improve the airflow, and then you'll really have a rig to be proud of

Just use the connection direct from the PSU for your graphics cards dude.

Making it tidy will make it look MUCH better, as other have said the hardware is there but lazy assembly is kind of spoiling it atm.

 

[Harishanim]

Ok After cutting my self a couple times!

Here it is, i rewired everything and removed a a lot of wires and bundled up many more, although i don't have a place to put my case's fan headers

but here's the final product

 

[Feronix]

Not quite there yet, but much better already!

I also noticed that you have both RAM sticks in the far right slots. Stick to only the red slots, or only the black slots (doesn't matter which) to benefit from dual channel mode.

Oh, and don't put all your cables in the HDD cage, or at least find a way to cover it up

 

[SuB]

Nice to see constructive criticism being given and taken well lads

 

[Wraith]

Lots to do with it bud but your getting there take a look at Toms review of the Cosmos II and the clean install give you an idea of how tidy it can be.
Edit - found the Cosmos II review

 

[Damien c]

There is room behind the 5.25" bays at the top of the Cosmos 2 for the unused cables from the top IO ports.

Not the best picture and not the best cable management but this is what I had the cables like when I used, the Cosmos 2 for one of my pc's not long after it was released.

It might not help that much but it's the only picture I have of the back of it from when I used it.

 

[Harishanim]

Amazing help!

Ok RAM will be fixed immediately and ill try re routing the wires too, it about 1 am here and i will do these first thing after class tomorrow! thanks guys!

 

[Terrifictez85]

Nice looking build, you'll be having fun with that cable management forever.
What was the reasoning for the choice of parts? (not criticizing)

 

[Harishanim]

Choosing of parts

Well if you are talking about the good parts, I'm a animator and currently been rendering a lot and will soon start working and im also trying to get to a professional level in gaming , i think that sums up pretty well and for the bad parts , they were used from my previous build, this thing also had a ssd and 16 gb more RAM but in the last minute we had a budget prob and the only things that could be cancelled where those two

 

[Harishanim]

Guys I have a problem, I updated the kraken x60s driver but it showed device not connected so I uninstalled it removed the x60 put in the Intel fan downloaded the latest kraken software, installed and the plugged the kraken in again but it still shows the same error and the L690 driver fails installation

 

[tinytomlogan]

This is another one I did with the Cosmos 2

 

[Harishanim]

I actually did a lot more back panel working today, and about the kraken x60? any help please? coz the l690 driver is messing my comp up and is that a maximus VI formula? looks beautiful and i dont even have to say ur the best at routing
