Cooling for CPU is all EK. Do I have to write the specs? Because you can see everything... =] Lazy Madness

The window was made yesterday, this is how it looks:

You can see the other stuff in Glossy R4.
I'm planning to sleeve the cables in black and blue! It's going to be a pearl!

More updates when the goods arrive!

Hi madness777, Very nice and clean build. I like your choice of colors and I still like your window mod . It looks great , Good Job.

 

[The Orange One]

Your rig looks epic mate!!!!!!!
Amazing job!

 

[yassarikhan786]

It looks fantastic dude, amazing job on both rigs. It's nice to see you put in a similar effort for both builds.

:O
Those cables <3 _ <3

 

[remember300]

ah now i see why people were moaning about my cable management, i like this rig looks good and im sure it performs as good or if not better than it looks.
The top fans was that a rad mount that holds them recessed like that? or was that part of the case?
i ask as i want to push pull on my rad but want a cage for the top fans or something that dont make them look like an after thought
once again i love the blue and how does the msi perform? ive been looking at the frozers

The fan thing, it's part of the case, they're meant to be like that. This case WILL NOT hold a rad on top without a mod. The fans are 140mm and the holes between them are too far apart for a 280 rad... If you plan on push/pull, Push fans will cover your mobo a fair bit, so if you choose this case, keep in mind, your mobo heatsink musn't be too big, same goes for RAM and you're going to have trouble plugging in the 8pin CPU...
And, why would you use a rad on top? Cuz it doesn't make a bloody difference if I have both my 240mm rad on top with the 360 in the front.
360mm is more than enough. I use the top fans to quickly pull hot air out of the case. =]

The MSI? With a few mods, it's performing like a champ! Long story short, I did some mods on the chip's IHS to make better contact with the cooler.
When I got it, it was screaming with 85°C, now it's juts over 60°C with the fans barely spinning up.
Also, the thermal paste MSI uses is junk... :lol:

 

[remember300]

ah thats fair enough cheers for that and i have a c70 case and thought fans on the top would not look that good plus they would be vunerable i wanted to put and fit two fans on the top with a little steel case and then put filters on the top as it sucks tons of dust in from the top

Very,Very nice look you got going there, dont know if youve though of it but would you die the Noctua fans a Blue/Black ? i think it would add to the overall aesthetic very nicely.
