My rig... yeah that's right!

[FoodStampz]

Upgraded my X6 and 470 to the following...

Asrock Z77 Pro4
i5 3570k
Corsair H60
Corsair Vengence 2x8gb (1600)
EVGA GTX670 FTW
Samsung 840 Series (250GB SSD)

Need a modular PSU, but not bad enough to hock this TX650W

All inside a Fractal Design Arc (not midi)

stampz, great you are using a fractal case, but curious.. FD made either an
Arc Midi or Arc Mini, never just Arc.. and since yours has the 7-PCIe slots
that is an Arc Midi, so you can be proud to call it an Arc Midi.

 

[DeusInvictus7]

Yeah that's definitely the first generation Arc Midi, since like airdeano it has 7 PCI-e slots, as well as a 4+4 drive cage configuration, compared to the current Arc Midi R2 which has 5+3. And I believe the Arc Mini is 3+3.

Nice upgrades though, I have the same CPU and GPU in a Arc Midi R2, and they're awesome.

 

[FoodStampz]

i see. I figured it wasn't because it didn't mention midi on the box anywhere

Nice rig, Stampz. Done any OC? How are the temps with the H60?

Also, now that y'all mention it, I really wish FD would come out with a full tower Arc series case. 360 rad support in the top, with like 9 PCIe slots for eATX mobos, etc. Also, more than two 5.25 bay slots, in case someone (like me) wants to run a bay res with a memory card reader, fan controller or the like in another slot.

Nice Kudos on the good wiring too.

PCI-E cables and case button/activity light cables getting tidied are the only critique I have for this one,a nd even then it's really a minor thing, looks good otherwise! You did the same thing I did with my old rig, blue LED's for intake, red for exhaust x-)

EDIT: Soz, just realized those cables at the bottom are also going into what looks to be a sound card x-).

I'm thinking about installing my "beast" fans.

I do have a fan controller... Just need to decide where to place them in the case.

Foodstampz, have you noticed a difference with GPU temperatures / GPU fan noise with that added 120 fan in the floor? I have a spot in my HAF case for one, but not sure if i want to add the clutter in exchange for cooler/quieter gaming.

 

[FoodStampz]

I have had it like that for awhile now, I can't say for sure if it helps the temps but I don't notice any noise and the gpu fan rarely ever speeds up to an audible level.

nice looking rig, love fractal cases... but wondering.. why h60? id have thought for the extra few $$ the h80 would be a much better choice?

 

[FoodStampz]

It was that or the h100i. It's all microcenter had in stock at the time.
