See, that's the thing. There's probably none, but that didn't stop vendors here from bundling them together, making people think it's a good combo.
Also, reposting my babby.
>>54997640
Thought about buying the hx750i but eventually went with the 750w G2. The stock cables included in those Corsair PSUs piss me the fuck off. It's like they're deliberately providing flat cables so you buy their overpriced cable sets.

Thanks. I would've done a better job on the cable management, but my PSU's non-modular, mobo only has 1 casefan header and there's hardly any room behind the motherboard tray.

It seems like a value-oriented PC. Which is totally fine. If you ever want new stuff, just upgrade over time man. Seems plenty fine for now though. The biggest difference would be an SSD dedicated to your most used programs/games. Obviously OS, too. If you can bother getting something with a decent storage amount.

Have you seen the Cougar QBX cases? They basically stole the layout and put it into a SLIGHTLY larger enclosure. For VERY cheap.

>>54999025
I'm a little jealous of the cleanliness of cables in your case. Granted you have a significant amount less than I. I also couldn't use the stock 24-pin cable, because it couldn't reach mine with the radiator and other items in the way, which is part of what I have sleeved cables. I think the watercooling loop is awesome, but what I see simple M1 builds like yours it makes me just wanna "downgrade" sometimes. lol
>>54999098
I occasionally want to watercool, but I love the look of aircooling fins too much. :)
I'm also cheating with cables since the 24pin and 8pin are on the right side of the mobo.
The trade off you get for poor power placement is significantly more POWAH than I've got by a longshot.
Still looks very nice though, so it's not like your doing badly or anything.
>>54999161
Yeah, some heatsinks do look really nice. But, I'll have quite a bit more compute power if I decide to get that new CPU or not. ;)
How are your temps currently, and with what hardware?
>>54998927
>>54998930
I honestly like the asus 1080 strix , if they make a 1070 strix identical/close to the 1080 id be really interested.
As for the RX 480 a new Vapor-X serie would be really awesome for my blue guts! Id crossfire them without hesitation!

I'm so used to not thinking about SLI/Crossfire that I don't even think about it at this point.
>>54999304
can that fucking thing see through walls?
>>55000877
Unfortunately no, but it can see heat reflections in glass/ reflective surfaces.
Here's the other set of images I took when I had a U9B-SE2 instead of a C7.

Why PSU fan facing up?
>>55007577
takes hot air from the case and expells it.
Personally, I prefer the other way around as well, but some retards like the guy you linked to does it the other way around.
Have you cleaned your fan filters, anon?
>>55007589
Strange.
I always thought it's better to have the intake take cool air from the outside (like fron-side panel fans) and then the hot air from the psu is expelled off the back of the case. It seems in such a configuration the intake fan would pull into the PSU hot air from the case (especially the one generated by the GPU).

Next upgrades are a Designare X99 board and an M.2 NVME drive. I'll get some sleeving for my tubes and white fittings in a couple months and then set it up as a single loop.
temps are after gaming for a couple hours.
>>55007757
i like the look of the hdd slots in the back compared to the r5, and still have nice big rads in the front
>>55008044
Yeah it was the best case for my needs since I don't use many harddrives.
I also aimed to use another radiator when the 1080ti arrives. Iirc I can't fit two 360mm radiators though, just one 360 and a 240/280mm. Even then it will be roomy while still being a fairly small case.
>>55008044
same here.
Bought it few days ago and am very satisfied. No sound dampening in the front but the case itself is very silent and the stock fans are also good -- not big of a difference in noise between 600 and 1000 rpm, so I plan on buying two more of these which are also kinda cheap. Love the back mounted hdd/ssd slots and lack of cages.
>>55008454
Yeah their fans are very nice. My case is just their 120 and 140mm.
>>54997640
Guts are mess i will clean it next week I have too much work now.
The question is do I need aftermarket cooler?
I use box now on stress test i cant go over 55c, the old cooler bend mobo for some reason and it dont want to start up with it.
>>55010559

I need new DDR3 sticks and was looking at these rated at 2400MHZ so I could run them at 2133MHZ and drop the timings, but I'm worried the black and red finish will look tacky as fuck. I have an Asus ROG board though...
>>55010599
>I'm worried the black and red finish will look tacky as fuck

You're already tacky as fuck, just get whatever is cheapest unless you can color coordinate.

