My Xigmatek Elysium Final Update I hope!

you wont get anything from that fan being stuck onto the rad dude., need to make that as airtight as possible if you know what i mean so air is pulled through or pushed through the rad, having it simply sitting there ontop is just going to make air do a little dance inside your case....other than that, looks nice and neat...

I don't believe bringing hot air into the case from the rads is a good idea IMHO.The 120 in the front is a intake obviously and the other fans are exhaust.This setup works best for me at the moment,and for moving the 24 cable to the cut out next to the ram its a tight bend for that thick cable.Thanks Grizz spent a few hours cleaning it up those flat cables mad a big difference.I used those plastic clips in picture below and attached them to the bottom of each video card so the cables wouldn't be hanging loose.

Yeah i dont like that either, but its not a bad idea to do it. Alot of people have their bottom rads fan as an intake. The only thing that would be some degrees warmer is the mb and the top rad might also be affected.

It would be easy and trouble free to test it. Just turn the the bottom fan and run some tests while you monitor the temps.

I recently updated my water cooling set up and went with black tubing and replaced bottom rad with a 240 push pull set up.The rad doesn't really fit laying down flat on bottom of case that's why I decided to stand it up. It works for me and I am happy with the outcome.

There's a bit too much black in there for my taste, but other than that it looks good mate.

Final update to my case,what I did was cut a small section from the drive bay support on mobo side and now I have all my cables behind mobo tray.

What a difference now mate, looks awesome

. Much better than it did initially

That case is huge ... Makes the Sabertooth look like a M-ATX ;]

I agree and think that it is suited to a certain taste

I did add a Blue cathode light and it looks great.

Dear rmorse27!

Very nice computer you have there my friend

I have the Xigmatek Elysium as well and I'm going to disassemble my computer to make the chassis modification by attaching a power supply bracket as a shelf on the top back out of the chassis where the ordinary power supply top attachment are.

If you let a mechanic shop help you with that you can use the bottom space for your standing radiator to let it flat on the bottom of the case with fans sucking fresh air from below.

When I have modified my computer case and put together the components as it shall be, I can take pictures so you see my solution (just a simple one though).

Here beneath is how the computer looks inside before the modification

But there will be some minor changes inside as well when I'm done with the job. But as you see I have an open area in the top back where the power supply is going to be attached external so the cables will get past in to the back of the motherboard plate.

Hope this will give you some inspiration for future plans.

Wish you all the best with your nice computer mate.

WOLF.

Thanks for the info Wolf,but what I am working on is getting rid of one of my dual bay pump/res combo and getting a split dual bay res with 2 pumps this way I can mount the rad in the front of the case instead of standing it up.

Did you edit the first post or am I the only one that thinks you have fine cable management??

Dear AciD_RaiN.

Yes sometime I'm editing my posts do to my age and forgetfulness.

Excuse me but I do not really understand what post with the fine cable management you're referring to my friend.

Sorry mate, my bad!

Excuse me but I do not really understand what post with the fine cable management you're referring to my friend.

That's because he was talking about the first post not your post, read his post again carefully

Dear Grizzly!

Thank you for your profiling, not easy to become 58 years old (June 16) and with my medical status

, But I do my very best.
