Wrong way round as in upside down? Mine are same way, arrow pointing downwards?

If that's the case, it would explain the awful vibration when the top mesh panel is on!

Don't think that this causes vibrations but if you push air down the fans have to fight the laws of physics as the warm air inside the case wants to rise

BUGGER !!
Thanks TTL I could swear the arrow was pointing up on these to Exhaust air up and out ! !!!

Will check the rear exghauster now !

And thanks AverageNinja please go easy with me, as you can tell this is my first build.

a humbled KANEY

Normally the side with the braces is the exhaust side I remember that confusing me on my first build lol. Rig looks great

 

[TheCMStormStryker]

Nice Rig mate!!! Looking forward to an update!!!

 

[CPMFW]

thats some nice specs you got there...
looking forward to the finished build!

 

[kaney]

Thanks guys

Looking forward to today, will install Mobo, ram and attach H100.
AFTER flipping my exhausting fans top and rear (thanks again Guvner)

Also after some research and wondering what the hell to do with the front USB3 cable hanging down as this is supposed to exit the case somewhere at the rear I am guessing and then connect into the rear USB3 port so the front connection is enabled, that is a bit messy. I have sourced myself a 20pin USB3 to female at the other end so that I can attach the front USB3 cable from the front of the case onto the MOBO much much neater and no cables exiting at the rear of the case and I get to keep that extra USB3 port . TIDY.

Well take pics .

OK Good Morning All,

First things First flipped the fans to exhaust, also checked the rear 120mm fan to make sure that was the correct way round too, and it is.....Hallelujah ;-)

USB 3.0 Internal Connection :-

After some research about what to do with this cable hanging down from the front of the case I got my hands on this - BitFenix Internal USB 3.0 Adapter £6.66 from Overclockers UK, this lets me attach my internal USB3.0 from the front and attach it to the MOBO onto the 20 pin USB3.0 connector, much neater and you don't lose a USB3.0 port on the rear of your case.

Inside Case so far

Even with a beauty shot of the ram

 

[MadMarc]

Looks very nice so far dude, try to hide the cable from the H100's pump a bit better to make it look perfect

 

[ChrisGlobe]

^ that - and I would turn the PSU over so the cables are closer to the grommet

That's also what kept me from having the PSU installed Tom's way

 

[yassarikhan786]

I think it looks better with the fan facing up and having it the other way will only have the cables a little bit closer

 

[kaney]

I will look at these areas guys !

I do admit i did follow what Tom has done here, I still have a few bits to add into the rig such GPU and SSDs but I will definitely look at the cables to see what works best, you have to try these things !

cheers

H100 Cable Tidy !

Slight mod to tidy the cables to the H100, better i think.

 

[kaney]

or maybe the H100 cables go behind the Red braided MOBO cables !

Was just about to say this!

 

[kaney]

yeah on this now, was worried about the horizontal block running hot but I am sure this will be a tidier solution !

ta chris !

 

[ChrisGlobe]

No worries, I want to do my cables white now! (Need to fix my H100 first though)
