Ok some of the parts in this log are old but believe it or not are brand new unopened a couple of years ago i bought the z77 sabertooth a 3770k a Phantom 410 and 16g corsair vengeance ram thennnn.... my partner and i had a child so the build got put on hold,2 years later we had another i thought the rig would never get done, but finally last week i got the last of what i needed to finish it.

Some of you might know the kraken x61 isnt a direct fit but pretty close so with new holes drilled it fit... just.

 

 

i forgot to get a photo but under the top cover of the 410 there are clips and screws that hold the grill in place so by removing one of the clips the top cover was able to go back on without touching the rad

Card and SSD in i don't know if NZXT done the by design but when you take the additional hdd cage out an ssd fits perfectly inside the bracket, I used removable double sided tape to hold it in place

 

 

with the back panel on and the cable management done

The Phantom 410 is an awesome case...

Nice, same mobo as me! The best looking Sabertooth ever IMO Just an idea, maybe get rid of those tiny mobo fans, I've had mine for over 2 years without them, never a problem, it'll look cleaner and you won't have to put up with that whiny sound they make, just a thought..

would it make much difference to the system temps

They honestly make no difference from what I've found, as I said I've never used them and have never had any issues. I think they're more of just a marketing thing
