Personal rig finally finished

[thedangerine]

So now with my system finally finished and in the case with no further altercations for while here it is. It all started when I got an i7-6850K in December 2016 that caused me to get a X99 tomahawk from msi when it had an awesome promo going on. This led to me getting a new kit of corsair vengeance red led 16gb x 2 kit of 3000mhz ram(this was before the prices jumped so it was literally half the cost of what it is now, also its red because rgb ram wasnt out yet) my sandisk 240gb boot ssd was about full so I got a 1tb samsung ssd on black friday for only $250, as well as upgrading from a 9 year old hp 1680 x 1050 60hz monitor to a asus 1080p with 144hz and 1 ms response time instead of 7ms. My rx-480 8gb was and still is kicking butt at gaming along with my non-modular(sad:() 750 watt 80+ bronze corsair power supply. Now I finally got a new case, the Rosewill Viper Z (with mail in rebate it was only 20 bucks) I had my system in there pretty sloppy so today I got everything all nice tidy and replace a fan with a broken frame that rattled a lot. I also renamed it now that the whole system is essentially different. The old pc was named mollbrown after the Gemini 3 capsule, the new name is Highland after the landing site of apollo 16 (Descarte Highlands) as well as the street I grew up on. Anyway here are the pics, let me know what you think.

How man diff colors you got going on there and do they blink?

I can see me now, sitting down on my lazy boy chair with a case of vodka staring at the case.

Is PSU-shaming a thing? It should be a thing.

Replace that PSU asap. Never use green CX label with expensive hardware...

I bought it before I kew everything I know now. I'm not sure if I can replace it, its kinda got some sentimental value, plus a new modular one of that wattage is not really in my budget at the moment.

About half of them are rgb the others are red or blue, just used the fans I had plus the fans the case came with.

But thing is, do you have money to buy a whole new system when this PSU kills yours?

Just because its non modular does mean it performs any worse, it is made by a very good well known power supply manufacturer and the only real threat it poses is making cable management rough.

The Green CX line from Corsair is known to pose problem at higher wattage... And your system is NOT a low power one just saying.

My system is literally not capable of drawing more than 500 watts and that is worse case scenario with charging off all the usb ports.

I have the same one. All of my drive cages are stuffed full of cables .

[aezakmi]

The PSU is inverted, that fan sucks air and it's currently sucking hot air from the case instead of fresh air from the outside, and since your drive cages are empty why don't you mount that rad in the front so it also has a fresh air intake, I've also noticed one of the fans is also inverted, it should be facing up, hot air tends to go up and you're just creating a resistance there, sorry I just can't avoid noticing these small details, years of working on my old AMD rig made me always triple check everything from the smallest mobo jumper to the fans and PSU cables.

 

I like the front fans, very bright

I have the psu mounted that way so it pulls more air out of the case, also the rad has to be at the top because even with the drive cages out the tubing was a little tighter than I was comfortable with. All the top fans are intakes and have a fan on both sides of the rad bringing fresh air in. The back and bottom fans are exhaust so that its a mostly positive setup.
