I've got an Air 540, I don't have to worry about shit.
>>52281396
I'm looking at getting the enthoo pro, anyone got one with decent cable management they can show?
>>52281638
mah man. one of the major selling points to me.
>>52281396
Honestly I dont know how anyone can spend so much money on a pc and not even know something as basic as cable management...
>>52281809

>>52284108
>routing cables for no reason but aesthetics in case that's going to be closed, and in such a way that hardware is difficult to swap in and out
>"basic"
Cable management meant something back in the days of ribbon cables. Now it's utterly meaningless except to satisfy the autism of a few perma-virgin neckbeards.
>>52281396
i don't care if i build it for someone else :)

>>52284347
>if you're that embarrassed
I am not embarrassed. I have a an extra RAM kit without the gaudy heatspreaders that I could switch to.
Another angle.
>>52284428
Yes, that's why Alienware exists -- because people confuse colored LEDs for performance.
Manual ricing is for people who wish they had an Alienware, but couldn't afford one.
>>52284428
Fair enough.
>>52284502
How's the back side look? I'm pretty pumped to get the case especially for its price point

Get a case that provide you with the option to not give a shit.
>>52289093
This case is so fucking poorly designed.
An entire section where you could literally shove in an entire itx build if you used a pcie riser for your GPU, except it was used solely for a PSU. Talk about pathetic.
I can't even see my components through spaghetti cable. yolo faggots

obviously faulty, but the fact that I'd had impressively bad DOA rates on their memory as well kinda killed the brand for me
>>52284287
I have that same case, Anon.
>>52290013
You only have 2 RAM slots filled, but you have filled the same color? Are you sure you are running in dual channel mode?
>>52284387
Doesn't count if it was a guy, anon.
>>52290511
Yeah, the color coding varies. Some indicate channels and some indicate where to install pairs, the manual knows best.
man, i've built many of my friends PCs and holy shit the disasters i've seen..
have you ever cleaned it? "no, and i've had it for 5 years"
and they are not autistics, i mean, they are, but not normie tier, i play games with them

Well, unless you got 100m of cables everywhere it really doesn't.

>>52289503
Holy early 2000s rice, Batman!
>>52284362
It makes a tiny difference in air flow, but not much.
It does makes dusting and cleaning your computer a lot easier though. Besides, I like my shit to look nice, and it also makes changing hardware easier because there isn't shit in the way all over.
>>52281396
I'm more worried about all static electricity he is generating when moving around on that folded blanket he is sitting on.
1) order case, psu, drives
2) when they arrive order remaining parts
You now have at least a day to manage your cables
>>52290911
this looks exactly like a computer I built in that very case lmao. I thought it was mine actually. But I don't have any gray cables coming out of the back - plus I sold mine.
thanks for the memorys
Maybe if you didnt buy cases with fucking holes in the side with more internal lights than tour average Christmas tree you wouldn't have to worry about that shit.
>>52286801
This kind of makes me want to build a computer inside an accordion.
I have so many cables in the back side that it makes the case bulge out a bit. Still, I haven't noticed any issues with it (going on ~5 years now).
>>52290911
That is exactly what that side of the case is for... What matters is how it looks on the other side.
>>52291153
>implying spaghetti cables are ever ok
>>52291194
The only thing you're going to do by sorting and tying down the cables back there is ensure you will have to break it all apart and do it again when you upgrade, for zero aesthetic benefit. Unless you put your computer on display with the right panel off, fuck I don't know your life.
Two kinds of people spend time on cables
1. Manchildren whose pride and joy is a computer. A fucking computer.
2. People who don't know shit about technology and think it makes a big difference, or who think running components 1-2 degrees lower (in idle only) actually matters.
Pick related are my temps. Go fuck yourselves

>Accurate temperatures
Pick one.
>>52291740
>>52291908
Each one of those 3 yellow wires are 18AWG, current rating of 7 amps each, that's 252 watts. A 290(what I assume that card is) might get close to that in furmark, but it's never going to push the limit of that cable.
>>52291770
But no fucking way can you pass 1kW over that for more than a few seconds.
>>52292015
I just twisttie all the cables together. Looks a lot neater.
>>52292738

