5-21-17 Update

I got the new fan controller and fans for the front of the case and I took out the mount for the extra HDD cage and I put a 120mm fan I had laying on my shelf in the bottom along with mounting a dust filter on that fan. I also have did some tuning and adjusted the fan curves and cooling on the system. I also moved my 120mm Noctua LTT edition fan from the front of the case to be a second fan on my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo when I added the 2 new fans in the front which are Corsair ML120 fans. The bottom fan is a slim Thermaltake fan with a blue LED in it I just used it because it was whatever I had spare sitting on my shelf.

 

I'm currently waiting on a side panel window to arrive and after that comes I may start to add some LEDs for some cool lighting. What do you guys thing I should do for lighting?

 

If any of you have any tips or comments don't be afraid to say it I'm open to suggestions and tips for future upgrades and stuff for the machine.

Previous update on 5-16-17:

Spoiler

This is my first post on here in a while and my machine has been upgraded to Ryzen since last time I posted bere. Today I got the Nanoxia Deep Silence 3 case and I moved my entire build over to the new case. I'm still waiting on 2 new fans and a fan controller I'll update this thread when those parts arrive.

 PS the machine is on the floor because it was too heavy for the shelf I had it on and I think it may be time for a bigger/newer desk that's more comfortable to sit at.

Why asphixiate the CPU cooler like that by placing it's intake so close to the GPU? Just let it vent out to the rear casefan.

Did the GPU move down a slot between those first 2 pics?

it's the bracket they had availible in the store for the 212 evo when I updated the PC to Ryzen if I was re configure it to get the cooler the other way arround I would have to get a entirely new bracket. It works the way it is right now and the temps are fine so I'm not concerned at all so I'm going by if it ain't broke don't fix it.

no it's in the same slot it's just the very top slot is not there on the motherboard as the space is used for a M2 slot

It's just that in the first pic it looks like the fan is pressed up right against the GPU, like, within a cm, but ion the next shot it looks like there's 2 inches between them xD

I don't believe it.. they're literally touching in the first picture lol

 

 

Anyway.. how's the 1700x treating you? I'm on the verge of a 7700k or 1700x build right now

It would appear that the cooler sticks out more than the gpu (towards the side panel) which isn't apparent in the second picture, but it gives the illusion of being closer in the first picture.

1700x is great no complaints it's a real workhorse when livestreaming and still plays games very well
