Post Your Cable Management?

Shouldn't the fan on the cpu cooler be pushing air through the fins and then the rear fan would suck it out (used as an exhaust?)

 

In your case both suck in one direktion? Of course this works too but don't u think placing the cpu fan on the other side pushing through would work a bit better?

I couldn't route my short extra power cable with the fan on that side. ( Plus it's easy to clear out the dust since I just have to wipe the heatsink )

well wiping the heatsink shouldn't be an argument lol.

 

But it is ok! Still, if you rebuild or clean ur system the next time you can use the moment to put some new thermal compound on the cpu, reposition the Fan and get a cheap extender for your power cable.

Fair enough, but it actually does make cleaning out dust a million times easier than having to clean out the fan blades on the fans. ( I will stick to that being a valid reason :P )  In all seriousness though I probably will do that.

Right! well for new computer builders its been 10 years since AMD was handing Intel there ass on a plate. Also if you notice my motherboard in that picture it was a abit AT8-32X which had 2 16x lanes for crossfire. But yea key of the story first builds are normally your worst ha!

I will never understand people buying ATX cases for mini itx boards... Unless its temporary. But, I had a friend who had a micro ATX i Define R4, just because he liked it. 

It's a µATX case, I bought it as my computer was being starved of clean airflow.

 

I have already bought new components to replace the motherboard and cpu, (which is in the micro form factor)

I felt that after 4 years of nothing but an 80mm exhaust it needed a little better cooling.

 

Especially as it started hitting 20 degrees every day.

I can hear those graphics cards howling all the way over here!

Me too. I thought it was an airplane, but it was just those cards.

At least it was an SSD. If that were a mechanical Hard drive, I'd be asking for a discount valued at the price of the drive.

Like the older 2000-2005-2007 models. (years)

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