>>52293205
>But no fucking way can you pass 1kW over that for more than a few seconds.
If that happens, your PSU and probably every other component it's connected to is fried anyway.
>>52291942
>sleeved cables
>on the back side where nobody will see it
For what purpose
>>52292738
I see you fit in with "2. People who don't know shit about technology".
How do you even think these temperature monitors work? Do you think they send out little mini robots that actually measure the temperature inside your computer? Do you think software on your hard drive can magically leave the platters?
You see, they all work the same. They simply display the number given by the component's firmware. That's it.
>>52293231
I didn't say the temperature monitors do not work, I implied SpeedFan does not record them properly.
Maybe you should go take an English class or two.
>>52281396
>implying it matters for anything
>>52293228
But you're seeing it :3
>>52293246
>does not record them properly.
Again, do you literally think they send out little mini robots that actually measure the temperature inside your computer?
They simply display the number given by the component's firmware. That's it. There's no difference
>>52289411
dat sag
>>52289357
It's basically specifically designed for faggots to show off their lack of cables in guts threads. Otherwise it's an awkward, fuckhuge mess.
>>52289565
Even if it had no effect on airflow it's still preferable to have good cable management for when you're fucking around with the parts on your motherboard.
>>52289428
How the fuck did a 970 get that dusty already? Does your case have zero fan filters or something?
>>52281396

>>52293316
Download CoreTemp and share a screenshot of your temperatures.
SpeedFan is extremely unreliable and has proven this time and time again, I'm not saying so because I don'† believe you, in fact, I don'† give two shits about your temperature (and apparently you're in a 12C room), I'm just telling you how utterly terrible SpeedFan is as a program.
Of course, you're too stupid to understand this, it seems.
I'd advise you to go back to /v/ or /reddit/, where ever the fuck you came from, because it obviously isn'† this board, and you stick out like a sore thumb.
>>52293374
Sick burn
>>52291932
got the very same case today.
How bad is the 3'5" bay / cable conflict?
rate my build
>>52293374
Again you're showing how you know absolutely nothing about computers, or even basic high-school science. Temperature is a physical property. It needs a physical device to measure it. Software can't measure it. Software can't "record" it. Software displays a number given by firmware. It's a single line of code.
>>52293470
>I still don'† understand what you'e trying to say, let me just tell you how you don'† know anything about computers!
That's great, but if you would just use your head and learn how to analyze a sentence it would make everything so much easier.

>Corsair Exec: Just fuck my desk space up

>>52293688
That's simply because they don't poll at exactly the same time. Some may use interpolation/extrapolation too, to reduce jitter.
>>52293742
The only component with any sort of detrimental effect at those temps are mechanical hard drives. If you graduate from /g/ memes you can dig up actual clinical trials done on this. Data centers do them all the time
>>52284362
>>52281396
Yeah cable management is mostly for looks, up to you if you think cables look bad or not.
Picture related is good for airflow and well I'm never looking at it because it's closed and at the corner of a desk and wall so...
Been building PCs since like the late 90s and I have no problem with looking at cords. I don't know when cords became ugly. They just can't be in the way and function wise not ruin anything else.

>>52293806
CPUs and GPUs running below room temperature can cause condensation which in turn can fuck shit up
>>52294328
That's not how condensation works retard. Any part that consumes energy will be warmer than the ambient temperature. Condensation forms on things colder than the ambient temperature
>>52294404
>Any part that consumes energy will be warmer than the ambient temperature.
You can cool things below room temperature
>Condensation forms on things colder than the ambient temperature
re-read what i wrote and you'll see i said exactly that
Can't wait to see what kind of cable management this case from NZXT has.
>>52294444
The only way to _temporarily_ cool below room temperature is by using consumables like liquid nitrogen or ice cubes in your water cooling tank or whatever. It works for like 10 minutes
You are retarded for thinking someone's shitposting on /g/ while trying to set an OC record, which is pretty much the only use for those things.
>>52289821
Yes. Also, what are you, 13?
