Sorry in advance if the pictures aren't that great. Also I didn't take any pictures of the case as it isn't a very flashy case and my floor around it is a mess lol

Nice, but I heard that the Hyper 212 Evo isn't quiet.

It's not too loud, plus it's really cheap and it does its job fairly well.

Even the intel stock cooler is quiet @ idle to medium load as long as you set up a proper fan profile. (atleast on my brothers i3) ;)

I have my i5 undervolted so the fans never have to spin up since I get really good temps.

Looks very nice! Just curious, is your Twin Frozr a 6pin+6pin or is it a 6pin+8pin?

It is the old 6+8pin one. I'm really glad I managed to get this version because the MSI one uses their 7970 PCB.

lol my 2x 660 SLI uses 2x6 pins in total :)

 

Btw, like the Antec P Line of cases. Built 3 PCs in the P183

Just upgraded to the Fractal Design Define XL R2, its similar in looks like the P183 but more awesome. ^^

 

PS. You can find my build log in my signature. Not done, tho.

I have it, and it is a pretty good budget cooler, both for performance and silence.

Solid rig, but silent?  o you have padding on the doors? I don't see much for sound dampening (Silverstone's foam kit is a worthy $20 investment imo!).

Nice and clean build, you got there! 

May I ask you what voltage you're running on your i5? 

 

I'm interested in undervolting it as well. 

 

Edit: Nvmd, my crappy board doesn't support undervolting :(

I believe the sound dampening material is in the middle of the side panels so it isn't visible.

 

Looks really nice and do you know what would make it look better sleeved cables

Yea I agree, I plan to get the sleeved cables for my psu from Corsair when I grab a new case.

I have it set to 1.184v. You should be able to change the voltages on that board, the setting in bios isn't called "undervolt" you just have to change the vcore to lower than stock voltages.

Yeah, and that's the problem. It doesn't have that option. It has Auto, +0,200.... and so on

Manually type in the voltage you want, you should be able to just use down arrow until you are at vcore then type the voltage you want.

Mhm... don't think this'll work, but it's worth a try. Thanks! :D
