[Complete] Stalast's Updated 2nd Build

Introduction

So I finally got around to taking pictures of my new build with the new graphics card. Long story short, the fans on my XFX DD 7950 were not working properly so I got a full refund and decided to get the Gigabyte Windforce 3 instead with the money. Very pleased with the new graphics card, it runs extremely quiet even on 50% fan speed. This time around I spent more time on photography and used a real camera this time, not a mobile phone camera. (Though the pictures went very dark after uploading for some reason). I hope you enjoy my cable management!

Nice, have you considered removing the PSU sticker or rotating it?

Haha, gotta love the overclockability of this Gigabyte WF3 7950. Thanks.

I don't know why I should rotate it, but I've had suggestions of putting it onto the other side of the PSU. I'm not sure if it would stay stuck to it though. I want to keep all of the information that's on there.

 

 

Nice! Looks pretty!

Thank you!

By flipping it it may take away the need to remove the sticker and potentially void your warranty

Also the fan side up generally looks better, you'll probably like it

Thanks. No I didn't paint it haha, it looks like that because of the lighting and camera.

I may do that but I don't want to draw hot air from the GPU through the PSU. But thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you :D

It doesn't make any noticeable difference, don't worry. Good luck
