Can't put a finger on much here. The only think i'd change is that CPU cooler; It looks like you have a lot more headroom, maybe even for a U12S. Other than that, fucking neat. What case is that?

>>52421060
I used to have a U9B-SE2, but I'm moving to the Dan-Cases A4-SFX as soon as I can, which means the CPU cooler can't be taller than 48mm.

>>52421321
you're criticizing builds and your cpu cooler is facing your gpu?
Fuck sake
>>52421321
So do it. Your case has enough rad space for your build, you just might need to get a little creative about a res and pump.
>>52421349
i was just commenting on aesthetics, i get the coolest temps this way so idk, i get 28 degrees at idle and ~40 - 45 when under load
i also don't really know what i'm doing

>spending all your money on fancy liquid cooling so you can't even afford a decent GPU upgrade anymore
>>52421367
how difficult is it? i might when i get my next paycheck, just weighing up the pros and cons
>>52421373
if your fan at the top of your case is an outtake then you should be alright, it's more effective to have the air coming from bottom and right and leaving left and the top
>>52421321
>>52421337
Why is your cpu fan pointed at your gpu?
>>52421416
yeah it is, and i have 1 intake on the front of the case (so bottom right) that cool air blows over the gpu and into the cpu cooler, it all stays pretty cool, and with the mobo i can;t mount the cooler perpendicular to how it is now
>>52421428
would it work better on the other side? i tried that and the temps went up slightly.. + i don't want the top fan to be an intake because my house gets dusty
>>52421455
you could just turn it, however if it's not a major issue then just leave it
Otherwise it's looking good, nice cable management
>>52421380
>implying it's new
>implying it was all bought at once
670s were still damn good cards when I did this. I've moved from Ivy Bridge to Devil's Canyon on account of a faulty motherboard since building my loop, but kept the GPUs. Pic related, it's the last system I had running air. It's my mortgage that's keeping me from upgrading the GPUs, not my loop.
>>52421389
Not particularly difficult. You PROBABLY have enough clearance to mount a Swiftech MCR140 X-Drive on that top 140mm fan mount, which is a reservoir, pump, and radiator in one unit. If you used a slim 240mm rad on the front as well, you'd have plenty of capacity for your system. The only other wrinkle would be the GPU. I haven't seen a three slot cooler for a while, so I'm assuming it's a bit older. Non reference coolers aren't the water cooling death sentence they used to be, but for something like that you'll probably struggle to find a full cover block. You always have the option of using a universal block with small heatsinks on your VRM and VRAM though.
Hey
I wish I could start posting the guts of the builds I've made over the past few months, but I'm fairly certain most of my clients would not appreciate seeing their PC on this godforsaken shithole

plus, who the fuck cares if there pc is posted on a website, it's just a bunch of parts..
>>52421624

Put the hdd cage in, and redid the cabling. Gonna get 2 more 2 tb drives, maybe colored PSU cables.,and maybe nicer fans
Why do people buy expemsive cases and sacrifice on good internals just so it's pretty? That's stupid and it ruins the point of even building a good pc. You could build a rig for as much as some cases and you see people putting shit into those cases.
The mind boggles.

Mixture of things. Price for their actual good stuff. Their non AX power supplirs are also known to be kind of meh. RM and CX series have higher failure rates.
Last is the fact that even their AX series are usually rebranded Seasonic ones so people always just say to buy a non-rebrand.
Personally I use god tier V series Cooler Master power supply.
>>52422497
I'm Noctua and I have mixed feelings about this message.
Today I found out that my mobo was missing a screw on one of the standoffs. I've bundled up the sata fan cables and tucked them in closer in one bunch, using up a space of two ports vertically instead of three. 92mm fan is buzzing again because of the clips. I am considering a windowed panel in the future.
>>52423440
Is that 600C?
>>52423287
I acquired me one of these once. (250GTS 1GBDDR3)

