Cleaned up the cabling a bit more.
This is as good as it's going to get with this case.
Absolute perfect cable management wasn't top priority with Lian Li regarding this case.
That's okay. I've been watching the temps again and the GPU never goes over ~65 when playing a game.
>>47366972
Buy 5.25" to 3.5" adapters and move those HDDs up, then you go ahead and remove the 3.5" drive bay.
voila
>>47367047
I thought about that, but I would be concerned about them getting too hot up there. Would they?
Also was planning on cutting the rack in half so the top intake can provide better airflow.
>>47367117
>Would they?
Probably not, you'd just be getting normal temps. And SSDs doesn't produce much heat, right?
Give it a shot, move back if you feel like it. Better than cutting the rack IMHO.
>>47367195
I'll give it a go.
They should be close enough to that top exhaust.
Yes it is small and very difficult to hide all power and sata cables. but i am pretty satisfied that i got all black pcbs and the rest silver aluminium.
>>47367772
I feel ya. I'm >>47366972
I love the contrast they make.
>>47367867
ahh. i see lian li.
good taste.
But isn't it possible for you to turn the drives to hide the cables on the back?
>>47367960
I really wanted to. I got so used to that with previous cases.
But, that's how my other HDD broke. The bugle all the cables made was just too much, and I used a little too much force trying to make the side panel stay in place.
That bent the rack slightly and busted the transfer connectors on the drive.
A shame, since it had all my music and movies. Oh well, I'll get it all back in time.

It has no space for full-height GPUs, but I'm not going to need them so whatever.

>you sound like a fag
Fag: Noun. Someone who cares more about how something looks, rather than how it performs.
Looks like I'm in the correct thread ;-)
>>47373364
Yeah, maybe do that before the extra 980. SLI'd 980s is far overkill for 1080p. I'm maxing out with one 960, even.
>>47373534
Consider it secondary noise dampening, rather than your primary means. You need to have silent fans and rubber mounting, etc to do the majority of the noise reduction. The foam deals with the remaining hum of fans or coil whine.
That said, it has a pretty noticeable effect and since a kit was only $15 it was totally worth it.
>>47373259
Don't do it. Get another 1080p monitor and an ultrawide for you center monitor. 980 can run it trust me.
I have the EVGA 980 SC ACX 2.0 and it stomps all over triple 1080p gaming
>>47373881
>I don't understand air pressure
>4 fans in (inc. rad), 1 fan out
This makes sense to you?
>>47373954
Hi, guy with the foam case here. Positive pressure. Dust reduction.
Still deciding if I want an h110 or not, 280mm radiator would look pretty badass
>>47373920
Even if it is shooped to fix discoloration or whatever, it probably performs just fine. He's probably getting better CPU temps at the expense of GPU temps, but GPU's (at least nVidia's, from experience) can operate warmer than CPU's anyway.
Aren't we here for mostly looks anyway? Go back to >>>/b/
>>47373997
To be honest, I'm not impressed with Corsair's build quality on the Hydro series. The tubes tend to crack, and Corsair are turbojews when it comes to warranty fulfillment should something go wrong.
Might I recommend a Swiftech unit?
>>47373997
I have the same case. H110 would probably do pretty well as long as you undervolt your fans for quietness.
>>47373403
>iChill
it just werkz
The H220 is a "upgradeable" AIO.
You can add a GPU fitting if you want at any point.
>>47374031
do they have anything closed looped that would accept my 140mm sp fans?
>>47374037
got my top sp fans at full actually, they still pretty quiet
>>47374123
Not that I know of. 120mm is kind of the standard.
>>47374123
>>47374151
Ah, scratch that. Here's a 140 mm fan unit.
http://www.swiftech.com/H240-X.aspx
They're hard to find, unfortunately.
>>47374151
that sucks, really wanna use the 140s for a radiator, just bought them lol
>>47373671
I have to explain it to at least one guy every single thread: the industrialPPC fans are too fast, and I bought my fans before the PPC line even existed.
Made a few changes, hardly a difference in temps though. and my GPU fan died today too. The next 3 months will be toasty.
More Noctua, there's another two on the front rad.

