Red & Black Build

[waleedshahid001]

Hey guys,

 

So am currently working on building a red/black rig .

 

Specifications :

Wanted your opinion on what else can I add to enhance the red accent of the build. The red led fans in the parts list are two in front and one in the back.

Also where do I get the red/black psu cabling.  (couldn't find on pc part picker).

That's all fine, but you might want to consider changing the LED Fans to white LED's. Make everything red, then bathe it in a red light, and everything is just a red-wash. Whereas white will actually show up the colour of the components. The same applies if you ever decide to put in LED strips somewhere in the case, I'd go for white.

what is the use of this build?

[DigitalHermit]

Overkill on the PSU... You can go a bit lower...

 

Are you sure you don't need an HDD?

V1 Tech offer custom cable extensions http://www.vonetech.com/

and Corsair offer black or red individually braided cables, there are other places as well that will do custom cables

You could get some fans with red accents to replace the ones on the radiator.

Already have a 1TB WD HDD.

And as for the psu , will be adding another gtx 970 for sli

I would personally go for black fans so the red isn't overpowering. 

 

You can get Corsair's own cables if you want, but they're very expensive. 

 

Code for the cables: CP-8920049

and the 24 pin: CP-8920057

Red LED's with a red and black build? No no no, why wash everything in red? If you're gonna just bathe it in red light, it doesn't matter what colour the rest of the stuff is, it's all gonna look red. White however, white is just white and everything it shines on retains it's colouring.

If you want a mobo with sweet red accent get a Maximus VI. Little more expensive and might have to change some things.......but it looks cool lol.

So how about if I get the rear fan with white light. But keep the front two in red ?

I never said Red LEDs. They look horrid in my opinion. Just some fans that instead of gray are black with maybe a red dot or something.

if you wanna go overboard... corsair makes red ssd

[OhhTee]

I think you should get a set of black and red hyperx and alternate the colors, but that's my opinion.

[RevoltTrain]

If you want a bit more red in your build I recommend the H440 from NZXT.

I had 2 PCs with "two tone" LEDs, I loved it.

I had yellow led case fans and a red GPU fan mounted on the side window and ended up with a red-orange-yellow circular transition and I loved that.

Second one was blue intakes and red exhaust and that was a blue-purple-red front to back transition and that looked ok

It might look OK but you might end with a bit of pink?

The Phanteks Enthoo Luxe has exterior LED lighting. You also get a stealth psu cover, so you don't have to worry about seeing the psu.

 

I left the fans in, although you might need to change them as I haven't checked the fan mounts in the Luxe.

 

EVGA also do custom sleeved cables in Red.