every time I see your build I love it more
>>52420386
Whats that on the other end of the Y split, salt?
>>52425591
It's a front intake, not rear. I've got a Noctua Redux 14mm fan on front. You *can* use a 20cm fans, but some don't fit, and even the ones that do will interfere with long gpus & 240mm AIOs like the h100i that I have.
I've had this since last June, I only clean the dust filters once a month, and I've never had to blow out the inside. There's a little bit of dust inside now because my rear fan mounts aren't filtered, but it's nothing a few puffs of air won't clean. (80mm dust filters are like $2 apiece, I just haven't gotten around to ordering them).
>>52425692
Thanks, I still have a bit of work to do on it. I hate how the cables are sitting.
>>52425763
get some sleeved one for optimal sexy
>>52425749
Thanks for the reply.
Just a last question. Does the front cooler blow air to the inside or to the outside?
Would be kind of bizarre if the thing indeed takes the hot air from inside and throw away but still, it had a filter.
The filter would end up being a barrier to keep the hot air inside IMO.
>>52425777
Yeah, I'm planning on cutting my own lengths. I want to get colours that match the Noctua fans.
>>52424916
I have a meme 212 evo but it doesn't fit into my shitty case which is why i'm asking.

>>52425874
>MSI
Ayy lmao.
>>52425788
No trouble, I enjoy helping! There wasn't much info on this case when I bought it. You can set it up either way. Currently I have it pushing air inside, and then exhausting from the side through the CPU radiator. I'm going to try flipping it soon to see what the results are like.
The two side panels both have magnetic dust filters that are easily removed, and the front filter is just a simple clip, so you can easily change them up to suit your intake/exhaust layout. I've currently got the radiator side filter removed for exactly the reason you stated.
>>52425874

>he fell for the LED meme
I know, saving up to switch to silent fans and shrink the whole machine down into a 250D, only problem is that Mini ITX Z97s and H97s are hard to get hold of and the only ones available are Asrock (been there, never again) MSI and Gigabyte, which all have bad user reviews. Guess I'll just wait for Zen
>>52426216
What's with the molex to pcie power adapters? Surely that psu has the proper cables
>>52426216
Flip the PSU around and tuck all cables behind the mobo tray. Tuck fan wires and front panel stuff neatly somewhere. Deal with excess length by folding or even rolling up wires and use the case dimensions to your advantage.
Too lazy to take off panel, it's the same shit anyways
>>52426297

It's soft tubing. What is OLC?

Open loop cooling/custom loop
good case offers you:
good cable management
nice airflow
customizable shit - (removable hdd cages for example)
noise isolation
when you already pay 1000+$ for a new rig, whats the point on jewing out on something that would cost 50-100$ more. its one of the only pc pieces that can be future proof.
hf buying shit cases everytime you get a new rig.

Same reason my people jew out on motherboards
they think it doesn't matter

Most people I know change cases with each platform upgrade.
That isn't to say don't buy an expensive case, I'm pointing out people want different looks and layouts if they upgrade. But if you can stomach the same shit then yeah that's an acceptable excuse.

What kind of mr2? Aw11 are my favorite.

>TFW I've change cases without changing the entire system just because I wanted a better case
I went from a Coolermaster 430 Elite (EUGK) to a Fractal Design Define R4 to the Define S.
Went from R4 to DS because I wanted a window, better airflow and to eventually move up onto custom loop cooling.

it's an old hd 6950, upgrading soon, but i love 3 slot cards, will be sad to see it go.

used a spare expansion slot cover, bent it and propped it under the gpu, you can see it on the far right of the gpu, it is perforated.

It's filtered
everbody always posts front guts but never the ugly mess of cables in the back.
my shit looks acceptable in the front but the back is such a cable mess i can't even put the back side of my case on and since i swap shit out so much it's not worth my time to do any real cable management since i'd have to undo it every time i swap shit out.

Considering this one fore a future imITX build. How do you like it? Is it good? They say it's a budget case; is it worse build quality than the ATX/mATX versions? Will it survive when that psu blows up?

I'm going to fix the bottom cables soon.
Leak tested and virtually finished.
Just need to dremel a hole in the bottom of the case for the pump to stick through and it'll be completely done.

The Evolv mITX is pretty damn huge for a mITX case, may as well go mATX for the extra expansion slot if you go that big.