>>47374922
Switch your motherboard to an H97 model rather than a Z97. The "z" refers to support for overclocking, and you have a locked processor picked. Also, you might want two 4gb sticks of RAM instead of 1 8gb so you can take advantage of the dual channel feature.
Other than that, your choices aren't necessarily bad.
>>47374922
different guy here, but i think the better route would be to keep the 212 evo and instead get an intel processor that is unlocked. anything with a K on the end of the name. not much point in an aftermarket cooler if you aint overclocking i think was his point
rebostan once more
>>47373790
Well, seems to be low budget right?
First, you should never be to economical with the cpu.
It's more important then all the other parts.
Choose a i7 in the same price range or better put some money more in it and look that it is compatible with the Mb.
The MB as well does not look good.
I personally would take a Asus motherbord.
Take 2 Ram blocks 4gb instead of the single 8gb and look up if the mb supports dual channel.
The 970 is a shitty gpu, is a 980 to expensive?
It's way better but you could also take a 780.
Can't see the pwu, how much watt is it?

>>47379730
How's my cable management looking?
Any PSU you'd recommend?
>>47379730
>>47379053
well the temps are only affected by a few degrees so that's why I haven't bothered to switch them. I sold the 680 a week ago and I'm going to be selling the 970 and all that is going towards getting either a 980 or the new AMD 3xx cards that are dropping soon.
>>47373881
>>47373789
>>47373814
The guy who edited that pic definitely cares way too much, but the fan arrangement in that build isn't great.
It could be fixed by simply flipping the top fans so they exhausted. The way they're set up now, they're just blowing warm air from the rad back into the case.
>>47379730
PSU and case are both fine...if anything OP cheaped out on the CPU. Should have saved a few more bucks and gotten the 4690K and a 212. An SSD would be nice too.
>>47379759
Cable management is pretty good, the PCIe power cable looks out of whack though
These days the EVGA G2/P2 series, particularly the 750 G2, are excellent value and quality. There's also Corsair HXi and Seasonic in general.
>>47379874
>even considering selling a 970 to buy a 980
Please don't be an nvidicuck.
Anyone here with a 4790K experiencing high temps? I just upgraded from a 4770K and I'm getting 10 to 20℃ more on idle/surfing the web.
Already tried reseating the heatsink/thermal compound a few times. Updated UEFI and reset it.
>>47380066
>not seeing the "of the new AMD cards coming out soon." I used to be pretty partial to Nvidia but after the 970 I'm looking at team red more atm.
>>47380132
I did see that part. Hence "even considering".
>>47380100
>upgrading from a 4770 to a 4790K
God, you're fucking retarded. How's that extra 0.1-0.2 GHz going?
There's probably bad contact between chip package and IHS. Delid and put CLU on the chip package. Then again, you upgraded to a 4790K from a 4770K, so you probably can't be trusted to not fuck that up.
>>47380252
I gotcha man.
If amd does not deliver in terms of performance that I'm going to have to go with a 980

Thanks. Instead of a "SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold" I had to pick "Corsair CSM 650W - Modular 80+ Gold", is that okay? Also the i5 isn't quad core but it has the dual channel you mentioned.
Here's a picture of what it looks like right now.

>>>/b/
>>47382382
Disregard my retardness then
>>47382406
Not a problem.
You may be confusing HT (Hyperthreading) with actual cores.
Most i5's are actually quads without HT, whereas i7's are the same but with HT (and the appropriate markup in cost).
Some exceptions are lower denominators that are actually dual-cores with hyper threading, under the marketing illusion of quads.
>>47382333
Get something better. Is Seasonic stuff available in your country? How about EVGA B2 or G2 series? Antec HCG?

>>47383217
why in ever-living fuck would you turn your cooler in that direction
>>47383282
Gigabyte put the first PCI slot dumb fucking close to the CPU. Cooler would not fit going the other direction without hitting the first GPU. Feels pretty bad.
>>47383300
They did that on purpose so your first GPU can breathe you dumbshit. You fucked up with picking your cooler.
>>47383300
I bet it'd fit if you didn't have that fat, pointless backplate on your graphics card. I don't think Phanteks took fat, pointless backplates into consideration when making the cooler.
>>47383217
TOPLEL
FUCKIGN IDIOT
>>47383318
They put them very close together to breathe? What? You seem mildly to moderately upset. I'm sorry to hear that.
I'll be getting a liquid cooler at some point but for now I'm not having any temp problems at all.
>>47383335
Nah, it doesn't. I'd do away with the backplate in a heartbeat if it meant being able to put it in the other direction.
>>47383335
It's worse than pointless. It insulates the heat.
>>47383363
>They put them very close together to breathe? What?
If you put the first x16 slot higher up, you can space out your graphics cards more. That's all he's saying.
>>47383421
Ahh, okay I assumed he meant breathing room between the CPU and GPU.
Yeah in hindsight the mobo was a poor choice since I'm not running 4 AMD cards or anything, was my first build so whatever.
>>47383381
You're right, but as I said, I'll switch things out once/if I have heat issues. Which currently is far from a problem.
>>47383038

