Current build

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/323115-project-white-skul-h440-v3-final/

 

Not liking the airflow and space with my H440, dont get me wrong i love the case but i like taking stuff apart and putting it back to gether and im continuously moving stuff around to test temps, sound, and visual.

This new case im getting will make modding/ changing things around very easy.

I will take it all apart just before i get the case, clean and then reassemble in the new case and redo the wiring and tubing.

 

Case+fans are on back order and are arriving at the end of the month.

 

HELP!

Im still trying to decide which side i must put the 4 bottom fans + side window. the two options beblow are examples or what it will look like.

Im using distilled water with white tubing.

 

Option 1 left side: you see mainly the GPU

Option 2 right side: you see the CPU + GPU

I have never had temp issues with the h440! Unless ur system is thermal throttling then there is no reason to change, the h440 looks way better in my opinion

not really.. i can drop the temps by 15-20 by taking the panels off? i would rather go for a bigger and more spacious case. also give me more modding/upgrade room.