The board is black and red of course. Case fans are white

I should get a case with psu shroud, I hate how I can't hide those cables coming from the psu. Gonna wait till Vega comes out and think about upgrading then probably.
getting a smaller rig soon. probably gonna order the dan cases A4-SFX with an Intel rig
>Rig in pic is an FX8350 and Fury X with 16gigs of sweet love
>>55012217
Your Fury X is exhausting hot air out the front, or did you convert it to intake?
>>55012305
The hub is clearly facing inwards.
>>55012305
yes, I opened it up, took out the stock fan, and replaced it with a static pressure fan intaking air
>>55012340
Makes no difference, it depends on the direction of air from the fan you fucking retard.
>>55012349
I see, that's what I was wondering. Far as I know you can't flip it on the stock piece of shit fan.
Should I buy some custom cables, or make my own? I'm still using an old AX 850... should I upgrade and buy cables?
If I can make them myself, where can I find resources? (UK)
>>55012359
Show me a fan where the air doesn't move in the direction of the side with the hub supports, please.
>>55012399
Shut the fuck up.
>>55012365
Amazon, Overclockers UK
>>55012405
Alright, you're a fucking idiot. Got it.
>>55012411
For custom cables, or to make them myself? Is it cheaper if I do it myself?
If so, how can I assure that the cables are compatible with my PSU?
>>55012429
search your PSU into overclockers, or atleast corsair. Cable extensions are much cheaper, at £30 for a full set

what do you guys use to clean out dust and shit? just compressed air, or have you committed to some sort of vacuum. i'm getting back from school and my computer is dusty as fuck
>>55007599
I guess this has way more room than the back side of the Define R4 (which I have).
My cables are just pushed together when I want to close it, it's not pretty.
Seeing your build makes me wanna get this case. Seems pretty great, I have about the same setup as you 2x HDD 1x SSD.
Anything I must be aware of about this case?
I'm looking at the window version right now, is your the closed or window one?
>>55013501
I use one of these to clean out dust. Won't help with the shit, though.
First build, I'm not the best with these things, wondering why my CPU is so hot.
>>55013758
get yourself an aftermarket cooler.
>>55013304
why get a new case when that is fucking amazing. 10/10
>>55013510
Can't say if it has more room than the R4, but there is plenty of room in the Define S.
I have an old Antec case which was terrible for storing cables in the back, and this is like heaven.
But I also have a modular PSU.
I was mostly disappointed in the plastic front, but it looks like brushed aluminium, so it's all good.
Can't say I've found any other bad things. Maybe the bottom filter is difficult to get back in, but yeah that's not an issue in my eyes.
I got my case for around 70usd.
>>55013866
no that's the new one, not what i have currently
just ordered this memecase. what am I in for?
>>55013606

To me it's an eyesore, but they say it performs well in the side where your expensive stuff is

will do, thanks lads
>>55014134
aye but only in the front for intake
>>55014327
Just watched a review, I like the form factor but the PSU fan intake has no fucking dust filter. Corsair are a bunch of niggers.
I'll stick to Phanteks.
>>55014084
>>55013304
Too black, not enough contrast 8/10
>>55014400
yeah that bothered me too but then I realized I can make my own filter for 3 bucks so it should be fine.
really like that 2 part case concept. seems so much better for cooling.
>>55014456
>really like that 2 part case concept. seems so much better for cooling.
Sure I guess but most cases are like that except the behind isn't as wide.
I do like how it moves the PSU outside of the main part of the case though.
>>55014575
yeah I looked into phanteks but I want an optical drive in there so most of them don't work for me. I also dislike blocking the front intake off and making the fans pull the air from the sides.
as I see it you give up functionality for aesthetics and that goes against my nature.

What are temps like?
>>55020039
...fun fact, I don't think I've ever installed a temp monitor on there. At least, certainly not since I did a clean windows install a few months ago. Airflow is pretty good at least, as I tried to keep cables out of the central air column as much as possible. The GPU is definitely warm under load, as it becomes a toasty little chimney when gaming, but I have no solid numbers. I really should go and monitor that.
>footlong USB 3.0 header cable to reach breakout 2 inches away
Finally built a new PC after parting mine out like 2 years ago. Got the GPU for free, waiting for a buddy to sell his 780 Classified. I'll take a better picture at some point soon. Got a 500GB Samsung 850 Evo and Corsair HX850i in the back.

Corsair 540 Carbide
>>55019944
got it used for 80 bucks and I think it'll fit in well. Desk is black so it should be a nice contrast.
>>55020487
I'd put the HDD in the right slot but I guess it's irrelevant since that GPU doesn't look like it's producing a lot of heat.
>>55021103
I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, just put this together a couple hours ago, installing everything right now lol.

Alright good to hear, I'm thinking of getting the Air 240 for a semi-portable first build, though I'm unsure it'll be small enough. Might just go with a Corsair 250D, though I would imagine cable management would be a bit more difficult in an ITX case and it doesn't look as good imho.