Okay then, I'll go with the Corsair CSM 650W and if I get any problems I'll see further.
Thanks anon.
>>47383541
The CSM is quite poor in quality compared to the HCG, but 850W is incredibly overkill. 650W is too, but not as jesus-fuck-do-your-research overkill.
Don't let people tell you gigabyte is bad, their budget stuff is sometimes questionable, but their high-end stuff is among the best without killing your wallet. Z97 krait is fine though.
>>47382333
No i5 is a quad core. 4690k is the best quad core non hyperthreaded cpu on the market right now. The csm 650w gold is probably fine. Seasonic is probably okay too.

why aren't you blowing air out of the case? instead of blowing hot air in.
>>47387142
He probably has clearance issues if he wanted to stick the rad in the top, especially if he's running fans on both sides. Flipping the fans to exhaust out of the front probably wouldn't work too well either as he'd only have the bottom fan feeding the GPU (the rear fan wouldn't be doing much) and the two front fans would be pulling most of that air away.
>>47387142
>>47387247
Back fan blow in (add filter)
Top fans blow out.
Open up PCI slots for positive pressure and gpu heat exhaust.
Heat problem is now solved!
>>47387440
Flipping the rear and adding fans in the top is pretty pointless, and combined with opening the expansion slots would result in negative pressure (4 out, 2 in) with lots of dust being sucked in.
>>47384407
is that a microcool bench?
>>47387582

>>47388955
I'm sorry your majesty... I was merely trying to emulate your refine structure. Great case and set up, by the way
>>47378728
It seems pretty okay for a small case. The only things I wish for are a fan mount at the front and a mesh at the back.
>>47389067
What would be the point of a front fan mount? The PSU and drives would block all the airflow.
>>47389911
Yeah, it would have to be a bit longer and designed a bit differently. Cooling for the drives maybe?
>>47390143
I think as long as you have the PSU mounted up front like that, a front fan is going to be pointless. The only other place the PSU can be without making the case bigger is over the motherboard, and there are already cases that do that. Of course, that gives up CPU cooler height.
If you want a space-efficient layout that doesn't sacrifice CPU cooling or GPU length, a front-mounted PSU is hard to beat. For the what it's meant to be (small size, good cooling), there's not much that could be improved on the SG07/SG08.
>>47366655

Yeah the fan was a nice touch, I think I'll try the same with my build. Are the temps any good though ? The heatsink looks really small...
>>47392202
Idles around 35c most of the time. In game usually doesn't go above the 50s from what I have noticed.

I'm new to the whole building pc's...is that pulling air from your cpu and pushing it out of the top? What fans?
>>47393488
Two intakes over the radiator, two in the front, one exhaust. Top intakes draw air to cool the CPU, front intakes draw cool air into the case, exhaust.. exhausts. IIRC that anon is going for positive pressure to limit dust build up and didn't have really bad CPU temps so it wasn't a problem. >>47373789 is bait
>>47391352
I'd like the drives to have more cooling though, they get a bit hot especially when the machine is heavily loaded.
I also bought the 180mm fan that's supposed to fit above the motherboard, but it hits the cooler on my graphics card. Bummer.

>>47393708
That is what I'm doing.
>>47393827
>all that dust
>>47393842
you don't get more dust when you have the top fans pushing out.
>>47393855
3:1 exhaust/intake
>what is negative pressure
>>47393878
Yes? And?
2 fans in and 3 out and you have a much better system.

Got the same mobo + ram
Almost complete just waiting on a reference 970 to drop in price. Also there's nothing interesting outside of the window and I don't use those speakers.

Not a single source to be seen.

Graphics cards aren't getting any longer. The longest one ever was the 5970 at 13".

Not counting the old school ultra-long SLI setups, those might have been longer.
Sorry if I'm interrupting your colored LEDs but, I need help with representing Guts Threads on our 4chan Divegrass team, currently you are represented by just "Guts Thread" which I find dry but I don't know what you guys think, If you want to be represented by something else.
