Dammit Yoshi you're a few months late.. It's summer now not winter.

Okay, my S340 kept my 6700k (1.42v 4.7GHz) with a Noctua NH-U12P in the 60-70C range with SLI Asus GTX 680 4GB DCII cards. The top card would peak at a whole 80C. Currently the case has an X62 cooling my 6700k with vardars peaking at a whole 800rpm pulling air into the case. My current gpu (1070 strix) stays in the mid 60s and peaks at around 72C.

Airflow will not be an issue, especially if he gets a Founders Edition 1070 cause of the blower design not introducing heat into the case and just pulling air from inside.

Also the 1070 outperforms a RX 580 while consuming much less power. It will not struggle with 2560x1080 75Hz but it might not be able to fully utilize the 144Hz of a 2560x1440 panel. My 1070 struggles in games to stay 75FPS or higher average with my 3440x1440 75Hz panel but that is a much bigger jump from 2560x1080.

@iamdarkyoshi C'mon print my case so I can 1-up this guy (no hard feelings).

This is really cool though

@WereCat Spoiler: I still have the board, it has memory issues and makes a useless waste of space that MSI wouldn't replace again..

Lost 5 family members to cancer in the past 2 years and 2 still have it. 
 
Fuck cancer. 

This is the latest design.  Here's some more shots:
 

 
Most notably, you will see:
Designated places to install magnets that hold it together Additional USB ports moved to the other side The GPU shelf is simpler and more cutout Relocation of power button from side to front Although these changes are compared with what I would consider the previous "major revision", which actually wasn't posted as far as I can tell.  The images above this most recent post are actually from a rather old model (with the exception of the top one of course)
 
Below is what should have been posted, but we're beyond that now so it's "just for the record" I guess
The main differences are the GPU shelf cutout and the DC jack placement, which incidentally has been moved back since

Received the new low profile CPU cooler from newegg yesterday for my SNES PC project.

Hey uh don't worry this isn't dead. Still waiting on that print, but everything else is ready. I'm considering a few things though:

- Buy a VLP DDR4 SODIMM from Apacer or Innodisk.
- Make the case a tad smaller vertically.
- Designing small units that could house audio equipment, HDDs, fans...etc. Completely optional, so keeping the case at its current volume.

Update: Upgraded GPU
(Thanks Asus!)
 
What might this be??

 
It is a....
 
The card seems to be almost brand new, when I took it out of the anti-static bag the window still has its plastic cover over it and the I/O shield is spotless.
 
Note: Dialed the 8120 back to 4.6GHz because for some reason this ram gets upset if I run it past this speed... Damn slow wams. On a plus note the blower style cooler has removed a lot of temperature issues I've been running into.

Update: I Stole a HDD
(From my main system)
 
Here lies my 8-year-old 1TB Seagate Barracuda that has been apart of my main computer since 2010... When it came in a Dell Inspiron 580S. Just gives me an excuse to buy a 3TB drive later.


 
 
 
Ah yes, it needs internet! I have just what it needs!

 
 
 
Lovely long wait for windows to finish installing... After going through it once cause fan on H50 got disconnected, overheated, and powered off mid installation corrupting the install and somehow bricking the flash drive with the iso too...

 
 
 
Aaaanndd overclocking time... With some cooling problems due to a strong lack of airflow in this case. I need to cut out the front sometime so it actually draws in fresh air from the front too.

 
 
 
Good thing I remembered (saved) what clocks and volts are stable on the 8120 and 680.

Here I present to you, another system I built with spare hardware that I don't need but really wanted.

Backstory:
The motherboard, processor, and graphics card were used in my second system for mostly plex, and backing up of some data but once I upgraded my main rig I downsized that computer to matx and gave it my Xeon E3-1230 v3. I always wanted to find a purpose for the old hardware that was retired. I decided I wanted to do a sleeper build and one of my friends had this lovely Gateway K7-700 shell that he used for his system that he had done some simple things to. These include: USB and audio on front, and painting the interior black. He finally upgraded it so I picked it up from him asap.

Coolant is here, thanks to UFO technlogies for the custom color!

Some of you might remember 3dfx wich who ruled the graphics card industry back in the late 90's. Their latest chip the VSA100 had a max spec of 32 way SLI, thoe such setup have never ben seen, well not until now!
The Voodoo5 9000 have 32 VSA100 chips clocked at 166mhz stacked together in greatest 3dfx style to be able to compete against Nvidias Geforce2 Ultra. The cards cooling is so perfectly dimensioned that it even makes a GeForce FX 5800 Ultra cry!
The mastepiece supports the state of the art Glide3 and can screw your image up with all the alphabet's diffrent kinda buffers and blurs.
Because of gobal warming concerns where this card never released to the public and this is the only replica not yet locked up at area 51.

Let me present you - The Voodoo5 9000 !!!
 

Well ladies and gents, it's been a long road to say the least, but below is the video reveal for this build! (Use headphones if you got 'em!)   Final photos will follow within the week.   Special thanks to the boys at Parvum (Justin & Shaun), Jakob at Watercool (Heatkiller), Joey at Ensourced Custom Sleeved Cables, and last but most certainly not least, Daz at DazMode and Darkside Computer Modding. These folks helped sponsor this project and even though they sponsored, I 100% believe they represent the absolute best-on-the-market for each of their respective products.   Also, a big thanks to everyone that followed this long ride - I hope it provided some entertainment and that the final product delivered expectations. My next build will not take so long, I promise!   Without further ado, Tears In Rain:  

Loop is completely finished now and below is a quick peek. The finish line is fast approaching with a few more items left to go: Loop filling, Lighting, Deciding on SLI bridge, and of course Cabling...                

You have to enable voltage control in Afterburner's settings.

EDIT: Some GPU's do not support adjusting voltage so you may not be able to, same with power limits.
 

I think I've told you before but I also have been lurking on here for quite some time...
 
Anyways here are some pictures of my truck too, it was just repainted over the winter and had a new box, passenger door, mirror, windshield, and passenger fender put on... Thanks deer for literally running into the side of it.

 
 
Also have a couple older bikes   (Old picture as I have yet to get it out this Spring cause I've had a week or two where the roads are free of road salt then we get dumped on with snow)
 

My 03 Regal GS has a good ole 3800 with a supercharger.
 
Yes it has rust, I live in Michigan

Haha, you care too much. If there's a manager, it's not that small of a store. It's his decision, not yours, and it's not your company. Just let them do what they want, and follow; you know, what you're paid to do.
You seem to have a lot to learn about customer retention.
 
Though, I do agree with you on the second return. Fans don't just break. I'd have told him he's on his own since there's physical damage.
That's very much not how it works in North America. After sale support is through the manufacturer, not the retailer.
